Snow droughts (i.e., winter with abnormally reduced water stored as snow) act as drivers of negative #extremes in global #ecosystem productivity. Our new study ERL highlights the overlooked role of #snowdroughts to impact the #GlobalCarbonCycle. 🌡️❄️🌎🌐🌳🪾🌱 Read more: iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1...

Extra CO2 stimulates #photosynthesis of trees and reduces water losses through transpiration. But does that stimulate growth of #tree stems? Our paper today in NatClimateChange led by Quan Zhang uses theory & data to show that strong growth stimulation is unlikely.🌎🌐🍁 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Increased efficiency of water use does not stimulate tree productivity - Nature Climate Change

The authors theoretically delineate the maximal increases in tree growth that can be expected from increases in plant intrinsic water-use efficiency, which increases with rising CO2. They highlight en...
