Climate change increases fire-favorable weather in forests, but fire trends are also affected by multiple other controlling factors that are difficult to untangle. We use machine learning to systematically group forest ecoregions into 12 global forest pyromes, with each showing distinct sensitivities to climatic, human, and vegetation controls. This delineation revealed that rapidly increasing forest fire emissions in extratropical pyromes, linked to climate change, offset declining emissions…
The global distribution and drivers of wood density and their impact on forest carbon stocks

Matched topics: land surface model
The density of wood is a key indicator of the carbon investment strategies of trees, impacting productivity and carbon storage. Despite its importance, the global variation in wood density and its environmental controls remain poorly understood, preventing accurate predictions of global forest carbon stocks. Here we analyse information from 1.1 million forest inventory plots alongside wood density data from 10,703 tree species to create a spatially explicit understanding of the global wood de…
Exploring a GIS-based analytic hierarchy process for spatial flood risk assessment in Egypt: a case study of the Damietta branch
Authors: M. Zhran, K. Ghanem, Aqil Tariq, Fahad Alshehri, S. Jin, Jayanta Das et al.
Journal: Environmental Sciences Europe · DOI: 10.1186/s12302-024-01001-9 · Citations: 55
Matched topics: flood
Floods are the most common and costly disasters worldwide, while spatial flood risk assessment is still challenging due to fewer observations and method limitations. In this study, the flood risk zonation in the Nile districts of the Damietta branch, Egypt, is delineated and assessed by integrating remote sensing with a geographic information system, and an analytical hierarchy process (AHP). Twelve thematic layers (elevation, slope, normalized difference vegetation index, topographic wetness…
Root zone in the Earth system

Matched topics: hydrology, streamflow, land surface model, earth system model
Abstract. The root zone is a vital part of the Earth system and a key element in hydrology, ecology, agronomy, and land surface processes. However, its definition varies across disciplines, creating barriers to interdisciplinary understanding. Moreover, characterizing the root zone is challenging due to a lack of consensus on definitions, estimation methods, and their merits and limitations. This opinion paper provides a holistic definition of the root zone from a hydrology perspective, inclu…
All‐Polymer Organic Electrochemical Synaptic Transistor With Controlled Ionic Dynamics for High‐Performance Wearable and Sustainable Reservoir Computing
Authors: Yifei He, Zhaolin Ge, Zhiyang Li, Zhaoxian Li, Riping Liu, Limei Zhang et al.
Journal: Advanced Functional Materials · DOI: 10.1002/adfm.202415595 · Citations: 46
Matched topics: reservoir
Wearable near/in‐sensor neuromorphic computing is driving next‐generation human‐artificial intelligence (AI) interface, the Internet of Things, and intelligent robots, with reservoir computing (RC) playing a pivotal role in advancing AI hardware, yet its potential remains underexplored. Herein, an all‐polymer accumulation‐mode organic electrochemical synaptic transistor (OEST) is demonstrated with controlled ionic dynamics that can facilitate high‐performance wearable RC while allowing entire…
Understanding the implications of climate change for Australia’s surface water resources: Challenges and future directions
Authors: Conrad Wasko, Clare Stephens, Tim Peterson, Rory Nathan, Acacia Pepler, Suresh Hettiarachchi et al.
Journal: Journal of Hydrology · DOI: 10.1016/j.jhydrol.2024.132221 · Citations: 20
Matched topics: hydrology, hydrologic model, runoff, streamflow, climate change, surface water
• Climate change is affecting Australia’s hydrology and water resources. • Observed changes are complex with the drivers difficult to attribute. • Some changes expected in the future are unprecedented. • Models and approaches used to support decision-making need flexibility. • A process-based understanding is required to project climate change impacts. Climate change is altering Australia’s streamflow and water resources due to a complex interplay of shifts in temperature, rainfall, evaporati…

Collaborative models and uncertain water quality in payments for watershed services: China’s Jiuzhou River eco-compensation
Authors: Jichuan Sheng, Hongqiang Yang
Journal: Ecosystem Services · DOI: 10.1016/j.ecoser.2024.101671 · Citations: 28
Matched topics: river
• The relationship between PWS and water quality uncertainty is examined. • A stochastic differential game model of PWS is builded to examine this relationship. • Collaborative eco-compensation model in the PWS can achieve social optimality. • The collaborative eco-compensation is riskier than the horizontal eco-compensation. • Designing incentive-compatible PWS schemes remains challenging. As Payments for Watershed Services (PWS) schemes are widely implemented around the world, determining d…
Assessing the Impact of Urbanization and Climate Change on Hydrological Processes in a Suburban Catchment
Authors: Sharon Bih Kimbi, Shin‐ichi Onodera, Kunyang Wang, Ichirow Kaihotsu, Yuta Shimizu
Journal: Environments · DOI: 10.3390/environments11100225 · Citations: 13
Matched topics: hydrology, runoff, streamflow, climate change
Global urbanization, population growth, and climate change have considerably impacted water resources, making sustainable water resource management (WRM) essential. Understanding the changes in hydrological components is important for effective WRM, particularly in cities such as Higashi-Hiroshima, which is known for its saké brewing industry. This study used the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) with Hydrological Response Units (HRUs) to achieve high spatial precision in assessing the im…
