Thermodynamic warming promotes drying by increasing atmospheric water-holding capacity, evaporative demand, and VPD.

Evidence (1)

European summer drying largely driven by atmospheric circulation changes since the 1980s — Problem framing: uncertain dynamic and thermodynamic drivers of European summer drying

Thermodynamic warming contributes to drying primarily by enhancing atmospheric evaporative demand
