Tree restoration is an effective way to store atmospheric carbon and mitigate climate
change. However, large-scale tree-cover expansion has long been known to increase …

A key Earth system process is the circulation of evaporated moisture through the
atmosphere. Spatial connections between evaporation and precipitation affect the global …

Integrated assessment models that incorporate biodiversity and ecosystem services could
be an important tool for improving our understanding of interconnected social-economic …

Abstract Changes in evaporation over land affect terrestrial precipitation via atmospheric
moisture recycling and, consequently, freshwater availability. Although global moisture …

Dryland precipitation depends on upwind and local moisture sources via moisture recycling.
How upwind moisture variations affect interannual variations of downwind precipitation and …

Total evaporation from the vast terrain of the Tibetan Plateau (TP) may strongly influence
downwind regions. However, the ultimate fate of this moisture remains unclear. This study …

As a key region supplementing China's limited croplands, Northwest China has undergone
rapid cropland expansion over the past decades to satisfy rising food demand from …

Mediterranean areas are projected to face increased water scarcity due to global changes.
Because a relatively large fraction of the precipitation in Mediterranean areas originates …

Earth's hydrological cycle critically depends on the atmospheric moisture flows connecting
evaporation to precipitation. Here we convert a decade of reanalysis-based moisture …

Tree restoration is a popular approach to mitigating climate change, but its hydrological
impacts are often overlooked. Tree restoration increases evaporation, as well as increasing …
