  • Land use and land cover change has led to more frequent hot, dry summers in parts of the mid-latitudes. Here the authors use an Earth system model to show that regions converted to crops and pastures experience hot, dry summers 2 to 4 times more frequently than they would if native forests had remained.

  • Many models assume a universal carbon use efficiency across forest biomes, in contrast to assumptions of other process-based models. Here the authors analyse forest production efficiency across a wide range of climates to show a positive relationship with annual temperature and precipitation, indicating that ecosystem models are overestimating forest carbon losses under warming.

  • Understanding the response of evapotranspiration to global warming should help to predict surface climate, including heatwaves and droughts. This study shows that increasing atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases and decreasing loadings of anthropogenic (and volcanic) aerosols have led to enhanced evapotranspiration in mid and high latitudes over recent decades.
