Accessibility is a key measure of the vulnerability of road networks to disruptions such as floods. However, studies comparing the contribution of parameters to the accuracy of accessibility-based vulnerability assessment are lacking. We propose modifying two accessibility measures to include flood-affected populations, opportunities, and average shortest travel time. We also applied three methods including the divergent ranking method to identify the direct impact of extreme floods on road n…

Destructive coastal floods are commonly increasing in frequency and may be caused by global precipitation intensification. Such connections through climate, watershed, and river processes are poorly understood because of complex interactions in transitional fluvial-marine environments where flooding is caused by rivers, marine storm surge, or both in compound events. To better understand river floods along the fluvial-marine transition, we study watersheds of the northeastern Gulf of Mexico u…

Drought is a natural phenomenon posing severe implications for soil, groundwater and agricultural yield. It has been recognized as one of the most pervasive global change drivers to affect the soil. Soil being a weakly renewable resource takes a long time to form, but it takes no time to degrade. However, the response of soil to drought conditions as soil loss is not manifested in the existing literature. Thus, this study makes a concerted effort to analyze the relationship between drought co…

Despite great concern for drought-driven forest mortality, the effects of frequent low-intensity droughts have been largely overlooked in the boreal forest because of their negligible impacts over the short term. In this study, we used data from 6876 permanent plots distributed across most of the Canadian boreal zone to assess the effects of repeated low-intensity droughts on forest mortality. Specifically, we compared the relative impact of sequential years under low-intensity dry conditions…

BACKGROUND: Drought stress has great negative effects on the plant growth and development. The tolerance of plants to such abiotic stress is triggered by complicated and multilayered signaling pathways to restore cellular homeostasis and to promote survival. The WRKY family is one of the largest transcription factor families in higher plants, and has been well recognized for the roles in regulating plants tolerance to abiotic and biotic stress. However, little is known about how the WRKY gene…

Abstract Over the last decade, the world warmed by 0.25 °C, in-line with the roughly linear trend since the 1970s. Here we present updated analyses showing that this seemingly small shift has led to the emergence of heat extremes that would be virtually impossible without anthropogenic global warming. Also, record rainfall extremes have continued to increase worldwide and, on average, 1 in 4 rainfall records in the last decade can be attributed to climate change. Tropical regions, comprised o…

The last decade has seen a proliferation of studies that use plant functional traits to assess how plants respond to climate change. However, it remains unclear whether there is a global set of traits that can predict plants’ ability to cope or even thrive when exposed to varying manifestations of climate change. We conducted a systematic global review which identified 148 studies to assess whether there is a set of common traits across biomes that best predict positive plant responses to mul…

Common Era (CE), ca. 700 y earlier than historical records suggest the onset of Portuguese settlement of the islands. Settlement proceeded in three phases, during which human pressure on the terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems grew steadily (i.e., through livestock introductions, logging, and fire), resulting in irreversible changes. Our climate models suggest that the initial colonization at the end of the early Middle Ages (500 to 900 CE) occurred in conjunction with anomalous northeasterly …

Climate models predict that, in the coming decades, many arid regions will experience increasingly hot conditions and will be affected more frequently by drought. These regions are also experiencing rapid vegetation change, notably invasion by exotic grasses. Invasive grasses spread rapidly into native desert ecosystems due, in particular, to interannual variability in precipitation and periodic fires. The resultant destruction of non-fire-adapted native shrub and grass communities and of the…

The aviation sector contributes to anthropogenic climate change through both CO2 and non-CO2 radiative effects. The CO2 effect is considered to be much more certain than the non-CO2 effects, yet there are relatively few studies that quantify it. Building on the scientific literature on burden sharing in the wake of the “Brazilian proposal”, we discuss how to best attribute a fraction of the CO2 radiative forcing to the aviation sector. For this we use the OSCAR compact Earth System model to e…

Precipitation is a crucial component of the water cycle and plays a key role in hydrological processes. Recently, satellite-based precipitation products (SPPs) have provided grid-based precipitation with spatiotemporal variability. However, SPPs contain a lot of uncertainty in estimated precipitation, and the spatial resolution of these products is still relatively coarse. To overcome these limitations, this study aims to generate new grid-based daily precipitation based on a combination of r…

Matched topics: runoff, surface water
As an extreme manifestation of environmental degradation, karst rock desertification is caused by soil loss and rock exposure. In some areas with serious rocky desertification, there is no soil to be eroded or leaked. The soil loss in these areas superimposes soil erosion and unique subsurface loss by soil leakage through fissures, pipelines, sinkholes, etc., which directly reduce soil resources and accelerate rocky desertification. However, the factors driving soil erosion and subsurface los…

As the impact of water scarcity in the United States (U.S.) continues to grow through the 21st century, it is critical to develop strategies to reduce water use and improve the security of water resources. One such strategy is to diversify the sources from which water is supplied. Industrial withdrawals represent the fourth largest category of U.S. water use, the majority of which is sourced from fresh surface and groundwater. In this study, we critically explore the potential of industrial w…

Despite the exponential increase in human population at global scale, some rural areas have experienced a progressive abandonment over the last decades. Under particular socioecological and policy contexts, changes in demography may promote land-use changes and, consequently, alter ecosystem services (ES) supply. However, most studies on this topic have targeted urban population increase, whereas depopulation has been rarely addressed. Here, we examined how shifts in demographic variables (hu…

Pakistan has not fully harnessed the capacity of its vast hydropower potential for electricity generation. It depends on imported and local fossil fuels to fulfill its energy demands, which consume a significant portion of the country’s economy. Hydropower can provide an economical, renewable, clean, and secure source of energy for the country. The potential benefits and prospects of hydropower for Pakistan require a comprehensive review of the hydropower sector to investigate the true resour…

Abstract El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) shows a large diversity of events that is modulated by climate variability and change. The representation of this diversity in climate models limits our ability to predict their impact on ecosystems and human livelihood. Here, we use multiple observational datasets to provide a probabilistic description of historical variations in event location and intensity, and to benchmark models, before examining future system trajectories. We find robust deca…
Natural and anthropogenic drivers of the lost groundwater from the Ganga River basin
Authors: Swarup Dangar, Vimal Mishra
Journal: Environmental Research Letters · DOI: 10.1088/1748-9326/ac2ceb · Citations: 56
Matched topics: hydrologic model, river, irrigation
Ganga river basin is the most populated and among the worst water-stressed river basins in the world. The basin contributes to 40% of India’s gross domestic product. Despite the Ganga basin’s cultural, heritage, and economic importance, the interplay among the crucial factors that make the basin one of the global groundwater depletion hotspots is not well understood. Using observations from wells and Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment satellites and simulations from a hydrological model,…

The Tibetan Plateau, known as the “Third Pole” of the world, is extremely sensitive to global climate change. Reliable soil moisture information is essential for understanding the impact of the Tibetan Plateau on the Asian monsoon. The study assessed a total of four satellite soil moisture products, namely the SMAP-SCA (V7), ESA CCI (V0.52), AMSR2 LPRM (V001), and FY-3C (V1) over the Tibetan Plateau using three densely-instrumented soil moisture networks (i.e., Maqu, Naqu, and P…
