Effect on soil water availability, rather than silicon uptake by plants, explains the beneficial effect of silicon on rice during drought
Authors: Jana Kuhla, Johanna Pausch, Jörg Schaller
Journal: Plant Cell & Environment · DOI: 10.1111/pce.14155 · Citations: 57
Matched topics: drought
Various studies showed a decrease of drought stress specific parameters of plants after silicon (Si) fertilization. But all studies differed in soil Si concentration between the control and Si treatments. As amorphous silica (ASi) was recently found to cause a strong increase of water holding capacity and plant available water in soils, a combined effect of soil moisture and plant response due to Si addition was assumed. In this study, the influence of the soil Si content was excluded by usin…

Mapping the distribution and type of land use and land cover (LULC) is essential for watershed management. The Tigris-Euphrates basin is a transboundary region in the Middle East shared between six countries, but a recent fine-scale LULC map of the area is lacking. Using Landsat-8 time series, a 30-m resolution LULC map was produced for the Tigris-Euphrates basin. In total, 1184 Landsat scenes were processed within the Google Earth Engine (GEE). For the collection of ground truth data, differ…

per year by the late 2010s. The gap is satisfied by import of virtual water. The role of economic growth in driving per capita demand on water is quantified based on detailed analysis of water use by agriculture and other sectors. We develop and test an empirical model of water demand in Egypt that relates demand on water to growth rates in the economy and population. Looking forward, we project that within this decade of the 2020 s, under nominal scenarios of population and economic growth, …

Abstract. Subseasonal-to-seasonal (S2S) prediction, especially the prediction of extreme hydroclimate events such as droughts and floods, is not only scientifically challenging, but also has substantial societal impacts. Motivated by preliminary studies, the Global Energy and Water Exchanges (GEWEX)/Global Atmospheric System Study (GASS) has launched a new initiative called “Impact of Initialized Land Surface Temperature and Snowpack on Subseasonal to Seasonal Prediction” (LS4P) as the first …
AlgaeMAp: Algae Bloom Monitoring Application for Inland Waters in Latin America
Authors: Felipe de Lucia Lobo, Gustavo Willy Nagel, Daniel Andrade Maciel, Lino Augusto Sander de Carvalho, Vitor S. Martins, Cláudio Clemente Faria Barbosa et al.

Matched topics: hydropower, earth system model
Due to increasing algae bloom occurrence and water degradation on a global scale, there is a demand for water quality monitoring systems based on remote sensing imagery. This paper describes the scientific, theoretical, and methodological background for creating a cloud-computing interface on Google Earth Engine (GEE) which allows end-users to access algae bloom related products with high spatial (30 m) and temporal (~5 day) resolution. The proposed methodology uses Sentinel-2 images correcte…

Upgrading Land‐Cover and Vegetation Seasonality in the ECMWF Coupled System: Verification With FLUXNET Sites, METEOSAT Satellite Land Surface Temperatures, and ERA5 Atmospheric Reanalysis
Authors: Miguel Nogueira, Souhail Boussetta, Gianpaolo Balsamo, Clément Albergel, Isabel F. Trigo, Frederico Johannsen et al.
Journal: Journal of Geophysical Research Atmospheres · DOI: 10.1029/2020jd034163 · Citations: 56
Matched topics: hydrology, seasonal, land surface model
In this study, we show that limitations in the representation of land cover and vegetation seasonality in the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasting (ECMWF) model are partially responsible for large biases (up to ∼10°C, either positive or negative depending on the region) on the simulated daily maximum land surface temperature (LST) with respect to satellite Earth Observations (EOs) products from the Land Surface Analysis Satellite Application Facility. The error patterns were c…
