Soil moisture dominates dryness stress on ecosystem production globally

Soil moisture dominates dryness stress on ecosystem production globally

Dryness stresses vegetation and can lead to declines in productivity, increased emission of carbon, and plant mortality, but the drivers of this stress remain unclear. Here the authors show that soil moisture plays a dominant role relative to atmospheric water demand over most global land vegetated...
