Sensitivity of atmospheric CO2 growth rate to observed changes in terrestrial water storage

V Humphrey, J Zscheischler, P Ciais, L Gudmundsson… - Nature, 2018 - nature.com
Land ecosystems absorb on average 30 per cent of anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2)
emissions, thereby slowing the increase of CO2 concentration in the atmosphere. Year-to …

Climate-induced variations in global wildfire danger from 1979 to 2013

WM Jolly, MA Cochrane, PH Freeborn… - Nature …, 2015 - nature.com
Climate strongly influences global wildfire activity, and recent wildfire surges may signal fire
weather-induced pyrogeographic shifts. Here we use three daily global climate data sets …

Contrasting carbon cycle responses of the tropical continents to the 2015–2016 El Niño
