Compound droughts and hot events or extremes (CDHEs) may lead to larger repercussions
than do individual extremes. Due to the disastrous impacts and increased risk of these …

Compound extremes pose immense challenges and hazards to communities, and this is
particularly true for compound hydrometeorological extremes associated with deadly floods …

Climate tipping points occur when change in a part of the climate system becomes self-
perpetuating beyond a warming threshold, leading to substantial Earth system impacts …

The vapor pressure deficit reflects the difference between how much moisture the
atmosphere could and actually does hold, a factor that fundamentally affects …

Although evidence of ecosystem productivity to vapor pressure deficit (VPD) and soil
moisture (SM) is abundant, their respective effects remain unclear due to tightly land …

Aridity is a complex environmental hazard, posing potential risks to more than 38% of the
world's population in terms of poverty, reduction in crop and livestock production, water …

Estimates of change in global land evapotranspiration (ET) are necessary for understanding
the terrestrial hydrological cycle under changing environments. However, large uncertainties …

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 …

Forests play a major role in the global carbon cycle, and droughts have been shown to
explain much of the interannual variability in the terrestrial carbon sink capacity. The …

The atmospheric boundary layer mediates the exchange of energy, matter, and momentum
between the land surface and the free troposphere, integrating a range of physical …
