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 …

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

Year-to-year changes in carbon uptake by terrestrial ecosystems have an essential role in
determining atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations. It remains uncertain to what extent …

The concept of a digital twin of Earth envisages the convergence of Big Earth Data with
physics-based models in an interactive computational framework that enables monitoring …

As global land surface temperature continues to rise and heatwave events increase in
frequency, duration, and/or intensity, our key food and fuel cropping systems will likely face …

Arctic warming can influence tundra ecosystem function with consequences for climate
feedbacks, wildlife and human communities. Yet ecological change across the Arctic tundra …

The Global Land Surface Satellite (GLASS) product suite currently contains 12 products,
including leaf area index, fraction of absorbed photosynthetically active radiation, fraction of …

In 2009, the International Soil Moisture Network (ISMN) was initiated as a community effort,
funded by the European Space Agency, to serve as a centralised data hosting facility for …

This paper is derived from a keynote talk given at the Google's 2020 Flood Forecasting
Meets Machine Learning Workshop. Recent experiments applying deep learning to rainfall …

A rich body of knowledge links biodiversity to ecosystem functioning (BEF), but it is primarily
focused on small scales. We review the current theory and identify six expectations for scale …
