Future Decline in the Buffering Effect of Canopy Water on Ecosystem Water‐Use Efficiency in Tropical Forests

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Tropical forests are crucial for mitigating climate change through carbon sequestration and maintaining hydro‐ecological balance by regulating vegetation‐climate feedbacks. However, their ecosystem water‐use efficiency (WUE) is anticipated to decline due to intensifying water stresses, including atmospheric aridity and soil drought (SD). While

Dew Characterization and its Ecological Effects on Vegetation: A Review

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Dew is ubiquitous but also the least studied hydrological component in most ecosystems. Dew can serve as a supplementary water source for sustaining plant growth and potentially play an important role in broader ecosystem functions, especially in drylands.

Photosynthetic Recovery Dynamics Reveal Declining Vegetation Functional Resilience in Tropical Ecosystems

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 7, 16 April 2026.
Abstract Ecosystem resilience, the ability to recover from disturbances, is crucial for sustaining ecosystem health and functionality. Traditional greenness‐based resilience measures often overlook early physiological stress. Here, we use solar‐induced chlorophyll fluorescence (SIF), an indicator for photosynthesis, to assess global vegetation ...

Assimilation of solar‐induced fluorescence satellite observations in the European Centre for Medium‐Range Weather Forecasts integrated forecast system

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, Volume 152, Issue 776, April 2026 Part A.
This work demonstrates the potential of the assimilation of satellite solar‐induced fluorescence (SIF) retrievals at eight‐day and 0.1° resolutions in the integrated forecast system (IFS), developed at the European Centre for Medium‐Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF), at global scale, to provide a more realistic representation of the vegetation temporal ...

Uncovering the Key Factors Influencing Phytochemical and Phytopharmacological Properties During Medicinal Plant Processing

eFood, Volume 7, Issue 1, February 2026.
From farm to pharma, this review details the engineering of quality in medicinal plants through a science‐driven approach: it first elucidates how genetic and environmental factors inscribe the plant's phytochemical and phytopharmacological profile before harvest, and then dissects the postharvest techniques and technologies—chemical and thermal pre ...

Reduced Vegetation Uptake During the Extreme 2023 Drought Turns the Amazon Into a Weak Carbon Source

AGU Advances, Volume 7, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract In 2023, the biogeographic Amazon experienced temperature anomalies of 1.5°C above the 1991–2020 average from September to November. These conditions were driven by high sea surface temperature in the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, together with reduced moisture advection from the Atlantic, causing large vapor pressure and water deficits in the ...
