When Does Vapor Pressure Deficit Drive or Reduce Evapotranspiration? [PDF]
Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, 2019 Increasing vapor pressure deficit (VPD) increases atmospheric demand for water. While increased evapotranspiration (ET) in response to increased atmospheric demand seems intuitive, plants are capable of reducing ET in response to increased VPD by closing

Drought-Induced Responses in Maize under Different Vapor Pressure Deficit Conditions [PDF]
Plants, 2022 Water stress in plants depends on the soil water level and the evaporative demand. In this study, the physiological, biochemical, and molecular response of maize were examined under three evaporative demand conditions (low—1.00 kPa, medium—2.2 kPa, and ...

Drastic increase in the magnitude of very rare summer-mean vapor pressure deficit extremes [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsSummers with extremely high vapor pressure deficit contribute to crop losses, ecosystem damages, and wildfires. Here, we identify very rare summer vapor pressure deficit extremes globally in reanalysis data and climate model simulations, and quantify the

Warming-induced vapor pressure deficit suppression of vegetation growth diminished in northern peatlands [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2023 Recent studies have reported worldwide vegetation suppression in response to increasing atmospheric vapor pressure deficit (VPD). Here, we integrate multisource datasets to show that increasing VPD caused by warming alone does not suppress vegetation ...

Projected U.S. drought extremes through the twenty-first century with vapor pressure deficit [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2022 Global warming is expected to enhance drought extremes in the United States throughout the twenty-first century. Projecting these changes can be complex in regions with large variability in atmospheric and soil moisture on small spatial scales.

A high resolution, gridded product for vapor pressure deficit using Daymet [PDF]
Scientific DataVapor pressure deficit (VPD) is a critical variable in assessing drought conditions and evaluating plant water stress. Gridded products of global and regional VPD are not freely available from satellite remote sensing, model reanalysis, or ground ...

Vapor-pressure-deficit-controlled temperature response of photosynthesis in tropical trees [PDF]
PhotosyntheticaRising temperatures can affect stomatal and nonstomatal control over photosynthesis, through stomatal closure in response to increasing vapor pressure deficit (VPD), and biochemical limitations, respectively.
