Diurnal Vegetation Moisture Cycle in the Amazon and Response to Water Stress

Diurnal Vegetation Moisture Cycle in the Amazon and Response to Water Stress Asgarimehr, Milad; Entekhabi, Dara; Camps, Adriano Water stress in the Amazon is exacerbated by rising temperatures and reduced moisture levels. However, understanding forest responses to increased aridity is hindered by limited in situ water potential observations in the Amazon. Remote sensing of water content has emerged as a promising metric. Vegetation Water Content (VWC) diurnal dynamics is hypothesized to reflect
