Water availability interacts with plant ecophysiologyand controls vegetation functioning. Concurrently, vegetation has direct andindirect effects on energy, water, carbon, and nutrient cycles. To better under-stand and model plant–water interactions, highly interdisciplinary approachesare required. We present an overview of the main processes and relevant inter-actions between water and plants across a range of spatial scales, from the celllevel of leaves, where stomatal controls occur, to drought stress at the level of asingle tree, to the integrating scales of a watershed, region, and the globe.A review of process representations in models at different scales is presented.More specifically, three main model families are identified: (1) models of planthydraulics that mechanistically simulate stomatal controls and/or water transportat the tree level; (2) ecohydrological models that simulate plot- to catchment-scale water, energy, and carbon fluxes; and (3) terrestrial biosphere models thatsimulate carbon, water, and nutrient dynamics at the regional and global scalesand address feedback between Earth’s vegetation and the climate system. Weidentify special features and similarities across the model families. Examplesof where plant–water interactions are especially important and have led to keyscientific findings are also highlighted. Finally, we discuss the various datasources that are currently available to force and validate existing models, and wepresent perspectives on the evolution of the field.","lang":"eng"}],"doi":"10.1002/wat2.1125","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"month":"05","day":"01","volume":3}]
