Climate change is intensifying tropical cyclones, accelerating sea-level rise, and increasing coastal flooding. River deltas are especially vulnerable to flooding because of their low elevations and densely populated cities. Yet, we do not know how many people live on deltas and their exposure to flooding. Using a new global dataset, we show that 339 million people lived on river deltas in 2017 and 89% of those people live in the same latitudinal zone as most tropical cyclone activity. We cal…

Soil moisture dominates dryness stress on ecosystem production globally

Authors: Laibao Liu, Lukas Gudmundsson, Mathias Hauser, Dahe Qin, Shuangcheng Li, Sonia I. Seneviratne

Journal: Nature Communications · DOI: 10.1038/s41467-020-18631-1 · Citations: 883

Matched topics: hydrology, water management, drought, land surface model, earth system model

Dryness stress can limit vegetation growth and is often characterized by low soil moisture (SM) and high atmospheric water demand (vapor pressure deficit, VPD). However, the relative role of SM and VPD in limiting ecosystem production remains debated and is difficult to disentangle, as SM and VPD are coupled through land-atmosphere interactions, hindering the ability to predict ecosystem responses to dryness. Here, we combine satellite observations of solar-induced fluorescence with estimates…

Matched topics: climate change

Adapting to climate change is necessary to ensure that the impacts will not overwhelm societies and ecosystems around the world. But planning adaptation is an exercise in uncertainty, and built on imperfect information, many adaptation strategies fail. Some go even further, creating conditions that actually worsen the situation; this is called maladaptation. Aside from wasting time and money, maladaptation is a process through which people become even more vulnerable to climate change. Poor p…

Abstract Runoff forecasting is an important approach for flood mitigation. Many machine learning models have been proposed for runoff forecasting in recent years. To reconstruct the time series of runoff data into a standard machine learning dataset, a sliding window method is usually used to pre-process the data, with the size of the window as a variable parameter which is commonly referred to as the time step. Conventional machine learning methods, such as artificial neural network models (…

Global variation in diurnal asymmetry in temperature, cloud cover, specific humidity and precipitation and its association with leaf area index

Matched topics: hydrology, land surface model

The impacts of the changing climate on the biological world vary across latitudes, habitats and spatial scales. By contrast, the time of day at which these changes are occurring has received relatively little attention. As biologically significant organismal activities often occur at particular times of day, any asymmetry in the rate of change between the daytime and night-time will skew the climatic pressures placed on them, and this could have profound impacts on the natural world. Here we …

Matched topics: seasonal

Terrestrial vegetation absorbs approximately 30% of the anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) emitted into the atmosphere through photosynthesis (represented by gross primary productivity, GPP) and thus effectively mitigates global warming. However, large uncertainties still remain in the global GPP estimations and their long-term trends. Here we used the satellite-based near-infrared reflectance (NIRv) as the proxy of GPP and generated a global long-term (1982-2018) GPP datasets (hereafter GPPN…

Abstract Water is a natural resource for agricultural irrigation. Recycling use of water is important in terms of resource conservation and is good for sustainable development of the ecological environment. The wastewater from daily living and industrial production contains various chemicals that are supposed as pollutants leading to the decline of water quality. For the demand of water protection and recycling, the assessment of water pollution level should be evaluated. An effective scienti…

Authors: Xingyi Zhou, Panpan Zhang, Fei Zhao, Guihua Yu

Journal: ACS Materials Letters · DOI: 10.1021/acsmaterialslett.0c00439 · Citations: 144

Matched topics: irrigation

An atmospheric water irrigation system based on super moisture absorbent gels (SMAG) is developed for sustainable agriculture technology. The SMAG-soil can harvest water from the air and provide water to the plants upon solar heating regardless of the local accessibility to liquid water resources. As a benefit of this solar-powered atmospheric water irrigation system, agriculture can become geographically and hydrologically independent. Thus, crop planting in underdeveloped and drought areas …

Journal: Unknown · DOI: 10.1016/j.renene.2020.05.161 · Citations: 118

Matched topics: reservoir

Abstract Most commonly, hydropower operation focused on the economic and social benefits of the humankind, whereas neglecting the riverine ecosystem conservation. This conventional approach of operation led to the degradation of the riverine ecosystem. As research progressed, adoption of natural flow variability in the operation of reservoir gained momentum. Flow variability is a major driver of the healthy river ecosystem, whereby discharging a certain amount of water could potentially reduc…

Moisture availability mediates the relationship between terrestrial gross primary production and solar‐induced chlorophyll fluorescence: Insights from global‐scale variations

Authors: Anping Chen, Jiafu Mao, Daniel Ricciuto, Jingfeng Xiao, Christian Frankenberg, Xing Li et al.

Journal: Global Change Biology · DOI: 10.1111/gcb.15373 · Citations: 95

Matched topics: land surface model, earth system model

Effective use of solar-induced chlorophyll fluorescence (SIF) to estimate and monitor gross primary production (GPP) in terrestrial ecosystems requires a comprehensive understanding and quantification of the relationship between SIF and GPP. To date, this understanding is incomplete and somewhat controversial in the literature. Here we derived the GPP/SIF ratio from multiple data sources as a diagnostic metric to explore its global-scale patterns of spatial variation and potential climatic de…
