Abstract In coniferous western forests, recent widespread tree mortality provided
opportunities to test the long-held theory that forest cover loss increases water yield. We …

The terrestrial carbon and water cycles are strongly coupled. As atmospheric carbon dioxide
concentration increases, climate and the coupled hydrologic cycle are modified, thus …

Determining physiological mechanisms and thresholds for climate‐driven tree die‐off could
help improve global predictions of future terrestrial carbon sinks. We directly tested for the …

As CO 2 concentration in the atmosphere rises, there is a need for improved physical
understanding of its impact on global plant transpiration. This knowledge gap poses a major …

Masting, or the synchronous and irregular production of seed crops, is controlled by
environmental conditions and resource budgets. Increasing temperatures and shifting …

For nearly two decades, the American Southwest has been in the grips of a long-term
'megadrought', punctuated by a number of short and severe 'global change type …

Climate change will increase heat and drought stress in many dryland areas, which could
reduce soil nutrient availability for plants and aggravate nutrient limitation of primary …

Dryland woodland ecosystems worldwide have experienced widespread drought‐and heat‐
related tree mortality events coupled with extreme wildfire behavior. In contrast to other …

High-throughput mapping of latent heat flux (λET) is critical to efforts to optimize water
resources management and to accelerate forest tree breeding for improved drought …

Terrestrial disturbances are increasing in frequency and severity, perturbing the hydrologic
cycle by altering vegetation-mediated water use and microclimate. Here, we synthesize the …
