River networks represent the largest biogeochemical nexus between the continents, ocean
and atmosphere. Our current understanding of the role of rivers in the global carbon cycle …

Process-based hydrological models have a long history dating back to the 1960s. Criticized
by some as over-parameterized, overly complex, and difficult to use, a more nuanced view is …

Climate change can reduce surface-water supply by enhancing evapotranspiration in
forested mountains, especially during heatwaves. We investigate this 'drought paradox'for …

An increase in urban vegetation is an often proposed mitigation strategy to reduce urban
heat and improve outdoor thermal comfort (OTC). Vegetation can alter urban microclimate …

Knowledge of future terrestrial carbon (C) pools and fluxes is based on simulations by
Dynamic Global Vegetation Models (DGVMs; Cox et al., 2000; Sitch et al., 2008). For …

Increasing urban tree cover is an often proposed mitigation strategy against urban heat as
trees are expected to cool cities through evapotranspiration and shade provision. However …

Contents Summary 652 I. Introduction 652 II. Discrepancy in predicting the effects of rising
[CO2] on the terrestrial C sink 655 III. Carbon and nutrient storage in plants and its modelling …

Vegetation and the water cycles are inherently coupled across a wide range of spatial and
temporal scales. Water availability interacts with plant ecophysiology and controls …

Research on the coupling of soil, vegetation, and hydrological processes is not only a
research hotspot in disciplines such as pedology, ecohydrology and Earth system science …

Increasing urbanization is likely to intensify the urban heat island effect, decrease outdoor
thermal comfort, and enhance runoff generation in cities. Urban green spaces are often …
