摘要: Plants influence extreme heat events by regulating land-atmosphere water and energy exchanges. The contribution of plants to changes in future extremes will depend on the responses vegetation growth physiology direct indirect effects elevated CO2. Here we use a suite earth system models disentangle radiative versus CO2 wave characteristics. Vegetation quadrupling increase summer occurrence 20 days or more—30–50% response alone—across tropical mid-to-high latitude forests. These increases are caused physiological forcing, which diminishes transpiration its associated cooling effect, reduces clouds precipitation. In contrast recent suggestions, our results indicate CO2-driven enhance frequency intensity most vegetated regions despite transpiration-driven soil moisture savings aboveground biomass from fertilization.
