AbstractThe vapor pressure deficit reflects the difference between how much moisture the atmosphere could and actually does hold, a factor that fundamentally affects evapotranspiration, ecosystem functioning, and vegetation carbon uptake. Its spatial variability and long-term trends under natural versus human-influenced climate are poorly known despite being essential for predicting future effects on natural ecosystems and human societies such as crop yield, wildfires, and health.

Global climate modelsThis study uses the daily outputs of climate simulations from 12 state-of-the-art GCMs participating in the CMIP6, including: ACCESS-ESM1-5, BCC-CSM2-MR, CanESM5, CESM2, CMCC-ESM2, GFDL-ESM4, IPSL-CM6A-LR, MPI-ESM1-2-HR, NorESM2-MM, UKESM1-0-LL, MRI-ESM2-0 and EC-Earth3 (Supplementary Table 1). The GCMs are selected from different providers/institutes to ensure a relatively fair distribution and representativeness.

CGRAnnual global atmospheric CGR spanning from 1960 to 2018 is obtained from the Greenhouse Gas Marine Boundary Layer Reference of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA/ESRL)50. According to the guideline, the annual CGR in a given year is the difference in CO2 concentration between the end of December and the start of January of that year.
