They claimed a decline in relative humidity has caused the the Earth is cease "greening." But if that is so, then how do you explain the accelerating rate of uptake of CO2 by terrestrial plants, reported by Keenan et al?

Most plants get their water from the soil, not air. Lower humidity is associated w/ slower plant growth because it's also correlated w/ soil moisture levels, & because lower plant growth rates reduce transpiration, thus reducing humidity.

So when CO2 levels are rising you can get reduced transpiration & thus reduced humidity without slowed plant growth.

They report that the global increase in transpiration due to increased foliage has been offset by a decrease in transpiration due to improved water use efficiency, resulting in almost no change in net transpiration.
