Some cereal crops can withstand harsh growing conditions, and, hence, can be considered an important line of defense against food shortage under climate change. Sorghum ( Sorghum bicolor (L.) Monech) is the main food crop for millions of people, especially in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia. This crop performs well under input constraints (e.g., limited water) and exhibits high resilience to adverse climate conditions (e.g., high temperature, drought, and waterlogging), making it a star cro…

Matched topics: climate change

Abstract Compound hot-dry events have the potential to cause significant damages and propel socioeconomic systems towards tipping points by overwhelming the ability of natural and human systems to cope with the combined stressors. As climate change continues to alter hazard patterns, the impacts of these events will be further compounded by changes in exposure and vulnerability. However, the future risk of these events and the role of these components remain poorly understood. Using a multimo…

Abstract. The substantial climate change mitigation potential of restoring peatlands through rewetting and intensifying agriculture to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions is largely recognized. The green deal in Denmark aims at restoring 100 000 ha of peatlands by 2030. This area corresponds to more than half of the Danish peatland, with an expected reduction in GHG emissions of almost half of the entire land use, land use change and forestry (LULUFC) emissions. Recent advances established …

Evapotranspiration regulates energy flux partitioning at the leaf surface, which in turn regulates leaf temperature. However, the mechanistic relationship between evapotranspiration and leaf temperature remains poorly constrained. In this study, we present a novel mechanistic model to predict leaf temperature as a linearized function of the evaporative fraction. The model is validated using measurements from infrared radiometers mounted on two flux towers in Arizona, USA, which measure canopi…

Drought is one of the most pressing abiotic stresses that farmers face, presenting an annual threat to crop growth and yield. Crops have evolved extensive morphological, physiological, and molecular mechanisms to combat drought stress. Drought resistance is a polyge…

ABSTRACT Supernova (SN) explosions have been sought for decades as a possible source of dust in the Universe, providing the seeds of galaxies, stars, and planetary systems. SN 1987A offers one of the most promising examples of significant SN dust formation, but until the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), instruments have traditionally lacked the sensitivity at both late times (>1 yr post-explosion) and longer wavelengths (i.e. >10 μm) to detect analogous dust reservoirs. Here w…

Freshwater connectivity and the associated flow regime are critical components of the health of freshwater ecosystems. When freshwater ecosystems are fragmented, the movements and flows of species, nutrients, sediments, and water are altered, changing the natural dynamics of freshwater ecosystems. The consequences of these changes include declines and loss of freshwater species populations and freshwater ecosystems, and alterations in the delivery of certain ecosystem services, such as fisher…

The exceptional atmospheric conditions that have accelerated Greenland Ice Sheet mass loss in recent decades have been repeatedly recognized as a possible dynamical response to Arctic amplification. Here, we present evidence of two potentially synergistic mechanisms linking high-latitude warming to the observed increase in Greenland blocking. Consistent with a prominent hypothesis associating Arctic amplification and persistent weather extremes, we show that the summer atmospheric circulation…

Effective groundwater management is critical to future environmental, ecological, and social sustainability and requires accurate estimates of groundwater withdrawals. Unfortunately, these estimates are not readily available in most areas due to physical, regulatory, and social challenges. Here, we compare four different approaches for estimating groundwater withdrawals for agricultural irrigation. We apply these methods in a groundwater-irrigated region in the state of Kansas, USA, where hig…

In contrast, the 66% field capacity irrigation treatment consistently had the highest water use efficiency in both years of the study. Furthermore, the study showed that the quality characteristics of the tubers were negatively impacted by full irrigation treatments compared to low irrigation. These findings suggest that with appropriate irrigation and nitrogen application, potatoes…

