Abstract Melatonin is an indolamine bioactive molecule that regulates a wide range of physiological processes during plant growth and enhances abiotic stress tolerance. Here we examined the putative role of exogenous melatonin application (foliar or root zone) in improving drought stress tolerance in soybean seedlings. Pre-treatment of soybean seedlings with melatonin (50 and 100 µM) was found to significantly mitigate the negative effects of drought stress on plant growth-related parameters …

Matched topics: drought, land surface model
While leaf discoloration of many temperate and boreal tree species has been delayed in response to global warming, climatic stress such as severe drought can cause premature leaf discoloration. We investigated whether leaf discoloration is synchronized within and across tree species and under which climatic conditions premature leaf discoloration occurs (i.e. exceptionally early dates of leaf discoloration within the lower 5 % percentile). We analyzed 16’865 observations of leaf discoloration…

Matched topics: drought
Although the role of root hairs (RHs) in nutrient uptake is well documented, their role in water uptake and drought tolerance remains controversial. Maize (Zea mays) wild-type and its hair-defective mutant (Mut; roothairless 3) were grown in two contrasting soil textures (sand and loam). We used a root pressure chamber to measure the relation between transpiration rate (E) and leaf xylem water potential (ψleaf_x) during soil drying. Our hypotheses were: (1) RHs extend root-soil contact and re…

Between 2016 and 2019, the UK was in a period of prolonged dry conditions with varying spatial and temporal foci. We look at the rainfall, river flows, soil moisture and drought impacts leading up to and including the heatwave of 2018, and the following year, placing the events into historical context. Using incident data from the UK regulators, we also explore drought impacts for this period.

Tree-ring chronologies underpin the majority of annually-resolved reconstructions of Common Era climate. However, they are derived using different datasets and techniques, the ramifications of which have hitherto been little explored. Here, we report the results of a double-blind experiment that yielded 15 Northern Hemisphere summer temperature reconstructions from a common network of regional tree-ring width datasets. Taken together as an ensemble, the Common Era reconstruction mean correlat…
A conceptual framework for cross-border impacts of climate change

Climate change impacts, adaptation and vulnerability studies tend to confine their attention to impacts and responses within the same geographical region. However, this approach ignores cross-border climate change impacts that occur remotely from the location of their initial impact and that may severely disrupt societies and livelihoods. We propose a conceptual framework and accompanying nomenclature for describing and analysing such cross-border impacts. The conceptual framework distinguish…

Siberia has undergone dramatic climatic changes due to global warming in recent decades. Yet, the ecological responses to these climatic changes are still poorly understood due to a lack of data. Here, we use a unique data set from the Russian ‘Chronicles of Nature’ network to analyse the long-term (1976-2018) phenological shifts in leaf out, flowering, fruiting and senescence of 67 common Siberian plant species. We find that Siberian boreal forest plants advanced their early season (leaf out…

The Greenland ice sheet has been one of the largest sources of sea-level rise since the early 2000s. However, basal melt has not been included explicitly in assessments of ice-sheet mass loss so far. Here, we present the first estimate of the total and regional basal melt produced by the ice sheet and the recent change in basal melt through time. We find that the ice sheet’s present basal melt production is 21.4 +4.4/-4.0 Gt per year, and that melt generated by basal friction is responsible f…

The Tibetan Plateau has a large area of marshes which play a crucial part in the global carbon cycle. The vegetation aboveground biomass (AGB) is a critical indicator of carbon storage of marsh ecosystems. Due to the limitations of field investigation, the spatiotemporal variation of AGB and its influencing factors of the Tibetan Plateau marshes remain unclear. By using the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), climate and measured AGB data, this study investigated the temporal and s…

Abstract. Assessments of climate change impacts on runoff regimes are essential to climate change adaptation and mitigation planning. Changing runoff regimes and thus changing seasonal patterns of water availability strongly influence various economic sectors such as agriculture, energy production, and fishery and also affect river ecology. In this study, we use new transient hydrological scenarios driven by the most up-to-date local climate projections for Switzerland, the Swiss Climate Chan…

Abstract. Drifting snow, or the wind-driven transport of snow particles originating from clouds and the surface below and above 2 m above ground and their concurrent sublimation, is a poorly documented process on the Antarctic ice sheet, which is inherently lacking in most climate models. Since drifting snow mostly results from erosion of surface particles, a comprehensive evaluation of this process in climate models requires a concurrent assessment of simulated drifting-snow transport and th…

Ecological theory suggests that biodiversity has a positive and stabilizing effect on the delivery of ecosystem services. Yet, the impacts of increasing the diversity of cultivated crop species or varieties in agroecosystems are still under scrutiny. The available empirical evidence is scattered in scope, agronomic and geographic contexts, and impacts on ecosystem services may depend on the type of diversification strategy used. To robustly assess the effects of crop diversification in agroec…

