Widespread Increase in Global Plant Water Stress Obscured by Greening

AGU Advances, Volume 7, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract Understanding the vulnerability of plants to more severe and frequent drought events and developing adaptive management strategies requires robust methods for quantifying long‐term changes in plant water stress (PWS). Most data‐driven explorations of long‐term trends in PWS have focused on alterations in canopy structure (e.g., leaf area index)

Formulation and Implementation of a Dynamic Roughness Length for Improved Surface Wind Speeds in WRF

Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Accurate near‐surface winds from the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model are essential for wind‐energy applications, yet persistent biases remain that depend on terrain, season, and land cover. This study develops and evaluates an observation‐informed, time‐varying aerodynamic roughness length for WRF. The roughness length is inferred

Evaluating Fire Indices for Fire Ignition and Spread Rate in the Western United States

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Wildfires are complex events that are challenging to model. Researchers and land managers often rely on fire indices as a proxy of fire risk in operational forecasts and future projections. However, in the scientific literature, the choice of which fire index to use is often arbitrary and not tied to specific fire behaviors. Here, we provide a

Spatial Heterogeneity and Nonlinear Influencing Mechanisms of Vegetation Carbon Sequestration Capacity in the Southwest China Karst Region

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Understanding of the spatiotemporal dynamics of vegetation carbon sequestration capacity (VCSC) in Southwest China's contiguous karst region is critical for regional carbon cycling. Using MOD17A3 data from 2001 to 2023, we analyzed spatial heterogeneity in vegetation net primary productivity (NPP) and applied Geodetector to evaluate nonlinear ...

Global River Discharge Projections From a Large Multi‐Model Ensemble of CMIP6 and ISIMIP3b Simulations

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Rivers are central to the global hydrological cycle, supporting ecosystems and human water use. River discharge, one of the best observed hydrological variables, is expected to change under anthropogenic warming with potentially devastating consequences.
