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 …

Drought is one of the most difficult natural hazards to quantify and is divided into categories
(meteorological, agricultural, ecological and hydrological), which makes assessing recent …

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 …

In recent decades, Technology and Innovation (TI) have shown tremendous potential for
improving agricultural productivity and environmental sustainability. However, the adoption …

The water and organic carbon stored within unsaturated zones are crucial in terrestrial
ecosystems; however, the coupling effects of deep soil water and organic carbon are still …

Europe has experienced severe drought events in recent decades, posing challenges to
understand vegetation responses due to diverse vegetation distribution, varying growth …

Vapour pressure deficit (VPD) plays a crucial role in regulating plant carbon and water
fluxes due to its influence on stomatal behaviour and transpiration. Yet, characterising …

Plant transpiration is a key flux of surface water loss to the atmosphere, determining the
available surface water for ecosystem and human use. However, over China, the magnitude …

Extreme drought events in Central Asia are becoming increasingly frequent, causing further
harm to the vegetation in this region. It is essential to comprehend how vegetation …

Drought changes can profoundly influence vegetation growth while vegetation, in turn, may
impact drought by modulating water and energy exchanges between the land and …
