This isn’t good news given that today’s hot-dry extremes may become the norm in a warmer and likely drier future. We present similar hot-dry conditions for today and for future projected by climate models. Thanks to amazing collaborators @PierreGentine ,@KKornhuber & @LJiangong.

🚨 Excited to share our latest findings in @NatureGeosci! We found that Rossby waves cause synchronized GPP declines in high-pressure regions. Even more concerning: when hot-dry conditions hit extreme levels, there are non-linear GPP reductions.

Check out our new paper online today at @NatureEcoEvo. We show that greener springs are increasingly followed by browner summers over the past decades, suggesting a shift from win-win to seasonal trade-off between spring carbon gain and summer carbon loss.

A new study working with @PierreGentine & @zhaowlpku came out today ( https://t.co/ceJy9Mjf4V), in which we developed a new framework to isolate rainfall interception from tower-based ET, and upscale to the globe. We find that rain charateristics matter most for this water flux.

New exciting paper by wonderful postdoc @XuLian_PKU https://t.co/v85PZurUTR. We provide a global data-driven, physics-constrained, estimate of canopy interception and emphasize the change in re-evaporation due to changes in rainfall intensity.

Plants water the planet. Many thanks for Arie's @ArieStaal introduction to our work on the hydrological impact of Earth greening in the past two decades ( https://t.co/rI0JFx8UmI).

Increases in vegetation cover over the last two decades have enhanced global water availability, but the hydrological impacts are beyond the regions undergoing vegetation changes, according to a paper published in @NatureGeosci. https://t.co/iQwoaHtM4b

Local/regional precipitation and water resources are not only fed by moisture from local/regional vegetation, but also vegetation in remote upwind areas. Our new paper highlights the critical impacts of afforestation/deforestation on ecosystem/human far beyond local areas. 1/3

We develop an approach to quantify the hydrological effects of global vegetation changes, with ability to account for non-local impacts via spatial redistribution of water vapor. We highlights that water footprints of land cover changes could be far beyond local areas.

Wanna know if current afforestation practices are beneficial or adverse to global water resources? Check out our new paper at @NatureGeosci collaborated with @JiangpengCui @PierreGentine and @Dr_AnpingChen.

Do wet regions get wetter and dry regions get drier in a warming climate? Our new paper shows that vegetation response to rising CO2 induces more water in both regions, but amplifies contrasts between them, exceeding the impact of radiative forcing. https://t.co/P66ROh75rz

In their Review of dryland aridity changes, @XuLian_PKU et al suggest contrasts in atmospheric & ecohydrological metrics are linked to plant physiological responses to CO2 @Dr_AnpingChen @trevorkeenan @justinosheff https://t.co/J75R3HeufH (free-to-read: https://t.co/Z8k1fncfJu)
