In a new article in Nature Communications, Wen Zhang, Matt Dannenberg, and colleagues show that seasonal feedbacks slowed the rate of autumn vegetation greening of the Northern Hemisphere.

In a new article in Geophysical Research Letters, Wang et al. use a millennial tree-ring reconstruction and climate simulations to show that recent humidification of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is exceptional and that wet-to-dry transitions are unprecedented over the past millennium.

In a new paper in Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, Miriam Johnston shows that carbon and water fluxes of U.S. ecosystems respond differently to vapor pressure deficit if it's driven by high temperatures than if it's driven by low humidity.
