The increasing prevalence of drought events in grasslands and shrublands worldwide potentially has impacts on soil organic carbon (SOC). We leveraged the International Drought Experiment to study how SOC, including particulate organic carbon (POC) and mineral-associated organic carbon (MAOC) concentrations, responds to extreme drought treatments (1-in-100-year) for 1 to 5 years at 19 sites worldwide. In more mesic areas (aridity index > 0.65), SOC and POC concentrations decreased by 7.9% (±3….

Climate change and inequality are critical and interrelated issues. Despite growing empirical evidence on the distributional implications of climate policies and climate risks, mainstream model-based assessments are often silent on the interplay between climate change and economic inequality. Here we fill this gap through an ensemble of eight large-scale integrated assessment models that belong to different economic paradigms and feature income heterogeneity. We quantify the distributional im…

Climate change driven effects on transport, fate and biogeochemistry of trace element contaminants in coastal marine ecosystems

Authors: Rebecca Zitoun, Saša Marcinek, Vanessa Hatje, Sylvia G. Sander, Christoph Völker, M.M. Sarin et al.

Journal: Communications Earth & Environment · DOI: 10.1038/s43247-024-01679-y · Citations: 71

Matched topics: runoff, streamflow, climate change

Human activities and climate change substantially threaten coastal areas, impacting ecosystem functions, services, and human-wellbeing. Trace elements, from both natural and anthropogenic sources, can contaminate coastal regions, and at high concentrations may become toxic to marine biota. Climate change is likely to affect the sources, sinks and cycling of trace elements in coastal systems: for example, riverine runoff is set to increase as precipitation in the Arctic intensifies, and more f…

Abstract Effective River system management is essential for conserving water resources, improving agricultural productivity, and sustaining ecological health. Remote sensing is crucial for evaluating and tracking several elements of river systems. The study explores the incorporation of remote sensing into Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) to acquire a thorough comprehension of river dynamics and accurately record minor fluctuations in river conditions. The…

• Investigation of heavy metal(loid)s in YRB agricultural soils (2000–2023) finished. • Hg and Cd are main contributors to pollution and ecological risk. • Traffic and industrial emissions are identified as major pollution sources. • Source-specific health risks were quantified using PMF model and MCS. • Priority control recommended for industrial sources and As contamination. Heavy metal(loid)s (HMs) contamination in farmland soils, an environmental issue of global concern, has undergone ext…

Uncovering the Dynamic Drivers of Floods Through Interpretable Deep Learning

Authors: Yuanhao Xu, Kairong Lin, Caihong Hu, Xiaohong Chen, Jingwen Zhang, Mingzhong Xiao et al.

Journal: Earth s Future · DOI: 10.1029/2024ef004751 · Citations: 20

Matched topics: hydrologic model, streamflow, flood

Abstract The formation of floods, as a complex physical process, exhibits dynamic changes in its driving factors over time and space under climate change. Due to the black‐box nature of deep learning, its use alone does not enhance understanding of hydrological processes. The challenge lies in employing deep learning to uncover new knowledge on flood formation mechanism. This study proposes an interpretable framework for deep learning flood modeling that employs interpretability techniques to…

Coastal cities, as centres of human habitation, economic activity and biodiversity, are confronting the ever-escalating challenges posed by climate change. In this work, a novel Multi-Hazard Risk Assessment framework is presented with the focus on Coastal City Living Labs. The methodology provides a comprehensive assessment of climate-related hazards, including sea-level rise, coastal flooding, coastal erosion, land flooding, heavy precipitation, extreme temperatures, heatwaves, cold spells, …

Matched topics: runoff

The mechanism by which an organism can adapt to subtle environmental changes is predicated on modifications to biochemical processes within the cellular metabolism in response to such changes. Changes in these processes have the potential to induce alterations in cellular structures and tissue organization, as well as establish a causal link between fluctuations in these parameters and stressors exposure. This investigation’s main goal and innovation is to evaluate the environmental stress in…

• Snowmelt-Runoff Model (SRM) indicated significant increases in annual and seasonal runoff. • RCP4.5 scenario shows stronger seasonal runoff increases compared to RCP8.5, suggesting potential loss of snow and glaciers due to early warming. • Future hydropower capacity projected to increase by 93 % to 167 % under RCP4.5 and RCP8.5 scenarios, respectively. • Construction of multipurpose dams are crucial to mitigate peak flow risks and ensure resilient EWF resources. Pakistan’s hydropower secto…

Quantifying the Role of Calibration Strategies on Surface‐Subsurface Hydrologic Model Performance

Authors: S. Abbas, Ryan T. Bailey, Jeremy T. White, Jeffrey G. Arnold, Michael J. White

Journal: Hydrological Processes · DOI: 10.1002/hyp.15298 · Citations: 10

Matched topics: hydrologic model, streamflow, land surface model

Distributed, coupled surface‐groundwater hydrologic models are high‐dimensional, given the necessity to reflect the spatially diverse nature of complex hydrologic processes. Furthermore, inverse/inference problems involving these high‐dimensional models are naturally ill‐posed, given the limited information content of state observations that are typically assimilated. Many inversion/inference algorithms do not cope well with high dimensionality, leaving the practitioner to make subjective cho…
