Jordi Vila and colleagues just published an article in Geophysical Research Letters on interactions between plant evapotranspiration, controlled by photosynthesis, and moist thermals responsible for the formation of shallow cumulus clouds. "As far as we know, this is the first time that we have explicit simulations of fair weather clouds coupled to a dynamic vegetation model," Jordi says.
