- Reposted by Weiwei ZhanJust published this new paper, with a bunch of fantastic colleagues, with many suggestions for "Improving the representation of plant water stress and water use in Earth System Models." Access is free online. We have some great figures, thanks to Victor Leshyk. 🧪🌐🌳🌎

- What a wonderful surprise to see our work reflected in a commentary that so clearly "gets it". Thank you so much @juergenknauer.bsky.social !

- Reposted by Weiwei ZhanDelighted to share our new paper "Reduced water loss rather than increased photosynthesis controls CO2-enhanced water-use efficiency: www.nature.com/articles/s41... , which demonstrates the strongly detectable impact of CO2 fertilization on canopy and stomata conductance,
- Interested in how plant intrinsic water-use efficiency (iWUE) responds to rising CO2? Our new paper shows that CO2-enhanced iWUE is mainly driven by reduced canopy conductance, while stimulation of ecosystem photosynthesis is less detectable given current data length. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
- Also excited to see our work accompanied by a View & Commentary by Dr. Jürgen Knauer. We sincerely appreciate the thoughtful perspective! www.nature.com/articles/s41...
- Huge thanks to my amazing co-authors: @jiangong-liu.bsky.social @chunhuizhan.bsky.social @abcube.bsky.social @pierregentine.bsky.social , and to others not on Bluesky!
- Also deeply grateful to those acknowledged in the paper for insightful feedback and support: @jianingfang.bsky.social @wu-sun.bsky.social @dukesjeff.bsky.social @annamichalak.bsky.social and others not on Bluesky!
- Reposted by Weiwei ZhanThis species-specific study and another latest out global analyses www.nature.com/articles/s41... converge to the same conclusion: enhanced tree/forest growth by the global warming cannot offset the negative impacts causes by disturbances, such as droughts.

- Reposted by Weiwei ZhanOur new paper is out on Nature Plants! We found that soil moisture contributes more to ecosystem photosynthesis than VPD for the water-limited periods and water-limited locations, using causality-guided explainable AI. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
- Reposted by Weiwei ZhanExcited to share our new paper "When and where soil dryness matters to ecosystem photosynthesis" www.nature.com/articles/s41..., which resolves a long-standing debate as to whether soil moisture or atmospheric dryness dominates water stress response.

- Reposted by Weiwei ZhanExcited to share our new Nature Geoscience paper on how persistent Rossby waves patterns are triggering simultaneous hot-dry extremes across western Europe, Asia, and the U.S., severely reducing vegetation productivity and carbon uptake. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
