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 …

Vegetation greenness has been increasing globally since at least 1981, when satellite
technology enabled large-scale vegetation monitoring. The greening phenomenon, together …

Surface-water availability, defined as precipitation minus evapotranspiration, can be affected
by changes in vegetation. These impacts can be local, due to the modification of …

Executive summary Land and climate interact in complex ways through changes in forcing
and multiple biophysical and biogeochemical feedbacks across different spatial and …

Vegetation change can alter surface energy balance and subsequently affect the local
climate. This biophysical impact has been well studied for forestation cases, but the sign and …

Vegetation activity and phenology are significantly affected by climate change, and changes
in vegetation activity and phenology can in turn affect regional or global climate patterns. As …

The mitigation potential of vegetation-driven biophysical effects is strongly influenced by the
background climate and will therefore be influenced by global warming. Based on an …

Abstract Changes in vegetation structure are expected to influence the redistribution of heat
and moisture; however, how variations in the leaf area index (LAI) affect this global energy …

Many ecological restoration programs have been implemented in China during the last two
decades. At the same time, the vegetation has turned green significantly in China. However …

This study introduces CNRM‐ESM2‐1, the Earth system (ES) model of second generation
developed by CNRM‐CERFACS for the sixth phase of the Coupled Model Intercomparison …
