• The Community Land Model Version 5: Description of New Features, Benchmarking, and Impact of Forcing Uncertainty (2019, background): “Though this topic has received considerable recent attention in the literature (e.g., Cheng et al., 2017; Frank et al., 2015; Huang et al., 2015; Keenan et al., 2013), there is still no consensus on how the coupled terrestrial carbon and water cycles have changed or will change in the future.”
• Tropical Dry Forest Diversity, Climatic Response, and Resilience in a Changing Climate (2019, background): “Water use efficiency, the ability for an ecosystem to assimilate the same or more carbon [110] is higher in areas such as Mexico and south-central Brazil, where TDFs and savannas are present, (4–9 g C hPa0.”
• Response of ecosystem intrinsic water use efficiency and gross primary productivity to rising vapor pressure deficit (2019, background): “…adaptability to changing environmental conditions (Farquhar et al 1982), and because it ultimately governs the coupling between carbon assimilation and stomatal conductance, it has received considerable attention (Keenan et al 2013, Lévesque et al 2014, Frank et al 2015, van der Sleen et al 2015).”
• Coupling between the terrestrial carbon and water cycles—a review (2019, background): “Isotopic inferences on WUE might be one of our better constraints on those long-term changes (Frank et al 2015) as well as longterm eddy-covariance observations which are now starting to cover a few decades at selected sites (Keenan et al 2013).”
• Climate change and European forests: what do we know, what are the uncertainties, and what are the implications for forest management? (2014, background): “…in this context is how much the water use efficiency of trees may benefit from the enhanced CO2 concentration, because higher water use efficiency could at least partly counteract increasing water shortages under climate change (Battipaglia et al., 2013; De Kauwe et al., 2013; Keenan et al., 2013).”
• Triggers of tree mortality under drought (2018, background): “Recovery of trees after drought is therefore complex, dynamic and determined by at least (1) the degree of damage to the apical and cambial meristematic tissues; (2) the functional status of the remaining hydraulic pathway; (3) the overall health of trees (that is, the remaining foliage and roots); ”
