Authors: Di Chen, Aiguo Dai, Alex Hall
Journal: Journal of Geophysical Research Atmospheres · DOI: 10.1029/2020jd034198 · Citations: 127
Matched topics: earth system model
Abstract Overestimation of precipitation frequency and duration while underestimating intensity, that is, the “drizzling” bias, has been a long‐standing problem of global climate models. Here we explore this issue from the perspective of precipitation partitioning. We found that most models in the Climate Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 (CMIP5) have high convective‐to‐total precipitation (PC/PR) ratios in low latitudes. Convective precipitation has higher frequency and longer duration b…

Abstract Currently available evapotranspiration (ET) products have not provided us with an accurate estimation for global irrigated land area. Thermal energy balance (EB) model has the potential to solve this problem. The accurate estimation of aerodynamic resistances is a major complication in most remote sensing ET models. An EB model using a column canopy‐air turbulent heat diffusion method was developed to more realistically depict dynamic changes in aerodynamic resistance. In order to es…

Abstract. Permafrost underlies one-quarter of the Northern Hemisphere but is at increasing risk of thaw from climate warming. Recent studies across the Arctic have identified areas of rapid permafrost degradation from both top-down and lateral thaw. Of particular concern is thawing syngenetic “yedoma” permafrost which is ice-rich and has a high carbon content. This type of permafrost is common in the region around Fairbanks, Alaska, and across central Alaska expanding westward to the Seward P…

In the age of the Anthropocene, the ocean has typically been viewed as a sink for pollution. Pollution is varied, ranging from human-made plastics and pharmaceutical compounds, to human-altered abiotic factors, such as sediment and nutrient runoff. As global population, wealth and resource consumption continue to grow, so too does the amount of potential pollution produced. This presents us with a grand challenge which requires interdisciplinary knowledge to solve. There is sufficient data on…

Matched topics: water management
Water conservation is the core wetland ecological function. The pattern of water conservation in geography often exhibits local spatial heterogeneity. In this paper, the Dongting Lake (DT) and Poyang Lake (PY) wetlands were taken as research objects, and the water yield (WY) module of the Integrated Valuation of Ecosystem Services and Trade-offs (InVEST) model was used to spatially quantify water conservation, with the aim of revealing the differences in water conservation in homogeneous wetl…
The role of soils in regulation and provision of blue and green water

The United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 6 aims for clean water and sanitation for all by 2030, through eight subgoals dealing with four themes: (i) water quantity and availability, (ii) water quality, (iii) finding sustainable solutions and (iv) policy and governance. In this opinion paper, we assess how soils and associated land and water management can help achieve this goal, considering soils at two scales: local soil health and healthy landscapes. The merging of these two viewpoin…
A Contribution to Soil Fertility Assessment for Arid and Semi-Arid Lands
Authors: Hussam Hag Husein, Bernhard Lücke, Rupert Bäumler, Wahib Sahwan
Journal: Soil Systems · DOI: 10.3390/soilsystems5030042 · Citations: 71
Matched topics: irrigation
Soil fertility must be viewed as a dynamic concept that involves the constant cycling of nutrients between organic and inorganic forms. In this context, it refers also to supply adequate amounts of water and aeration for plant growth. Soil fertility under arid and semi-arid lands is constrained not only by limited water availability but also by small organic matter contents. Most fertility assessment systems are based on organic matter contents as the main parameter. However, crop experiments…
Groundwater antibiotic pollution and its relationship with dissolved organic matter: Identification and environmental implications

in one location. DOM analysis revealed that most molecular formulas were CHO compounds (49 %-68 %), with a remarkable percentage containing nitrogen and sulphur (16 %-23 % and 11 %-24 %, respectively). Major DOM components were phenolic and highly unsaturated compounds (~90 %), typical for soil-derived organic matter, while approximately 11 % were unsaturated aliphatic, suggesting that springs may be susceptible to anthropogenic contamination sources. Comparing the DOM fingerprint among sites…
