TLDR
In this paper, remote-sensing data reveal that productivity is more sensitive to atmospheric moisture than precipitation deficits, especially in grasslands where plants loosely regulate water use and vary in their regulation of water use.Abstract:
Grass species vary in their regulation of water use. Remote-sensing data reveal that productivity is more sensitive to atmospheric moisture than precipitation deficits, especially in grasslands where plants loosely regulate water use.read more

TL;DR: The results highlight that the impacts of VPD on vegetation growth should be adequately considered to assess ecosystem responses to future climate conditions.

Land–atmospheric feedbacks during droughts and heatwaves: state of the science and current challenges
TL;DR: The goal of the perspective is not to present a convincing answer to these questions, but to assess the scientific progress to date, while highlighting new and innovative avenues to keep advancing the understanding in the future.

Large influence of soil moisture on long-term terrestrial carbon uptake
Julia K. Green,Sonia I. Seneviratne,Alexis Berg,Kirsten L. Findell,Stefan Hagemann,David M. Lawrence,Pierre Gentine +6 more
TL;DR: Earth system models suggest that soil-moisture variability and trends will induce large carbon releases throughout the twenty-first century and suggest that the increasing trend in carbon uptake rate may not be sustained past the middle of the century and could result in accelerated atmospheric CO2 growth.

Hydraulic diversity of forests regulates ecosystem resilience during drought
William R. L. Anderegg,Alexandra G. Konings,Anna T. Trugman,Kailiang Yu,David R. Bowling,Robert Gabbitas,Daniel S. Karp,Stephen W. Pacala,John S. Sperry,Benjamin N. Sulman,Benjamin N. Sulman,Nicole Zenes +11 more
TL;DR: The results demonstrate that diversity in the hydraulic traits of trees mediates ecosystem resilience to drought and is likely to have an important role in future ecosystem–atmosphere feedback effects in a changing climate.
Journal ArticleDOI
Soil moisture dominates dryness stress on ecosystem production globally.
TL;DR: Satellite observations of solar-induced fluorescence with estimates of SM and VPD show that SM is the dominant driver of dryness stress on ecosystem production across more than 70% of vegetated land areas with valid data, and it is found that SM stress is strongest in semi-arid ecosystems.

Mechanisms of plant survival and mortality during drought: why do some plants survive while others succumb to drought?
Nate G. McDowell,William T. Pockman,Craig D. Allen,David D. Breshears,Neil S. Cobb,Thomas Kolb,Jennifer A. Plaut,John S. Sperry,Adam G. West,Adam G. West,David G. Williams,Enrico A. Yepez +11 more
TL;DR: A hydraulically based theory considering carbon balance and insect resistance that allowed development and examination of hypotheses regarding survival and mortality was developed, and incorporating this hydraulic framework may be effective for modeling plant survival andortality under future climate conditions.

TL;DR: The North American Regional Reanalysis (NARR) project as mentioned in this paper uses the NCEP Eta model and its Data Assimilation System (at 32-km-45-layer resolution with 3-hourly output) to capture regional hydrological cycle, the diurnal cycle and other important features of weather and climate variability.

TL;DR: In this article, eleven coupled climate-carbon cycle models were used to study the coupling between climate change and the carbon cycle. But, there was still a large uncertainty on the magnitude of these sensitivities.

Changes in precipitation with climate change
TL;DR: There is a direct influence of global warming on precipitation as mentioned in this paper, as the water holding capacity of air increases by about 7% per 1°C warming, which leads to increased water vapor in the atmosphere.
