Increased atmospheric vapor pressure deficit reduces global vegetation growth. [PDF]

Sci Adv, 2019
Global vegetation greening trend stalled after the late 1990s due to increased atmospheric water demand.

Plant responses to rising vapor pressure deficit [PDF]

New Phytologist, 2020
SummaryRecent decades have been characterized by increasing temperatures worldwide, resulting in an exponential climb in vapor pressure deficit (VPD). VPD has been identified as an increasingly important driver of plant functioning in terrestrial biomes and has been established as a major contributor in recent drought‐induced plant mortality ...

The hysteretic evapotranspiration—Vapor pressure deficit relation [PDF]

Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, 2014
AbstractDiurnal hysteresis between evapotranspiration (ET) and vapor pressure deficit (VPD) was reported in many ecosystems, but justification for its onset and magnitude remains incomplete with biotic and abiotic factors invoked as possible explanations.

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.

Reconstructing vapor pressure deficit from leaf wax lipid molecular distributions. [PDF]

Sci Rep, 2018
AbstractEstimates of atmospheric moisture are critical for understanding the links and feedbacks between atmospheric CO2and global climate. At present, there are few quantitative moisture proxies that are applicable to deep time. We present a new proxy for atmospheric moisture derived from modern climate and leaf biomarker data from North and Central ...

Vapor pressure deficit shapes the distributions of carbon use efficiency across Siberia [PDF]

Carbon Balance and Management
As a key indicator of terrestrial carbon cycle, carbon use efficiency (CUE) represents the efficiency of carbon fixation and carbon allocation strategy, shaping ecosystem function and services.

Mesophyll airspace unsaturation drives C₄ plant success under vapor pressure deficit stress. [PDF]

Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A
A fundamental assumption in plant science posits that leaf air spaces remain vapor saturated, leading to the predominant view that stomata alone control leaf water loss. This concept has been pivotal in photosynthesis and water-use efficiency research.

A Recent Systematic Increase in Vapor Pressure Deficit over Tropical South America. [PDF]

Sci Rep, 2019
AbstractWe show a recent increasing trend in Vapor Pressure Deficit (VPD) over tropical South America in dry months with values well beyond the range of trends due to natural variability of the climate system defined in both the undisturbed Preindustrial climate and the climate over 850–1850 perturbed with natural external forcing.

Temperature-driven vapor pressure deficit structures forest bryophyte communities across the landscape [PDF]

Biogeosciences
Atmospheric vapor pressure deficit (VPD) controls local plant physiology and global vegetation productivity. However, at ecologically crucial intermediate spatial scales, the role of VPD variability in forest bryophyte community assembly and the ...