Authors: R. Greco, P. Marino, T. Bogaard

Journal: WIREs Water · DOI: 10.1002/wat2.1675 · Citations: 48

Matched topics: hydrology, hydrologic model, streamflow

Occurrence of rainfall‐induced landslides is increasing worldwide, owing to land use and climate changes. Although the connection between hydrology and rainfall‐induced landslides might seem obvious, hydrological processes have been only marginally considered in landslide research for decades. In 2016, an advanced review paper published in WIREs Water [Bogaard and Greco (2016), WIREs Water, 3(3), 439–459] pointed out several challenging issues for landslide hydrology research: considering lar…

NH-SWE: Northern Hemisphere Snow Water Equivalent dataset based on in situ snow depth time series

Authors: Adrià Fontrodona‐Bach, Bettina Schaefli, Ross Woods, Adriaan J. Teuling, Joshua Larsen

Journal: Earth system science data · DOI: 10.5194/essd-15-2577-2023 · Citations: 41

Matched topics: hydrologic model, water management

Abstract. Ground-based datasets of observed snow water equivalent (SWE) are scarce, while gridded SWE estimates from remote-sensing and climate reanalysis are unable to resolve the high spatial variability of snow on the ground. Long-term ground observations of snow depth, in combination with models that can accurately convert snow depth to SWE, can fill this observational gap. Here, we provide a new SWE dataset (NH-SWE) that encompasses 11 071 stations in the Northern Hemisphere (NH) and is …


Sanitary installations and wastewater plumbing as reservoir for the long-term circulation and transmission of carbapenemase producing Citrobacter freundii clones in a hospital setting

Authors: Hannelore Hamerlinck, Annelies Aerssens, Jerina Boelens, Andrea Dehaene, Michael McMahon, Anne-Sophie Messiaen et al.

Journal: Antimicrobial Resistance and Infection Control · DOI: 10.1186/s13756-023-01261-9 · Citations: 43

Matched topics: reservoir

BACKGROUND: Accumulating evidence shows a role of the hospital wastewater system in the spread of multidrug-resistant organisms, such as carbapenemase producing Enterobacterales (CPE). Several sequential outbreaks of CPE on the geriatric ward of the Ghent University hospital have led to an outbreak investigation. Focusing on OXA-48 producing Citrobacter freundii, the most prevalent species, we aimed to track clonal relatedness using whole genome sequencing (WGS). By exploring transmission rou…

Impacts of a tailings dam failure on water quality in the Doce river: The largest environmental disaster in Brazil

Authors: Vinícius Tavares Kütter, Gabriel Souza Martins, Nilva Brandini, Renato Campello Cordeiro, João Paulo Andrade Almeida, Eduardo Duarte Marques

Journal: Journal of Trace Elements and Minerals · DOI: 10.1016/j.jtemin.2023.100084 · Citations: 36

Matched topics: river, water management

On November 5, 2015, the Fundão Dam, owned by Samarco Mineração SA, experienced a catastrophic failure, releasing approximately 55 to 62 million m3 of mining ore waste into the Doce River. This event had severe consequences as the Doce River serves as a vital source of water and food for numerous communities. Evaluate the spatiotemporal distribution of water parameters before, during, and after the failure of the Samarco tailings dam, with the goal of support the management and restoration of…


Analysis of Four Decades of Land Use and Land Cover Change in Semiarid Tunisia Using Google Earth Engine

Authors: Nesrine Kadri, Sihem Jebari, Xavier Augusseau, Naceur Mahdhi, Guillaume Lestrelin, Ronny Berndtsson

Journal: Remote Sensing · DOI: 10.3390/rs15133257 · Citations: 35

Matched topics: hydrology, water management

Semiarid Tunisia is characterized by agricultural production that is delimited by water availability and degraded soil. This situation is exacerbated by human pressure and the negative effects of climate change. To improve the knowledge of long-term (1980 to 2020) drivers for Land Use and Land Cover (LULC) changes, we investigated the semiarid Rihana region in central Tunisia. A new approach involving Google Earth Engine (GEE) was used to map LULC using Landsat imagery and vegetative indices …
