Studies including Wang's earlier work in Africa have shown that even small changes in soil moisture in drylands could be significant enough to cause large changes in vegetation productivity.
Collectively, these data show general increasing trends in both plant growth and evaporation with recent climate change mainly driven by vegetation greening and rising atmosphere moisture deficits.
This heat map shows the areas of the United States where the soil microbial biomass is susceptible to changes in vegetation cover.
Their results showed that changes in key water - stress variables are strongly modified by vegetation physiological effects in response to increased CO2 at the leaf level, illustrating how deeply the physiological effects due to increasing atmospheric CO2 impact the water cycle.
Agricultural expansion is quickly chewing up native vegetation in the vast wooded savannas of Brazil's Cerrado biome, and a new study shows that those changes in land use are altering the region's water cycle.
Paleoclimate Modelling Intercomparison Project 2 (PMIP - 2) simulations shown in bottom left and right panels do not include the radiative influences of LGM changes in mineral dust or vegetation.
The study shows that below ground conditions need to be considered to understand the distribution of terrestrial vegetation both historically and in the face of future climate change.

The mass balance and d13C balance shows that vegetation as sink is not large enough to absorb all human CO2 if the oceans are a source and ice cores show that CO2 and temperature go to a (surprisingly linear) new equilibrium for every change in temperature level, not a sustained increase or decrease.

«Greening of the Earth and its drivers», published in Nature Climate Change, showed that up to half of the Earth's vegetation - covered land is now «greener» than it was 30 years ago — mostly caused by rising CO2 levels in the atmosphere.
These moist enthalpy - related studies confirm previous results showing that changes in vegetation cover, surface moisture and energy fluxes generally lead to significant climatic changes (e.g. 41 - 43) and responses which can be of a similar magnitude to that projected for future greenhouse gas concentrations (44, 45).
Remote sensing shows the resilience of Sahelian vegetation to drought, with no directional change in either desert transition zone position or vegetation cover (Nicholson et al., 1998).
