Extreme heat, drought and moisture excess are increasingly co-occurring within a single
growing season, impacting crop yields in global breadbasket regions. In this Review, we …

Light use efficiency (LUE) models have been widely used to estimate terrestrial gross
primary production (GPP) at local, regional, and global scales, which is vital for …

Agricultural research has fostered productivity growth, but the historical influence of
anthropogenic climate change (ACC) on that growth has not been quantified. We develop a …

Macro-economic assessments of climate impacts lack an analysis of the distribution of daily
rainfall, which can resolve both complex societal impact channels and anthropogenically …

Despite the growing interest in predicting global and regional trends in vegetation
productivity in response to a changing climate, changes in water constraint on vegetation …

Estimates of global economic damage caused by carbon dioxide (CO 2) emissions can
inform climate policy 1, 2, 3. The social cost of carbon (SCC) quantifies these damages by …

Increased exposure to extreme heat from both climate change and the urban heat island
effect—total urban warming—threatens the sustainability of rapidly growing urban …

Severe and persistent 21st-century drought in southwestern North America (SWNA)
motivates comparisons to medieval megadroughts and questions about the role of …

Abstract The China Meteorological Forcing Dataset (CMFD) is the first high spatial-temporal
resolution gridded near-surface meteorological dataset developed specifically for studies of …

Climatic warming alters the onset, duration and cessation of the vegetative season. While
previous studies have shown a tight link between thermal conditions and leaf phenology …
