Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) have been presumed to ameliorate crop tolerance to
drought. Here, we review the role of AMF in maintaining water supply to plants from drying …

Evidence exists that tree mortality is accelerating in some regions of the tropics,, with
profound consequences for the future of the tropical carbon sink and the global …

An exponential rise in the atmospheric vapour pressure deficit (VPD) is among the most
consequential impacts of climate change in terrestrial ecosystems. Rising VPD has negative …

Climate change can lead to the simultaneous occurrence of extreme droughts and heat
waves increasing the frequency of compound events with unknown impacts on forests. Here …

Irrigation is an important adaptation to reduce crop yield loss due to water stress from both
soil water deficit (low soil moisture) and atmospheric aridity (high vapor pressure deficit …

Rising atmospheric dryness [vapor pressure deficit (VPD)] can limit photosynthesis and thus
reduce vegetation productivity. Meanwhile, plants can benefit from global warming and the …

Tree rings provide an invaluable long‐term record for understanding how climate and other
drivers shape tree growth and forest productivity. However, conventional tree‐ring analysis …

Increasing heatwaves are threatening forest ecosystems globally. Leaf thermal regulation
and tolerance are important for plant survival during heatwaves, though the interaction …

Our understanding of the impact of climate change on global coffee production is largely
based on studies focusing on temperature and precipitation, but other climate indicators …

Rising atmospheric vapour pressure deficit (VPD) associated with climate change affects
boreal forest growth via stomatal closure and soil dryness. However, the relationship …
