Despite extensive studies on hydrological responses to forest cover change in small
watersheds, the hydrological responses to forest change and associated mechanisms …

Precipitation (PPT) is a primary climatic determinant of plant growth and aboveground net
primary production (ANPP) over much of the globe. Thus, PPT–ANPP relationships are …

Water availability plays a critical role in shaping terrestrial ecosystems, particularly in low-
and mid-latitude regions. The sensitivity of vegetation growth to precipitation strongly …

Global warming delays the autumn date of foliar senescence (DFS) in recent decades, with
positive implications for growing season length and therefore global carbon storage …

The magnitude of stream and river carbon dioxide (CO2) emission is affected by seasonal
changes in watershed biogeochemistry and hydrology. Global estimates of this flux are …

Urban heat islands (UHIs) exacerbate the risk of heat-related mortality associated with
global climate change. The intensity of UHIs varies with population size and mean annual …

The structure and function of alpine grassland ecosystems, including their extensive soil
carbon stocks, are largely shaped by temperature. The Tibetan Plateau in particular has …

Direct quantification of terrestrial biosphere responses to global change is crucial for
projections of future climate change in Earth system models. Here, we synthesized …

The sensitivity of vegetation productivity to precipitation (S ppt) is a key metric for
understanding the variations in vegetation productivity under changing precipitation and …

We evaluated the response of the Earth land biomes to drought by correlating a drought
index with three global indicators of vegetation activity and growth: vegetation indices from …
