It has been known for decades that ecosystem processes influence the carbon and water cycle, with impacts on climate change prediction. However, there is increasing evidence that these same ecosystem processes can affect the evolution of the weather from days to weeks. Understanding the impacts on the short-time scale can also inform long-time scale response. Here we look to bring together our understanding of how the land interacts with weather and climate.