Abstract Globally, thunderstorms are responsible for a significant fraction of rainfall, and in the mid-latitudes often produce extreme weather, including large hail, tornadoes and damaging winds. Despite this importance, how the global frequency of thunderstorms and their accompanying hazards has changed over the past 4 decades remains unclear. Large-scale diagnostics applied to global climate models have suggested that the frequency of thunderstorms and their intensity is likely to increase…

There is, however, a lack of agreement among different methodologies on the magnitude and trends in LULCC emissions and their geographic distribution. Here we perform an evaluation of LULCC datasets for Brazil, including those used in the annual global carbon budget (GCB), and national Brazilian assessments over the pe…

Processing and Extraction of Seasonal Tree Physiological Parameters from Stem Radius Time Series
Authors: Simon Knüsel, Richard L. Peters, Matthias Haeni, Micah Wilhelm, Roman Zweifel
Journal: Forests · DOI: 10.3390/f12060765 · Citations: 86
Matched topics: seasonal
Radial stem size changes, measured with automated dendrometers at intra-daily resolution, offer great potential to link environmental conditions with tree physiology at the seasonal scale. Such measurements need to be time-aligned, cleaned of outliers and shifts, gap-filled and analysed for reversible (water-related) and irreversible (growth-related) fractions to obtain physiologically meaningful data. Therefore, comprehensive tools are needed for reproducible data processing and analytics of…
Compound Hot and Dry Events in Europe: Variability and Large-Scale Drivers
Authors: Monica Ioniță, Diana E. Caldarescu, Viorica Nagavciuc
Journal: Frontiers in Climate · DOI: 10.3389/fclim.2021.688991 · Citations: 85
Matched topics: hydrology, land surface model
An important aspect of inevitable surprises, for the climate system, is the potential of occurrence of compound extreme events. These can be events that occur at the same time over the same geographic location or at multiple locations within a given country or around the world. In this study, we investigate the spatio-temporal variability of summer compound hot and dry (CHD) events at European level and we quantify the relationship between the occurrence of CHDs and the large-scale atmospheri…
Rapid 3D Printing of Bioinspired Hybrid Structures for High-Efficiency Fog Collection and Water Transportation
Authors: Luyang Liu, Siying Liu, Michael Schelp, Xiangfan Chen
Journal: ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces · DOI: 10.1021/acsami.1c05745 · Citations: 78
Matched topics: reservoir
. Characterization results show that the printed spines with four longitudinal ridges manifest the maximum fog-collection rate, and the bottom channel with C-IAPGs can efficiently transport the water droplets into the reservoir. This work is believed to be beneficial for developing next-generation fog-collection, water-transportation, and desalination devices.
Revisiting Global Vegetation Controls Using Multi‐Layer Soil Moisture
Authors: Wantong Li, Mirco Migliavacca, Matthias Forkel, Sophia Walther, Markus Reichstein, René Orth
Journal: Geophysical Research Letters · DOI: 10.1029/2021gl092856 · Citations: 77
Matched topics: hydrology, hydrologic model, runoff, land surface model
Abstract The productivity of terrestrial vegetation is determined by multiple land surface and atmospheric drivers. Water availability is critical for vegetation productivity, but the role of vertical variability of soil moisture (SM) is largely unknown. Here, we analyze dominant controls of global vegetation productivity represented by sun‐induced fluorescence and spectral vegetation indices at the half‐monthly time scale. We apply random forests to predict vegetation productivity from sever…
Estimating Ocean Surface Currents With Machine Learning
Authors: Anirban Sinha, Ryan Abernathey
Journal: Frontiers in Marine Science · DOI: 10.3389/fmars.2021.672477 · Citations: 76
Matched topics: land surface model, earth system model
Global surface currents are usually inferred from directly observed quantities like sea-surface height, wind stress by applying diagnostic balance relations (like geostrophy and Ekman flow), which provide a good approximation of the dynamics of slow, large-scale currents at large scales and low Rossby numbers. However, newer generation satellite altimeters (like the upcoming SWOT mission) will capture more of the high wavenumber variability associated with the unbalanced components, but the l…
Identification of Groundwater Potential Zones Using GIS and Multi-Criteria Decision-Making Techniques: A Case Study Upper Coruh River Basin (NE Turkey)
Authors: Ümit Yıldırım
Journal: ISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information · DOI: 10.3390/ijgi10060396 · Citations: 72
Matched topics: river
In this study, geographic information system (GIS)-based, analytic hierarchy process (AHP) techniques were used to identify groundwater potential zones to provide insight to decisionmakers and local authorities for present and future planning. Ten different geo-environmental factors, such as slope, topographic wetness index, geomorphology, drainage density, lithology, lineament density, rainfall, soil type, soil thickness, and land-use classes were selected as the decision criteria, and relat…
