  text: Quantification of the impact of environmental stress on terrestrial vegetation
    photosynthesis is crucial for our understanding of the global carbon cycle, particularly
    under a changing climate. Vegetation responses to environmental stress manifest
    first as plant physiological changes, and at later stages through changes in canopy
    structure. Here we leverage CO2 and water flux data from 103 eddy covariance towers
    and satellite thermal images to assess whether current satellite reconstructions
    of solar-induced chlorophyll fluorescence capture these plant mechanisms. After
    removing seasonality using standardized anomalies (z-scores), we found that the
    relationship between tower-observed gross primary productivity and fluorescence
    reconstructions considerably weakened across a wide range of biomes. This loss
    of correlation results from a decoupling between stomatal responses and the physiological
    emission yield (ΦF) of fluorescence reconstructions during soil and atmospheric
    dry periods. The consequence is that productivity derived from fluorescence reconstructions
    will be progressively overestimated as dry conditions persist.
