Atmospheric dryness reduces photosynthesis along a large range of soil water deficits
Nature Communications, 2022 Both low soil water content (SWC) and high atmospheric dryness (vapor pressure deficit, VPD) can negatively affect terrestrial gross primary production (GPP). The sensitivity of GPP to soil versus atmospheric dryness is difficult to disentangle, however,
