• Future global water scarcity partially moderated by vegetation responses to rising CO ₂ (2026) · Hydrology and Earth System Sciences · doi

  Further research is needed to investigate the impact of vegetation responses on water scarcity in different regions and under different climate scenarios. - The development of more comprehensive hydrological models that include vegetation responses to rising CO2 is necessary. - The study's findings should be validated using observational data and other modelling approaches.

• Hydrological Response to Compounding Impacts of Climate Change and Forest Management in the Upper Kings River Basin, CA, USA (2026) · Ecohydrology · cited 3× · doi

  There is a lack of understanding about the compounding effects of climate change and forest management on hydrological responses. - Prior studies have focused on individual effects of climate change or forest management, rather than their combined impacts.
