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 ...

Disentangling the effects of vapor pressure deficit on northern terrestrial vegetation productivity. [PDF]
Sci Adv, 2023 The impact of atmospheric vapor pressure deficit (VPD) on plant photosynthesis has long been acknowledged, but large interactions with air temperature (T) and soil moisture (SM) still hinder a complete understanding of the influence of VPD on vegetation production across various climate zones.

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.

Photosynthetic response of umbu trees to vapor pressure deficit
Pesquisa Agropecuária Brasileira, 2022 The objective of this work was to evaluate the photosynthetic response to vapor pressure deficit (VPD) in umbu (Spondias tuberosa) tree accessions. The experiment was carried out in a completely randomized design in a 5×7×2 factorial arrangement (five ...

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

The genetic basis of transpiration sensitivity to vapor pressure deficit in wheat. [PDF]
Physiol Plant, 2022 AbstractGenetic manipulation of whole‐plant transpiration rate (TR) response to increasing atmospheric vapor pressure deficit (VPD) is a promising approach for crop adaptation to various drought regimes under current and future climates. Genotypes with a non‐linear TR response to VPD are expected to achieve yield gains under terminal drought, thanks to
