• Causes of climate change over the historical record (2019, background): “…and tropical regions of the central and eastern Pacific associated with the transition to a negative Interdecadal PacificOscillation phase (Zhang et al 1997, Power et al 1999) coincident with the early-2000s hiatus (Kosaka and Xie 2013, England et al 2014), and the high-latitude Southern…”
• Global convergence in the vulnerability of forests to drought (2012, neutral): “…from 81 sites worldwide operate with narrow ( , 1 megapascal) hydraulic safety margins against injurious levels of drought stress and therefore potentially face long-term reductions in productivity and survival if temperature and aridity increase as predicted for many regions across the globe 5,6 .”
• Current changes in tropical precipitation (2010, background): “While observed precipitation responses appear larger than those simulated by models (Zhang et al 2007, Wentz et al 2007, Allan and Soden 2008) it is unclear whether this relates to model deficiency, inadequacy in the observing system or is a statistical artefact of the relatively short satellite…”
• Plant functional diversity modulates global environmental change effects on grassland productivity (2018, background): “1997a) and precipitation patterns (Zhang et al. 2007), have triggered two lines of productive research aiming to understand their consequences for the Earth’s ecosystems.”
• Bootstrap Pettitt test for detecting change points in hydroclimatological data: case study of Itaipu Hydroelectric Plant, Brazil (2019, background): “…1995, 2001, 2007, 2014, Kundzewicz and Robson 2000, National Academy of Sciences 2002, 2010, Alley et al. 2003, Fu et al. 2004, Kundzewicz and Robson 2004, Loucks et al. 2005, UNDP 2007, Zhang et al. 2007, Reis and Yilmaz 2008, Rosenzweig et al. 2008, Dailidiené et al. 2011, Wang and Qin 2017).”
• Carbon cost of plant nitrogen acquisition: A mechanistic, globally applicable model of plant nitrogen uptake, retranslocation, and fixation (2010, background): “ET may decrease as regions become drier [Cox et al., 1999, 2000] or due to CO2 induced stomatal closure [Gedney et al., 2006] or increase as other regions become wetter [Zhang et al., 2007].”
• Observed poleward expansion of the Hadley circulation since 1979 (2007, methodology): “Using precipitation data from the Global Historical Climatology Network, Zhang et al. (2007) recently found a decrease in subtropical precipitation in NH between 1925 and 1999.”
• Habitat shifts of endangered species under altered climate conditions: importance of biotic interactions (2008, background): “The earth’s climate is changing in part as a result of human-caused emissions of heat-trapping gases (Tett et al., 1999; IDAG, 2005; IPCC, 2007; Zhang et al., 2007).”
