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 (, 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.

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.
