Evapotranspiration (ET)—the distribution and partitioning of which is strongly mediated by
vegetation—is central to the water, energy and carbon cycles. In this Review, we examine …

Anthropogenic climate change is decreasing seasonal snowpacks globally, with potentially
catastrophic consequences on water resources, given the long-held reliance on snowpack …

The impact of atmospheric vapor pressure deficit (VPD) on plant photosynthesis has long
been acknowledged, but large interactions with air temperature (T) and soil moisture (SM) …

This paper aims to provide a state-of-the-art review on the effects of vegetation roots on the
soil structure and soil hydraulic properties. After a thorough review of current studies, the …

Global photosynthesis is increasing with elevated atmospheric CO2 concentrations, a
response known as the CO2 fertilization effect (CFE), but the key processes of CFE are not …

Water availability is a major factor constraining humanity's ability to meet the future food and
energy needs of a growing and increasingly affluent human population. Water plays an …

A global network of long‐term carbon and water flux measurements has existed since the
late 1990s. With its representative sampling of the terrestrial biosphere's climate and …

The remarkable complexity of soil and its importance to a wide range of ecosystem services
presents major challenges to the modeling of soil processes. Although major progress in soil …

Species distribution modeling is a valuable tool with many applications across ecology and
evolutionary biology. The selection of biologically meaningful environmental variables that …

Evaporation (E) and transpiration (T) respond differently to ongoing changes in climate,
atmospheric composition, and land use. It is difficult to partition ecosystem-scale …
