Soil–Plant-Atmosphere Interaction (SPAI) is an essential factor in slope behaviour, affecting water inflow and outflow, and thereby influencing Pore Water Pressures (PWP), soil strength and stiffness, and slope stability and serviceability. Due to its complexity, SPAI and its effect on slope behaviour are best described by hydro-mechanically coupled numerical analysis, rendering the boundary conditions (BC) used to replicate a...

Enhanced rock weathering (ERW) is an emerging carbon dioxide removal (CDR) strategy that can support net‐zero emission targets. However, current ERW modelling efforts rely on assumptions that introduce substantial variation in CDR estimates across varying ecosystems and hydroclimatic conditions. They typically ignore or oversimplify plant–soil interactions and high‐frequency hydrological dynamics, obscuring short‐term weatheri...

The ascent of water from the soil to the leaves of vascular plants, described by the study of plant hydraulics, regulates ecosystem responses to environmental forcing and recovery from stress periods. Several approaches to model plant hydraulics have been proposed. In this study, we introduce four different versions of plant hydraulics representations in the terrestrial biosphere model T&C to understand the significance of pla...

Changes in rainfall amounts and patterns have been observed and are expected to continue in the near future with potentially significant ecological and societal consequences. Modelling vegetation responses to changes in rainfall is thus crucial to project water and carbon cycles in the future. In this study, we present the results of a new model‐data intercomparison project, where we tested the ability of 10 terrestrial biosph...
