Droughts in Asian Least Developed Countries: Vulnerability and sustainability (2015, background): “Soil moisture stress and evapotranspiration affects the transpiration, growth and water use ef ﬁ ciency and on the hydrological cycle (Betts et al., 2007).”
Disentangling climatic and anthropogenic controls on global terrestrial evapotranspiration trends (2015, background): “These results are consistent with modeled and observed plant physiological responses to the increase of CO2 concentration in the atmosphere (Betts et al 2007, Leakey et al 2009).”
Species-specific climate sensitivity of tree growth in Central-West Germany (2009, background): “Interestingly, the clearly differing responses of the F. sylvatica and Q. petraea—both deciduous broadleaf species—have implications for numerous modeling studies, which parameterize growth according to plant functional types (Betts et al. 2007).”
Hydrological droughts in the 21st century, hotspots and uncertainties from a global multimodel ensemble experiment (2013, background): “The effects of CO2 and dynamic vegetation on plant evapotranspiration and mean runoff have been studied before (24, 25, 33, 34), but the effect on drought and a direct comparison with hydrological models has not been presented before.”
Implications of climate change for agricultural productivity in the early twenty-first century (2010, background): “…with an increase in mean run-off and the greatest increase in available soil moisture included the effects of CO2 fertilization in the model, while those with a decrease in mean run-off and the smallest increase in soil moisture availability did not include this effect (Betts et al. 2007).”
Climate change impacts on global agriculture (2010, methodology): “The model is a further refinement of the GTAP model (Hertel 1997), and is based on the version modified by Burniaux and Truong(3) (2002) as well as on the previous GTAP-W model introduced by Berrittella et al.”
Elevated CO2 effects on plant carbon, nitrogen, and water relations: six important lessons from FACE. (2009, result): “Has the increase in CO2 that plants have experienced thus far already altered evapotranspiration? Current model predictions indicate that runoff from continental interiors has risen as a direct consequence of decreased ET (Betts et al. 2007), which is at least partially validated by the results from”
A Dynamic Optimality Principle for Water Use Strategies Explains Isohydric to Anisohydric Plant Responses to Drought (2018, background): “, 2000) as well as water cycling (Betts et al., 2007; Katul et al., 2012), sensible heat flux, and boundary layer dynamics regulating rainfall predisposition (Siqueira et al.”

Coupling between the terrestrial carbon and water cycles—a review (2019, background): “Those various changes modify Tr and thus evapotranspiration (Lemordant et al 2016, Swann et al 2016, Lemordant et al 2018), modulate soil moisture availability (Ainsworth and Long 2005, Leuzinger and Körner 2007, Lemordant et al 2016) and potentially runoff (Betts et al 2007, Lemordant et al 2018).”
