New method to model plant behaviour better matches observations

November 28, 2019 Martin De Kauwe (UNSW)

With projected increases in temperature in the future, the amount of water vapour that can be held at saturation increases exponentially. This increased capacity by the atmosphere to hold water (or increased vapour pressure deficit), has important implications […]

Stay or leaf: mulga and river red gum show contrasting response to water availability

March 28, 2018 Rachael Nolan (UTS)

Land-based plants take up CO2 from the atmosphere through the process of photosynthesis. This is called the terrestrial carbon sink, and it’s responsible for slowing the increase of atmospheric CO2. In 2011 there was a large global terrestrial […]

Surface soil moisture: getting the best estimates from models and satellites

October 17, 2016 Chiara Holgate (ANU) and Simon Walker (OzEWEX) Leave a comment

New research shows that satellite and model-based methods to estimate near-surface soil moisture both have their relative strengths and weaknesses – but not always in the ways science has assumed. Soil moisture plays a key role in the hydrological cycle and in governing […]

Environmental water storage, extreme climates and hidden droughts

June 14, 2016 Zunyi Xie (UTS) and Simon Walker (OzEWEX) Leave a comment

Understanding the impacts of extreme climatic events on environmental water storage is crucial knowledge for Australia, the driest inhabited continent on Earth. Recent work by Zunyi Xie and his colleagues found that Australia gained three times more water […]
