Local precipitation increases would also lead to increased growth, as would the greater water use efficiency. (realclimate.org)
Model - average mean local precipitation responses also roughly scale with the global mean temperature response across the emissions scenarios, though not as well as for temperature. (ipcc.ch)
During big storms, water vapor containing the heavy isotope oxygen 18 condenses and falls first, rendering local precipitation deficient in that isotope for up to several weeks. (scientificamerican.com)
