Matched topics: flood

Abstract Flash flood risk assessment, a widely applied technology in preventing catastrophic flash flood disasters, has become the current research hotspot. However, most existing machine learning methods for assessing flash flood risk rely on a single classifier, which is suitable for processing small sets of sample data, but the resulting prediction accuracy and generalization ability are insufficient. Meanwhile, machine learning methods that integrate multiple classifiers are thus far unkn…

Abstract Storm surges that occur along low-lying, densely populated coastlines can leave devastating societal, economical, and ecological impacts. To protect coastal communities from flooding, return periods of storm tides, defined as the combination of the surge and tide, must be accurately evaluated. Here we present storm tide return periods using a novel integration of two modelling techniques. For surges induced by extratropical cyclones, we use a 38-year time series based on the ERA5 cli…

Matched topics: hydrologic model, river

River flows are greatly influenced by floodplain vegetation with implications on hydrological and hydraulic conditions from cross-sectional to river reach scales. Flow models need to reliably reflect changes in the riverine environment, such as vegetation growth associated with altered flow regimes, increased sediment loads and eutrophication. Leaf area index (LAI) based approaches are increasingly used as tools to predict the flow resistance caused by natural vegetation. However, current LAI…

JMJ27‐mediated histone H3K9 demethylation positively regulates drought‐stress responses in Arabidopsis

Authors: Qiongli Wang, Peng Liu, Jing Hua, Xiaofeng Zhou, Bo Zhao, Yuan Li et al.

Journal: New Phytologist · DOI: 10.1111/nph.17593 · Citations: 76

Matched topics: drought

Dimethylation of histone H3 at lysine 9 (H3K9me2) is associated with heterochromatinization and transcriptional gene silencing in plants. The activation of sets of genes by drought stress is correlated with reduced H3K9me2 levels, but the role of H3K9 methylation in the regulation of drought-stress responses remains elusive. Here, we show that the Jumonji domain-containing H3K9 demethylase JMJ27 positively regulates drought-stress responses through its histone demethylase activity. RNA-seq an…

Effects of climate change on combined labour productivity and supply: an empirical, multi-model study

Authors: Shouro Dasgupta, Nicole van Maanen, Simon N. Gosling, Franziska Piontek, Christian Otto, Carl‐Friedrich Schleussner

Journal: The Lancet Planetary Health · DOI: 10.1016/s2542-5196(21)00170-4 · Citations: 190

Matched topics: climate change

BACKGROUND: Although effects on labour is one of the most tangible and attributable climate impact, our quantification of these effects is insufficient and based on weak methodologies. Partly, this gap is due to the inability to resolve different impact channels, such as changes in time allocation (labour supply) and slowdown of work (labour productivity). Explicitly resolving those in a multi-model inter-comparison framework can help to improve estimates of the effects of climate change on l…

The impact of high latitude climate warming on Arctic snow cover and its insulating properties has key implications for the surface and soil energy balance. Few studies have investigated specific trends in Arctic snowpack properties because there is a lack of long-term in situ observations and current detailed snow models fail to represent the main traits of Arctic snowpacks. This results in high uncertainty in modeling snow feedbacks on ground thermal regime due to induced changes in snow in…

Abstract One of the frequently adopted hybridizations within the scope of rainfall-runoff modeling rests on directing various outputs simulated from the conceptual rainfall-runoff (CRR) models to machine learning (ML) techniques. In those coupled model exercises, after the parameter calibrations of the CRR models are made, their specific outputs constitute auxiliary inputs for the ML model training. However, in this parallel hybridization comprising two consecutive processes, performing the c…

A heatwave is detected when the daily maximum temperature exceeds the 90th percentile threshold at each grid for at least three consecutive days. Three characteristics describing the frequency, duration, and amplitude of heatwaves are examined, including the sum of heatwa…

Matched topics: land surface model

In the era of the devastating impacts of climate change, many cities around the world make strenuous efforts to find suitable and sustainable adaptation strategies to address the climatic dangers. In the past decades, Baghdad city witnessed an increase in the intensity of surface urban heat island (SUHI) as a result of the change in land cover and population density. By reviewing the related literature, it was found that many studies discussed SUHI intensity and causes, yet there is limited k…


Seasonal changes in GPP/SIF ratios and their climatic determinants across the Northern Hemisphere

Authors: Anping Chen, Jiafu Mao, Daniel Ricciuto, Dan Lu, Jingfeng Xiao, Xing Li et al.

