Widespread increasing vegetation sensitivity to soil moisture
W. Li, M. Migliavacca, et al.
In groundbreaking research conducted by Wantong Li and colleagues, a significant increase in vegetation sensitivity to soil moisture has been found, particularly in semi-arid and arid regions. This rise in sensitivity, influenced by hydro-climate variables, raises critical concerns about ecosystem vulnerability to water scarcity and climate change. Discover the implications of these findings for future vegetation carbon uptake.
