Local and General Patterns of Terrestrial Water‐Carbon Coupling

Local and General Patterns of Terrestrial Water‐Carbon Coupling Short Gianotti, Daniel J; Entekhabi, Dara Terrestrial carbon uptake and water availability have coupled feedbacks; specifically water uptake for plant growth and soil drying via transpiration. While we might expect this coupling over time at arid sites, climatic water availability also widely covaries geographically with biomass variables that control photosynthetic rates. Using eddy covariance data globally, we find convex, positiv
