Climate Change and Terrestrial Water Storage

This week features 26 papers examining the intersection of climate change and terrestrial water dynamics. Studies investigate water storage changes, drought mechanisms and projections, vegetation-water interactions, and Earth system model uncertainties. Key contributions address large-scale water storage trends, land-atmosphere coupling effects on drought onset, and methods for characterizing future drought under climate change scenarios.

The direct drivers of recent global anthropogenic biodiversity loss

Effective policies to halt biodiversity loss require knowing which anthropogenic drivers are the most important direct causes. Whereas previous knowledge has been limited in scope and rigor, here we statistically synthesize empirical comparisons of recent driver impacts found through a wide-ranging review. We show that land/sea use change has been the dominant direct driver of recent biodiversity loss worldwide. Direct exploitation of natural resources ranks second and pollution third; climat…

Cover crops are gaining traction in many agricultural regions, partly driven by increased public subsidies and by private markets for ecosystem services. These payments are motivated by environmental benefits, including improved soil health, reduced erosion, and increased soil organic carbon. However, previous work based on experimental plots or crop modeling indicates cover crops may reduce crop yields. It remains unclear, though, how recent cover crop adoption has affected productivity in c…

C ages has enabled robust assessments of the largest dataset yet collated from island contexts. This analysis has been made possible by the recent development of a temporal marine correction for southern Pacific waters, and our findings show the shortcomings of previous models. We demonstrate that human settlement in the mid to late 13th century AD is unambiguous. We highlight initial (AD 1250 to 1275) settlement in the North Island. The South Island was reached a decade later (AD 1280 to 129…

Matched topics: seasonal

The physiological challenges posed by climate change for seasonal, perennial plants include increased risk of heat waves, post-budbreak freezing (“false springs”), and droughts. Though considerable physiological work has shown that the traits conferring tolerance to these stressors - thermotolerance, cold hardiness, and water deficit stress, respectively - are not static in time, they are frequently treated as such.

Harvesting water energy in various forms of water motion, such as evaporation, raindrops, river flows, ocean waves, and other, is promising to relieve the global energy crisis and reach the aim of carbon neutrality. However, this highly decentralized and distributed water energy poses a challenge on conventional electromagnetic hydropower technologies that feature centralization and scalization. Recently, this problem has been gradually addressed by the emergence of a myriad of electricity ge…

Abstract. Climate model output emulation has long been attempted to support impact research, mainly to fill in gaps in the scenario space. Given the computational cost of running coupled earth system models (ESMs), which are usually the domain of supercomputers and require on the order of days to weeks to complete a century-long simulation, only a handful of different scenarios are usually chosen to externally force ESM simulations. An effective emulator, able to run on standard computers in …

Among all hydrogeological systems, karst aquifers are important because of their exceptionally rich and unique biodiversity, biomass, and groundwater resources. At the same time, they are characterized by specific h…

N-(1,3-Dimethylbutyl)-N′-phenyl-p-phenylenediamine-quinone, also known as 6PPD-quinone (6PPD-Q), was recently identified as the toxic chemical that causes acute mortality in coho salmon following exposure to urban road runoff. Subsequent studies found that there were large differences in sensitivity to 6PPD-Q (>100-fold) even among salmonid species. Here we performed 96 h acute toxicity tests of 6PPD-Q with three salmonid species (Salvelinus leucomaenis pluvius, Salvelinus curilus, and Oncorh…

Response of Erosive Precipitation to Vegetation Restoration and Its Effect on Soil and Water Conservation Over China’s Loess Plateau

Authors: Baoqing Zhang, Lei Tian, Chansheng He, Xiaogang He

Journal: Water Resources Research · DOI: 10.1029/2022wr033382 · Citations: 65

Matched topics: hydrology, streamflow, land surface model

Abstract Large‐scale vegetation restoration profoundly affects ecohydrological and hydrometeorological processes with consequent effects on soil and water conservation. However, it is still unclear how revegetation affects the joint relationship between streamflow and sediment yield from the land‐atmosphere interactions perspective. In this study, we combine in situ hydro‐meteorological observations, satellite observed land surface characteristics, and coupled land‐atmosphere model simulation…


Microplastic pollution in small rivers along rural–urban gradients: Variations across catchments and between water column and sediments

). A longitudinal gradient with increasing particle concentration was observed in both water and sediment samples and in both catchments. Polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) particles dominated in all samples. Fibres were predominant in the water column samples, while fragments were more common in the sediment samples. MP particles were mostly coloured, and most of them were smaller than 2 mm in both water and sediment samples. The critical evaluation of the results and previous studies …

River Deltas and Sea-Level Rise

Authors: Jaap H. Nienhuis, W. Kim, Glenn A. Milne, Melinda Quock, Aimée B. A. Slangen, Torbjörn E. Törnqvist

Matched topics: river, land surface model

Future sea-level rise poses an existential threat for many river deltas, yet quantifying the effect of sea-level changes on these coastal landforms remains a challenge. Sea-level changes have been slow compared to other coastal processes during the instrumental record, such that our knowledge comes primarily from models, experiments, and the geologic record. Here we review the current state of science on river delta response to sea-level change, including models and observations from the Holo…


Evaluating Root-Zone Soil Moisture Products from GLEAM, GLDAS, and ERA5 Based on In Situ Observations and Triple Collocation Method over the Tibetan Plateau

Authors: Siqi Yang, Jiangyuan Zeng, Wenjie Fan, Yaokui Cui

Journal: Journal of Hydrometeorology · DOI: 10.1175/jhm-d-22-0016.1 · Citations: 57

Matched topics: hydrologic model, land surface model

Abstract Root-zone soil moisture (RZSM) is an important variable in land–atmosphere interactions, notably affecting the global climate system. Contrary to satellite-based acquisition of surface soil moisture, RZSM is generally obtained from model-based simulations. In this study, in situ observations from the Naqu and Pali networks that represent different climatic conditions over the Tibetan Plateau (TP) and a triple collocation (TC) method are used to evaluate model-based RZSM products, inc…

Microplastic dynamics in a free water surface constructed wetland

Authors: Franciszek Bydałek, Daniel Ifayemi, Liam J. Reynolds, Ruth Barden, Barbara Kasprzyk‐Hordern, Jannis Wenk

. Data and microscopic analysis indicate MPs erosion and fragmentation in the CW. Turbidity and suspended solids were no indicator for MP removal due to water fowl activity, algal growth, and preferential flow conditions. This is the first study on MP dynamics in an independently operating full scale free water surface CW incorporated into a municipal wastewater treatment scheme. Surface flow CWs can retain MPs effectively but accumulation in CW sediments and substrate needs to be considered …


Comparative Assessment of Microplastics in Surface Waters and Sediments of the Vaal River, South Africa: Abundance, Composition, and Sources

particles/kg dry weight were recorded for water and sediment samples, respectively. In both sediment and water samples, more than 80% of microplastics were fragments and fibers of smaller than 2 mm. High-density polyethylene, low-density polyethylene, and polypropylene were the dominant polymers identified in both sample types. In addition, polyethylene co-vinyl acetate, polyester, polyurethane, and polyethylene/hexene-1-copolymer were also detected in sediment samples. Colored microplastics …
