  • Global pattern of soil temperature exceeding air temperature and its linkages with surface energy fluxes

    Open AccessRen Wang, Jiang Lu et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2024

    Understanding the pattern of changes in extreme heat is crucial to developing climate change adaptation strategies. Existing studies mostly focus on changes in air temperature and tend to overlook soil temperature; however, changes in extreme heat in air and soil can be inconsistent under global change and water–carbon cycling may be more sensitive to soil condition. In this study, we examine the global pattern of long-term trends in the differen…

  • Regulation of the global carbon and water cycles through vegetation structural and physiological dynamics

    Open AccessWantong Li, Gregory Duveiller et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2024

    Vegetation plays an essential role in regulating carbon and water cycles, e.g. by taking up atmospheric CO 2 through photosynthesis and by transferring soil water to the atmosphere through transpiration. Vegetation function is shaped by its structure and physiology: vegetation structure is determined by the amount of materials for plants and how it is organised in space and time, while vegetation physiology controls the instantaneous response of …

  • Increasing meteorological drought under climate change reduces terrestrial ecosystem productivity and carbon storage

  • Hybrid modeling of evapotranspiration: Inferring stomatal and aerodynamic resistances using combined physics-based and machine learning

    Open AccessReda ElGhawi, Basil Kraft et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2023

    The process of evapotranspiration transfers liquid water from vegetation and soil surfaces to the atmosphere, the so-called latent heat flux ( Q LE ), and modulates the Earth’s energy, water, and carbon cycle. Vegetation controls Q LE by regulating leaf stomata opening (surface resistance r s in the Big Leaf approach) and by altering surface roughness (aerodynamic resistance r a ). Estimating r s and r a across different vegetation types is a key…

  • Amplified warming induced by large-scale application of water-saving techniques

    Open AccessJing Fu, Shaozhong Kang et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2022

    Large-scale agricultural activities can exacerbate global climate change. In the past three decades, over 5 Mha of cultivated land have been equipped with water-saving techniques (WSTs) in Northwest China to cope with water scarcity. However, the effect of WSTs on local climate and its mechanisms are not yet understood. Here, we have quantified the local climatic effect by comparing temperature and humidity at controlled and irrigated sites befor…

  • Recent increase in the observation-derived land evapotranspiration due to global warming

    Open AccessRen Wang, Longhui Li et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2021

    Estimates of change in global land evapotranspiration (ET) are necessary for understanding the terrestrial hydrological cycle under changing environments. However, large uncertainties still exist in our estimates, mostly related to the uncertainties in upscaling in situ observations to large scale under non-stationary surface conditions. Here, we use machine learning models, artificial neural network and random forest informed by ground observati…

  • Coupling between the terrestrial carbon and water cycles—a review

    Open AccessPierre Gentine, Julia K Green et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2019

    The terrestrial carbon and water cycles are strongly coupled. As atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration increases, climate and the coupled hydrologic cycle are modified, thus altering the terrestrial water cycle and the availability of soil moisture necessary for plants’ carbon dioxide uptake. Concomitantly, rising surface carbon dioxide concentrations also modify stomatal (small pores at the leaf surface) regulation as well as biomass, thus al…

  • Evaluation and machine learning improvement of global hydrological model-based flood simulations

    Open AccessTao Yang, Fubao Sun et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2019

    A warmer climate is expected to accelerate global hydrological cycle, causing more intense precipitation and floods. Despite recent progress in global flood risk assessment, the accuracy and improvement of global hydrological models (GHMs)-based flood simulation is insufficient for most applications. Here we compared flood simulations from five GHMs under the Inter-Sectoral Impact Model Intercomparison Project 2a (ISIMIP2a) protocol, against thos…
