Overview The right topic for my project.
The authors wrote that this paper would be an introduction of the coupling of carbon and water cycles to people who are not familiar with. Indeed I think they summarized the topics nicely with well-organized structure.

Overview Soil moisture (SM) and vapor pressure deficit (VPD) have been regarded as the major driver of dryness stress on the ecosystem productivity. However, it has been difficult to separate each effect due to the strong coupling between SM and VPD, which resulted in a number of model representation for the dryness stress.

Overview Here the authors confirm land-atmosphere feedbacks using satellite observations and a statistical method. The feedback from the biosphere to the atmosphere explains 30% of variations in precipitation and photosynthetically active radiation (PAR). They employed a multivariate conditional Granger Causality (MVGC) using vector autoregression models (VAR) to decompose two directions in the feedbacks (i.
