Other claims from this paper (8)
- Association GPP increased as soil water content declined from high levels.
- Association GPP declined with lower soil water only below a threshold.
- Association Increasing VPD negatively affected GPP throughout the soil-water range.
- Association Canopy conductance declined as VPD increased regardless of SWC.
- Association Canopy conductance declined with decreasing SWC on drier soils.
- Association Maximum assimilation rate had negative sensitivity to VPD.
- Association Maximum assimilation rate had positive sensitivity to decreasing SWC when SWC was high.
- Method / resource Earth System Models underestimated the negative VPD effect on GPP.
