In their Review of dryland aridity changes, Xu Lian et al suggest contrasts in atmospheric & ecohydrological metrics are linked to plant physiological responses to CO2 Anping Chen Trevor Keenan Justin Sheffield nature.com/articles/s4301… (free-to-read: rdcu.be/cgsFM)

Do wet regions get wetter and dry regions get drier in a warming climate? Our new paper shows that vegetation response to rising CO2 induces more water in both regions, but amplifies contrasts between them, exceeding the impact of radiative forcing. agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/20…

Increases in vegetation cover over the last two decades have enhanced global water availability, but the hydrological impacts are beyond the regions undergoing vegetation changes, according to a paper published in Nature Geoscience. go.nature.com/3DKIw4T

Local/regional precipitation and water resources are not only fed by moisture from local/regional vegetation, but also vegetation in remote upwind areas. Our new paper highlights the critical impacts of afforestation/deforestation on ecosystem/human far beyond local areas. 1/3