Matched topics: seasonal

Satellite-derived sun-induced chlorophyll fluorescence (SIF) has been increasingly used for estimating gross primary production (GPP). However, the relationship between SIF and GPP has not been well defined, impeding the translation of satellite observed SIF to GPP. Previous studies have generally assumed a linear relationship between SIF and GPP at daily and longer time scales, but support for this assumption is lacking. Here, we used the GPP/SIF ratio to investigate seasonal variations in t…


Agroforestry-Based Ecosystem Services: Reconciling Values of Humans and Nature in Sustainable Development

Authors: Meine van Noordwijk

Journal: Land · DOI: 10.3390/land10070699 · Citations: 84

Matched topics: hydrology

Agroforestry as active area of multi-, inter-, and transdisciplinary research aims to bridge several artificial divides that have respectable historical roots but hinder progress toward sustainable development goals. These include: (1) The segregation of “forestry trees” and “agricultural crops”, ignoring the continuity in functional properties and functions; the farm-scale “Agroforestry-1” concept seeks to reconnect perennial and annual, woody and nonwoody plants across the forest–agricultur…

The Drying Regimes of Non‐Perennial Rivers and Streams

Authors: Adam N. Price, C. Nathan Jones, John C. Hammond, Margaret Zimmer, Samuel C. Zipper

Journal: Geophysical Research Letters · DOI: 10.1029/2021gl093298 · Citations: 75

Matched topics: river, streamflow

Abstract The flow regime paradigm is central to the aquatic sciences, where flow drives critical functions in lotic systems. Non‐perennial streams comprise the majority of global river length, thus we extended this paradigm to stream drying. Using 894 USGS gages, we isolated 25,207 drying events from 1979 to 2018, represented by a streamflow peak followed by no flow. We calculated hydrologic signatures for each drying event and using multivariate statistics, grouped events into drying regimes…


Global Cooling Hiatus Driven by an AMOC Overshoot in a Carbon Dioxide Removal Scenario

Authors: Soon‐Il An, Jongsoo Shin, Sang‐Wook Yeh, Seok‐Woo Son, Jong‐Seong Kug, Seung‐Ki Min et al.

Journal: Earth s Future · DOI: 10.1029/2021ef002165 · Citations: 73

Matched topics: earth system model

Abstract The reversibility of global mean surface temperature was examined by a transient CO 2 reversibility experiment using an Earth system model. The results showed that after CO 2 ramp‐up toward CO 2 quadrupling and ramp‐down returned to the present‐day level, the global mean surface temperature kept decreasing but stopped to change for ∼40 years in the early net‐zero CO 2 emission period. This period, referred to a cooling hiatus, resulted from a compensation between Southern Hemisphere …

Groundwater quality, health risk, and major influencing factors in the lower Beiluo River watershed of northwest China

Authors: Yanlin Li, Peiyue Li, Xinghan Cui, Song He

Journal: Human and Ecological Risk Assessment An International Journal · DOI: 10.1080/10807039.2021.1940834 · Citations: 67

Matched topics: river

Groundwater is the major water source for irrigation and domestic purposes in and around Beiluo River watershed, Guanzhong Basin of northwestern China. To provide a scientific basis for sustainable groundwater development, 25 groundwater samples in the lower Beiluo River watershed were collected and analyzed. The overall groundwater quality was assessed through entropy-weighted water quality index (EWQI) and US Salinity Laboratory (USSL) diagrams. The non-carcinogenic human health risks cause…
