Implementing a Plant Hydraulics Parameterization in the Canadian Land Surface Scheme Including Biogeochemical Cycles (CLASSIC) v.1.4

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, Volume 18, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Drought conditions cause stress to terrestrial ecosystems and make their accurate representation in models challenging. The Canadian LAnd Surface Scheme Including biogeochemical Cycles (CLASSIC) employs an empirical approach to link soil moisture stress with stomatal conductance. Such approaches typically perform poorly during drought.

Climate‐Driven Hydraulic Traits Shift in Natural and Planted Forests: Patterns, Drivers, and Future Acclimation

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Plants modify their functional traits in response to changing environmental conditions under climate change. However, it remains unclear whether tree planting alters patterns and acclimation of hydraulic traits across spatial scales. Here, we compiled a site‐level data set of hydraulic traits in natural (NF) and planted forests (PF) to examine

Temperature Is Likely an Important Omission in Interpreting Vegetation Optical Depth

Geophysical Research Letters
Vegetation optical depth (VOD) satellite microwave retrievals provide significant insights into vegetation water content and responses to hydroclimatic changes. While VOD variations are commonly linked to dry biomass and live fuel moisture content (LFMC),

A Century of Drought Research (1900–2023): Scientific Developments, Methodological Innovations, and Emerging Frontiers

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Drought significantly affects water resources, agriculture, energy, and ecosystems, revealing enduring socio‐economic vulnerabilities over the centuries. This review synthesizes a century of development and recent advances in drought research (1900–2023), drawing on a bibliometric analysis of over 152,000 peer‐reviewed publications. The review

Precipitation and temperature drive woody vegetation dynamics in the grasslands of sub‐Saharan Africa

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, Volume 11, Issue 6, Page 740-754, December 2025.
Identifying the drivers of ecosystem dynamics, and their spatiotemporal variation, is critical in the face of global change. Sub‐Saharan African grasslands support biodiversity, carbon storage, and livelihoods, yet the drivers of change remain poorly understood.
