Characteristics, drivers and feedbacks of global greening
Vegetation greenness has been increasing globally since at least 1981, when satellite
technology enabled large-scale vegetation monitoring. The greening phenomenon, together with …

Climate mitigation from vegetation biophysical feedbacks during the past three decades
The surface air temperature response to vegetation changes has been studied for the extreme
case of land-cover change 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 ; yet, it has never been quantified for the slow but …

Partitioning global land evapotranspiration using CMIP5 models constrained by observations
The ratio of plant transpiration to total terrestrial evapotranspiration (T/ET) captures the role
of vegetation in surface–atmosphere interactions. However, its magnitude remains highly …

Global water availability boosted by vegetation-driven changes in atmospheric moisture transport
Surface-water availability, defined as precipitation minus evapotranspiration, can be
affected by changes in vegetation. These impacts can be local, due to the modification of …

Summer soil drying exacerbated by earlier spring greening of northern vegetation
Earlier vegetation greening under climate change raises evapotranspiration and thus lowers
spring soil moisture, yet the extent and magnitude of this water deficit persistence into the …
