Authors: David L. Hoover, Alix A. Pfennigwerth, Michael C. Duniway

Journal: Journal of Ecology · DOI: 10.1111/1365-2745.13681 · Citations: 125

Matched topics: drought

Abstract In many regions of the world, climate change is projected to reduce water availability through changes in the hydrological cycle, including more frequent and intense droughts, as well as seasonal shifts in precipitation. In water‐limited ecosystems, such as drylands, lower soil water availability may exceed the adaptive capacity of many organisms, leading to cascading ecological effects during (concurrent effects) and after drought (legacy effects). The magnitude and duration of conc…

Over the last decades, climate science has evolved rapidly across multiple expert domains. Our best tools to capture state-of-the-art knowledge in an internally self-consistent modeling framework are the increasingly complex fully coupled Earth System Models (ESMs). However, computational limitations and the structural rigidity of ESMs mean that the full range of uncertainties across multiple domains are difficult to capture with ESMs alone. The tools of choice are instead more computationall…

The population status of several species is now of significant concern. The threats to populations include direct exploitation at different life stages, blockages to migratory routes by dams and other structures, changes in river basin management that impact habitat carrying capacity and suitability, pollution, climate change, diseases and parasite…


Fire impacts on soil microorganisms: Mass, activity, and diversity

Authors: Ana Barreiro, Montserrat Díaz-Raviña

Journal: Current Opinion in Environmental Science & Health · DOI: 10.1016/j.coesh.2021.100264 · Citations: 109

Matched topics: hydrology, climate change

The ecosystem response to fire is often linked to fire severity and recurrence, with potentially large consequences on both aboveground and below–ground processes. Understanding the fire impact has become increasingly important in the light of recent changes to disturbance regimes due to climate change. Although the impacts on the above vegetation and the below soil physical and chemical properties are well documented, it remains unclear how fire affects the fine-scale microorganisms. Microbi…

Authors: Ophélie Fovet, Axel Belemtougri, Laurie Boithias, Isabelle Braud, Jean‐Baptiste Charlier, Marylise Cottet et al.

Journal: Wiley Interdisciplinary Reviews Water · DOI: 10.1002/wat2.1523 · Citations: 99

Matched topics: hydrology, river, streamflow, water management, land surface model, surface water

Abstract Intermittent rivers and ephemeral streams (IRES) are now recognized to support specific freshwater biodiversity and ecosystem services and represent approximately half of the global river network, a fraction that is likely to increase in the context of global changes. Despite large research efforts on IRES during the past few decades, there is a need for developing a systemic approach to IRES that considers their hydrological, hydrogeological, hydraulic, ecological, and biogeochemica…


Degradation of Southeast Asian tropical peatlands and integrated strategies for their better management and restoration

Authors: Shailendra Mishra, Susan Page, Ale×ander R. Cobb, Janice Ser Huay Lee, A. Jonay Jovani‐Sancho, Sofie Sjögersten et al.

Journal: Journal of Applied Ecology · DOI: 10.1111/1365-2664.13905 · Citations: 98

Matched topics: hydrology

Abstract About half of the world’s tropical peatlands occur in Southeast (SE) Asia, where they serve as a major carbon (C) sink. Nearly 80% of natural peatlands in this region have been deforested and drained, with the majority under plantations and agriculture. This conversion increases peat oxidation which contributes to rapid C loss to the atmosphere as greenhouse gas emissions and increases their vulnerability to fires which generate regional smoke haze that has severe impacts on human he…


Changes in soil water holding capacity and water availability following vegetation restoration on the Chinese Loess Plateau

Authors: Yong-wang Zhang, Kaibo Wang, Jun Wang, Changhai Liu, Zhouping Shangguan

Journal: Scientific Reports · DOI: 10.1038/s41598-021-88914-0 · Citations: 97

Matched topics: water management, land surface model

Changes in land use type can lead to variations in soil water characteristics. The objective of this study was to identify the responses of soil water holding capacity (SWHC) and soil water availability (SWA) to land use type (grassland, shrubland and forestland). The soil water characteristic curve describes the relationship between gravimetric water content and soil suction. We measured the soil water characteristic parameters representing SWHC and SWA, which we derived from soil water char…


Role of Groundwater in Sustaining Northern Himalayan Rivers

Authors: Yingying Yao, Chunmiao Zheng, Charles B. Andrews, Bridget R. Scanlon, Xingxing Kuang, Zhenzhong Zeng et al.

Journal: Geophysical Research Letters · DOI: 10.1029/2020gl092354 · Citations: 95

Matched topics: hydrology, hydrologic model, river, streamflow, land surface model, hydropower, earth system model

Abstract The Himalayas are critical for supplying water for ∼2 billion people who live downstream, and available water is highly sensitive to climate change. The role of the groundwater system in sustaining the northern Himalayan rivers remains unknown, and this compromises Asia’s future water sustainability. Here, we quantify the spatiotemporal contribution of groundwater to river flows in the Yarlung Zangbo Basin (upper reaches of Brahmaputra). Our results show that the groundwater recharge…


Comparing PlanetScope to Landsat-8 and Sentinel-2 for Sensing Water Quality in Reservoirs in Agricultural Watersheds

Authors: Abubakarr S. Mansaray, Andrew R. Dzialowski, Meghan E. Martin, Kevin Wagner, Hamed Gholizadeh, Scott Stoodley

Journal: Remote Sensing · DOI: 10.3390/rs13091847 · Citations: 91

Matched topics: runoff, reservoir

Agricultural runoff transports sediments and nutrients that deteriorate water quality erratically, posing a challenge to ground-based monitoring. Satellites provide data at spatial-temporal scales that can be used for water quality monitoring. PlanetScope nanosatellites have spatial (3 m) and temporal (daily) resolutions that may help improve water quality monitoring compared to coarser-resolution satellites. This work compared PlanetScope to Landsat-8 and Sentinel-2 in their ability to detec…


Environmental implications of soil erosion and sediment yield in Lake Hawassa watershed, south-central Ethiopia

Recent Progresses in Metal–Organic Frameworks Based Core–shell Composites

Authors: Shan Dai, Antoine Tissot, Christian Serre

Journal: Advanced Energy Materials · DOI: 10.1002/aenm.202100061 · Citations: 80

Matched topics: runoff

Abstract Encapsulation of active guest compounds inside metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) architectures is one of the most promising routes to reach properties beyond those of the bare MOFs and/or guest species. In contrast with the conventional host/guest composites that rely on the encapsulation of guest species into MOF cavities, core–shell composites display a better accessibility to the pores ensuring an optimal diffusion of the substrate while presenting a unique structure that prevents t…


Stratospheric contraction caused by increasing greenhouse gases

Authors: Petr Pišoft, Petr Šácha, Lorenzo M. Polvani, Juan Antonio Añel, Laura de la Torre, Roland Eichinger et al.

Journal: Environmental Research Letters · DOI: 10.1088/1748-9326/abfe2b · Citations: 78

Matched topics: climate change

Abstract Rising emissions of anthropogenic greenhouse gases (GHG) have led to tropospheric warming and stratospheric cooling over recent decades. As a thermodynamic consequence, the troposphere has expanded and the rise of the tropopause, the boundary between the troposphere and stratosphere, has been suggested as one of the most robust fingerprints of anthropogenic climate change. Conversely, at altitudes above ∼55 km (in the mesosphere and thermosphere) observational and modeling evidence i…
