Inferring CO2 fertilization effect
based on global monitoring
land-atmosphere exchange
with a theoretical model.

Environmental Research Letters 15:
084009, doi.org/10.1088/1748-9326/ab79e5.

"This team of 25 researchers ...  "present a new quantification of the CO2 fertilization effect at the ecosystem scale during the past two decades based on eddy-covariance flux measurements across arctic, boreal, temperate, and tropical ecosystems at the global scale."

" ... not only has the planet's vegetative productivity increased since the year 2000 ... its increase has occurred under no additional expense of water, evidenced by the reduction in transpiration and improvement in plant water use efficiency over the corresponding two-decade period."
