Increased spread of global flash droughts threatens vegetation productivity resilience

Vegetation productivity resilience to fast and slow developing droughts remains poorly understood. This study reports lower resilience, greater sensitivity, and weaker CO₂ fertilization effects under flash drought, indicating limited ecosystem resilience.

Constrained CMIP6 projections indicate less warming and a slower increase in water availability across Asia

Reduction of uncertainty in climate projections is a key issue for climate change adaptation. Here the authors show that an applying an emergent constraint effectively reduces projection uncertainty across Asia, and reveals less warming and a slower increase in water availability than previously estimated.
