Soil moisture dominates dryness stress on ecosystem production globally
L. Liu, L. Gudmundsson, et al.
This groundbreaking study by Laibao Liu and colleagues reveals that low soil moisture is the primary factor limiting vegetation growth in over 70% of vegetated areas struggling with dryness stress. Discover how satellite observations of solar-induced fluorescence illuminate the complex relationship between moisture and atmospheric demands, particularly in semi-arid ecosystems.
