abstract = {The year 2018 was characterized by less precipitation,
higher potential evapotranspiration, and a larger sum of
growing degree days than usual over large regions of Europe.
This provides an opportunity to study the feedbacks to
expect more frequently under a changing future climate from
a landscape originally equilibrated to cooler and wetter
conditions. We here focus on feedbacks related to ecosystem
services such as atmospheric heating or cooling, CO2 uptake,
and freshwater production. The network of eddy-covariance
stations promoted by initiatives like ICOS (www.icos-re.eu)
and TERENO (www.tereno.net) is now dense enough to compare
these feedbacks between 2018 and previous years. The network
spans different locations in Europe that are affected by
varying drought intensities and have different land uses
such as forest, grassland, crop and wetland. Analysis of
these data shows that the sensible heat flux (heating of the
atmosphere by the surface) was consistently and considerably
larger than usual across the drought-affected sites. Net
ecosystem productivity (CO2 uptake) was considerably reduced
on average, but not consistently across all drought-affected
sites, and latent heat flux (evapotranspiration) was reduced
only slightly on average, with a large variability of both
positive and negative changes depending on site. Typical
factors enhancing the preservation or even increase of
evapotranspiration and productivity, included a usually cool
and wet climate, a large reservoir of stored soil or surface
water, and perennial vegetation. In contrast, water-limited
sites or sites characterized by early harvest of crops in
2018 and a bare soil afterwards, tended to show strong
reductions in evapotranspiration and productivity. Despite
the opposing changes in absolute evapotranspiration, the
fraction of precipitation used for evapotranspiration
increased clearly across drought-affected sites. Based on
these findings and evidence from cropped sites with and
without the application of catch crops after harvest, we
discuss the potential of land management to modulate
ecosystem service responses to increased temperatures and
drought and the resulting trade-offs: Maintaining an active
plant canopy and thus evapotranspiration mitigates
atmospheric warming both locally through smaller sensible
heat fluxes and globally through preservation of CO2 uptake.
However, this comes at the cost of reduced groundwater
recharge and surface water discharge.},
