      Denissen, Jasper M.C.ORCIDiD; Teuling, Adriaan J.ORCIDiD; Reichstein, MarkusORCIDiD; Orth, RenéORCIDiD (Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, 2020)
      Evapotranspiration (ET) is a crucial quantity through which land surface conditions can impact near-surface weather and vice versa. ET can be limited by energy or water availability. The transition between water- and ...
    • Revisiting Global Vegetation Controls Using Multi‐Layer Soil Moisture 

      Li, WantongORCIDiD; Migliavacca, MircoORCIDiD; Forkel, MatthiasORCIDiD; Walther, SophiaORCIDiD; Reichstein, MarkusORCIDiD; Orth, RenéORCIDiD (Geophysical Research Letters, 2021-06-07)
      The productivity of terrestrial vegetation is determined by multiple land surface and atmospheric drivers. Water availability is critical for vegetation productivity, but the role of vertical variability of soil moisture ...
