A New Wetness Index to Evaluate the Soil Water Availability Influence on Gross Primary Production of European Forests

A New Wetness Index to Evaluate the Soil Water Availability Influence on Gross Primary Production of European Forests

Rising temperature, drought and more-frequent extreme climatic events have been predicted for the next decades in many regions around the globe. In this framework, soil water availability plays a pivotal role in affecting vegetation productivity, especially in arid or semi-arid environments. However...
