Green water—terrestrial precipitation, evaporation and soil moisture—is fundamental to
Earth system dynamics and is now extensively perturbed by human pressures at continental …

Droughts and heatwaves cause agricultural loss, forest mortality, and drinking water scarcity,
especially when they occur simultaneously as combined events. Their predicted increase in …

Terrestrial ecosystems are essential for food and water security and CO2 uptake. Ecosystem
function is dependent on the availability of soil moisture, yet it is unclear how climate change …

Although a key driver of Earth's climate system, global land-atmosphere energy fluxes are
poorly constrained. Here we use machine learning to merge energy flux measurements from …

The fate of the terrestrial biosphere is highly uncertain given recent and projected changes
in climate. This is especially acute for impacts associated with changes in drought frequency …

In just the past 5 years, the field of Earth observation has progressed beyond the offerings of
conventional space-agency-based platforms to include a plethora of sensing opportunities …

Evapotranspiration is a major component of the global water cycle and provides a critical
nexus between terrestrial water, carbon and surface energy exchanges. Evapotranspiration …

Soil pH regulates the capacity of soils to store and supply nutrients, and thus contributes
substantially to controlling productivity in terrestrial ecosystems. However, soil pH is not an …

Abstract Changes in the hydrological conditions of the land surface have substantial impacts
on society,. Yet assessments of observed continental dryness trends yield contradicting …

Reduced rainfall increases the risk of forest dieback, while in return forest loss might
intensify regional droughts. The consequences of this vegetation–atmosphere feedback for …
