Climate Change and Terrestrial Water Storage
This week features 21 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.

Fauna is highly abundant and diverse in soils worldwide, but surprisingly little is known about how it affects soil organic matter stabilization. Here, we review how the ecological strategies of a multitude of soil faunal taxa can affect the formation and persistence of labile (particulate organic matter, POM) and stabilized soil organic matter (mineral-associated organic matter, MAOM). We propose three major mechanisms - transformation, translocation, and grazing on microorganisms - by which…

Economic productivity depends on reliable access to electricity, but the extreme shortage events of variable wind-solar systems may be strongly affected by climate change. Here, hourly reanalysis climatological data are leveraged to examine historical trends in defined extreme shortage events worldwide. We find uptrends in extreme shortage events regardless of their frequency, duration, and intensity since 1980. For instance, duration of extreme low-reliability events worldwide has increased …

Loess Plateau (LP) is a typical arid and semi-arid region in China. Similar regions cover ∼41% of the Earth, and its soils are some of the most severely eroded anywhere in the world. It is very important to understand the vegetation change and its ecological threshold under climate change on the LP for the sustainable development in the Yellow River Basin. However, little is known about how vegetation on the LP will respond to climate change and what is the sustainable threshold level of vege…

There is broad concern that the range shifts of global flora and fauna will not keep up with climate change, increasing the likelihood of population declines and extinctions. Many populations of nonnative species already have advantages over native species, including widespread human-aided dispersal and release from natural enemies. But do nonnative species also have an advantage with climate change? Here, we review observed and potential range shifts for native and nonnative species globally…

Climate change (CC) will likely significantly impact the world’s infrastructure significantly. Rising temperatures, increased precipitation, and rising sea levels are all likely to stress critical infrastructures (CI). Rising temperatures can lead to infrastructure damage from extreme heat events. This can cause roads and bridges to buckle or crack, leading to costly repairs and potential traffic disruptions. In addition, heat waves can damage vital electrical infrastructure, leading to wides…

Journal: Science Advances · DOI: 10.1126/sciadv.ado5179 · Citations: 37
Matched topics: earth system model
Surface air temperature (SAT) is a key indicator of climate change. Variations in cloud cover affect SAT by interacting with radiation. During daytime, clouds tend to cool the surface by blocking sunlight, while nighttime clouds warm the surface by trapping longwave radiation. Here, we show that, on the global scale, cloud cover, particularly low-level cloudiness, exhibits diurnally asymmetric trends in a warming climate. Cloud fraction on average decreases more during the day than at night. …

Abstract. Extremely large floods that far exceed previously observed records are often considered virtually “impossible”, yet they are an ever-present threat similar to the sword suspended over the head of Damocles in the classical Greek anecdote. Neglecting such floods may lead to emergency situations where society is unprepared and to disastrous consequences. Four reasons why extremely large floods are often considered next to impossible are explored here, including physical (e.g. climate c…

Rubber-derived chemicals (RDCs) originating from tire and road wear particles are transported into road stormwater runoff, potentially threatening organisms in receiving watersheds. However, there is a lack of knowledge on time variation of novel RDCs in runoff, limiting initial rainwater treatment and subsequent rainwater resource utilization. In this study, we investigated the levels and time-concentration profiles of 35 target RDCs in road stormwater runoff from eight functional areas in t…

Contamination of borehole water by leachates from dumpsites has significantly affected the health of those who use polluted water for domestic activities. This study evaluated the seasonal variations of risks associated with potentially toxic elements in underground water sources near a dumpsite in Awka, Nigeria. The levels of the potentially toxic elements (PTEs) were compared with the World Health Organization (WHO) and Nigerian Standard for Drinking Water Quality (NSDWQ) standard limits. T…

Matched topics: earth system model
Low-Earth-orbit (LEO) satellite mega-constellations are beginning to include laser inter-satellite links (LISLs) to extend the Internet to the most remote locations on Earth. Since the process of establishing these links incurs a setup delay on the order of seconds, a static network topology is generally established well in advance, which is then used for the routing calculations. However, this involves keeping links active even when they are not being used to forward traffic, leading to a po…

Urban Stormwater Phosphorus Export Control: Comparing Traditional and Low-impact Development Best Management Practices
Authors: Bowen Zhou, Chris T. Parsons, Philippe Van Cappellen
Journal: Environmental Science & Technology · DOI: 10.1021/acs.est.4c01705 · Citations: 22
Matched topics: hydrology, runoff, streamflow, land surface model
Data from the International Stormwater Best Management Practices (BMP) Database were used to compare the phosphorus (P) control performance of six categories of stormwater BMPs representing traditional systems (stormwater pond, wetland basin, and detention basin) and low-impact development (LID) systems (bioretention cell, grass swale, and grass strip). Machine learning (ML) models were trained to predict the reduction or enrichment factors of surface runoff concentrations and loadings of tot…
Microplastics in urban stormwater sediments and runoff: An essential component in the microplastic cycle
Authors: Madushika Sewwandi, Abhishek Kumar, Shiran Pallewatta, Meththika Vithanage
Journal: TrAC Trends in Analytical Chemistry · DOI: 10.1016/j.trac.2024.117824 · Citations: 33
Matched topics: runoff
Microplastics in urban stormwater is one of the main sources of microplastics in aquatic systems, however, has rarely been reviewed systematically. Microplastic abundance ranges for microplastics in stormwater and sediment was 0.02-15499 items/L and 106.00-109089 items/kg, respectively. The highest average (7740.45±10901.54 items/L) was obtained for the mean microplastic concentrations found for the stormwater samples collected in Italy. Stormwater sediment samples analyzed in Sao Paulo, Sout…
