Open AccessSoil heat extremes can outpace air temperature extremes
Quantifying changes in hot temperature extremes is key for develo** adaptation strategies. Changes in hot extremes are often determined on the basis of air temperatures; however, hydrology and many biogeoche...

Open AccessImproving air quality assessment using physics-inspired deep graph learning
Existing methods for fine-scale air quality assessment have significant gaps in their reliability. Purely data-driven methods lack any physically-based mechanisms to simulate the interactive process of air pol...

Open AccessWidespread and complex drought effects on vegetation physiology inferred from space
The response of vegetation physiology to drought at large spatial scales is poorly understood due to a lack of direct observations. Here, we study vegetation drought responses related to photosynthesis, evapor...

Open AccessLeaf-level coordination principles propagate to the ecosystem scale
Fundamental axes of variation in plant traits result from trade-offs between costs and benefits of resource-use strategies at the leaf scale. However, it is unclear whether similar trade-offs propagate to the ...

Open AccessMicrobial carbon use efficiency promotes global soil carbon storage
Soils store more carbon than other terrestrial ecosystems1,2. How soil organic carbon (SOC) forms and persists remains uncertain1,3, which makes it challenging to understand how it will respond to climatic change

A joint framework for studying compound ecoclimatic events
Extreme weather and climate events have direct impacts on ecosystems and can further trigger ecosystem disturbances, often having impacts that last longer than the event’s duration. The projected increased fre...

Open AccessGlobal apparent temperature sensitivity of terrestrial carbon turnover modulated by hydrometeorological factors
The ecosystem carbon turnover time—an emergent ecosystem property that partly determines the feedback between the terrestrial carbon cycle and climate—is strongly controlled by temperature. However, it remains...

Open AccessWidespread increasing vegetation sensitivity to soil moisture
Global vegetation and associated ecosystem services critically depend on soil moisture availability which has decreased in many regions during the last three decades. While spatial patterns of vegetation sensi...

Open AccessWidespread shift from ecosystem energy to water limitation with climate change
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 will alter soil moisture...

Open AccessClimatic and soil factors explain the two-dimensional spectrum of global plant trait variation
Plant functional traits can predict community assembly and ecosystem functioning and are thus widely used in global models of vegetation dynamics and land–climate feedbacks. Still, we lack a global understandi...

Machine-learning-based evidence and attribution map** of 100,000 climate impact studies
Increasing evidence suggests that climate change impacts are already observed around the world. Global environmental assessments face challenges to appraise the growing literature. Here we use the language mod...

Open AccessThe three major axes of terrestrial ecosystem function
The leaf economics spectrum1,2 and the global spectrum of plant forms and functions3 revealed fundamental axes of variation in plant traits, which represent different ecological strategies that are shaped by the ...

Increasing impact of warm droughts on northern ecosystem productivity over recent decades
Climate extremes such as droughts and heatwaves have a large impact on terrestrial carbon uptake by reducing gross primary production (GPP). While the evidence for increasing frequency and intensity of climate...

Open AccessSoil moisture–atmosphere feedback dominates land carbon uptake variability
Year-to-year changes in carbon uptake by terrestrial ecosystems have an essential role in determining atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations1. It remains uncertain to what extent temperature and water availabi...
