Mechanisms of woody-plant mortality under rising drought, CO2 and vapour pressure deficit
Drought-associated woody-plant mortality has been increasing in most regions with multi-
decadal records and is projected to increase in the future, impacting terrestrial climate …

Integrating the evidence for a terrestrial carbon sink caused by increasing atmospheric CO2
Atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration ([CO2]) is increasing, which increases leaf‐scale
photosynthesis and intrinsic water‐use efficiency. These direct responses have the potential …

Exceptional heat and atmospheric dryness amplified losses of primary production during the 2020 US Southwest hot drought
Earth's ecosystems are increasingly threatened by “hot drought,” which occurs when hot air
temperatures coincide with precipitation deficits, intensifying the hydrological, physiological …

A meta‐analysis of responses of C3 plants to atmospheric CO2: dose–response curves for 85 traits ranging from the molecular to the whole‐plant level
Generalised dose–response curves are essential to understand how plants acclimate to
atmospheric CO2. We carried out a meta‐analysis of 630 experiments in which C3 plants …

Exploring complex water stress–gross primary production relationships: Impact of climatic drivers, main effects, and interactive effects
The dominance of vapor pressure deficit (VPD) and soil water content (SWC) for plant water
stress is still under debate. These two variables are strongly coupled and influenced by …

Drought response strategies and hydraulic traits contribute to mechanistic understanding of plant dry-down to hydraulic failure
Drought-induced tree mortality alters forest structure and function, yet our ability to predict
when and how different species die during drought remains limited. Here, we explore how …

[HTML][HTML] The uncertain role of rising atmospheric CO2 on global plant transpiration
As CO 2 concentration in the atmosphere rises, there is a need for improved physical
understanding of its impact on global plant transpiration. This knowledge gap poses a major …

To what extent can rising [CO2] ameliorate plant drought stress?
Plant responses to elevated atmospheric carbon dioxide (eCO2) have been hypothesized
as a key mechanism that may ameliorate the impact of future drought. Yet, despite decades …
