A shift in the dominant role of atmospheric vapor pressure deficit and soil moisture on vegetation greening in China

Yongming Cheng et al.

Summary: This study assesses ecosystem productivity in China using solar-induced chlorophyll fluorescence (SIF) and finds that vapor pressure deficit (VPD) and soil moisture (SM) have significant effects. The land-atmosphere interaction mechanism is more notable near the agro-pastoral ecotone. The study also reveals that soil moisture has become the dominant factor in vegetation productivity since 2007.

How well do recently reconstructed solar-induced fluorescence datasets model gross primary productivity?

Ankit Shekhar et al.

Summary: The collection of long-term reconstructed solar-induced fluorescence datasets provides new opportunities for modeling vegetation dynamics and predicting gross primary productivity (GPP). These datasets have a linear relationship with ground-based GPP measurements and are better predictors of GPP compared to remotely sensed vegetation indices. The SIF-GPP relationship becomes weaker during drought conditions.

Climate drivers of the variations of vegetation productivity in India

Akash Verma et al.

Summary: The study found that there is a causal relationship between precipitation and gross primary production (GPP) and net photosynthesis (PSN) in India, while there is no causal connection from total water storage (TWS) to these processes. This highlights the immediate impact of precipitation on carbon capture in India's shallow-rooted croplands.

Future changes in Aridity Index at two and four degrees of global warming above preindustrial levels

Xiaoxin Wang et al.

Summary: This study projects the changes in global terrestrial Aridity Index with 2 and 4 degrees C of global warming above preindustrial levels, showing that the increase in precipitation and PET leads to a decrease in AI. The northern high latitudes show remarkable decreases in AI, with the expansion of drylands in semi-arid and arid regions being most pronounced.

Response of vegetation phenology to soil moisture dynamics in the Mongolian Plateau

Min Luo et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the impacts of soil moisture and drought on vegetation phenology in the Mongolian Plateau. The results showed a negative trend in soil moisture and an increase in drought, which had significant effects on vegetation phenology. The study also found strong seasonal variations in the influence of soil moisture on vegetation, which decreased with soil depth.

Large Sensitivity of Simulated Indian Summer Monsoon Rainfall (ISMR) to Global Warming: Implications of ISMR Projections

P. Rajesh et al.

Summary: This study emphasizes the importance of reliable projections of Indian Summer Monsoon Rainfall and the sensitivity of models towards global mean temperature changes. It also highlights the influence of historical data on the sensitivity of simulated models. The research offers a way to correct bias in models and improve accuracy.

Soil moisture variation drives canopy water content dynamics across the western US

Drew S. Lyons et al.

Summary: Drought stress is a major contributor to global plant mortality, with recent advances in remote sensing allowing for observations of plant water status on a large scale. A new index, nVOD(r), quantifies the difference between night and daytime VOD retrievals to determine plant sensitivity to water supply variations and atmospheric water demand. Vegetation in transitional climate zones between forests and non-forests shows the highest sensitivity to both soil moisture and VPD variations, suggesting they will likely be impacted first by drought stress as the planet warms.

Soil moisture-atmosphere feedback dominates land carbon uptake variability

Vincent Humphrey et al.

Summary: The study demonstrates that global land carbon uptake variability is mainly driven by soil moisture, which indirectly affects photosynthesis. The soil moisture-atmosphere feedback mechanism amplifies temperature and humidity anomalies, enhancing the direct impact of soil water stress.

Feedback From Vegetation to Interannual Variations of Indian Summer Monsoon Rainfall

Sachin Budakoti et al.

Summary: The study examines the impact of interannual variations of vegetation on Indian Summer Monsoon Rainfall (ISMR) and suggests that representing time-varying leaf area index (LAI) is crucial for accurate predictions of ISMR, particularly during drought years. Using numerical experiments and information theory-based analysis, the research highlights the importance of regional land-atmosphere feedbacks in influencing the variability of ISMR.

Robust increase of Indian monsoon rainfall and its variability under future warming in CMIP6 models

Anja Katzenberger et al.

Summary: The latest CMIP6 simulations show a substantial increase in Indian summer monsoon rainfall under unabated climate change, with most models projecting the increase to contribute to precipitation especially in the Himalaya region, northeast of the Bay of Bengal, and the west coast of India.
