The global distribution of Earth's critical zone and its controlling factors
Abstract The near‐surface layer of Earth which provides essential elements for supporting life is now recognized as the critical zone (CZ). This study provides the first global assessment of the CZ thickness (CZT) and its controlling factors by combining data sets of climate, vegetation height (VH),...
