Serious underestimation of reduced carbon uptake due to vegetation compound droughts

J. Song, S. Zhou, et al.

This research conducted by Jiaxi Song, Sha Zhou, Bofu Yu, Yan Li, Yanxu Liu, Ying Yao, Shuai Wang, and Bojie Fu reveals the frequent and severe occurrence of vegetation compound droughts (VCDs) in drylands, where low soil moisture and high vapor pressure deficit hinder carbon uptake. The impacts of these events have been significantly underestimated, highlighting the urgent need for adaptation measures.
