The recurrent drought extremes have resulted in deleterious impacts on ecological security.
Despite that many attempts have been made to explore ecosystem responses to different …

Rapid onset droughts, termed as “flash droughts”, cause short-term but serious threats to
terrestrial ecosystems and influence carbon dynamics due to insufficient warning. To date …

Climate models predict large climatic variability and more frequent, prolonged droughts in
northern China. Still, few studies have examined the seasonal and interannual variation in …

In the context of increasing global carbon emissions, and the relative shortage of water
resources, research on the relationships between climate change, human activities and the …

Forests play a significant role in mitigating the effects of climate change and regulating the
biogeochemical cycles. Water use efficiency (WUE) is an important indicator that links the …

Ecosystem water-use efficiency (WUE) is a critical indicator to investigate the interaction
between the terrestrial ecosystem carbon and water cycles. WUE, estimated from gross …

The eddy covariance (EC) technique-based observation system allows for researchers to
determine latent and sensible heat fluxes, which are key components of the surface energy …

The Caatinga dry forest encompasses 11% of the total continental territory of Brazil.
Nevertheless, most research on the relationship between phenology and ecosystem …

Recent studies have shown an increasing trend in hydroclimatic disturbances like droughts,
which are anticipated to become more frequent and intense under global warming and …

The impact of climate variability on the Net Primary Productivity (NPP) of different land cover
types and the reaction of NPP to drought conditions are still unclear, especially in Sub …
