Climate change is reshaping global vegetation through its impacts on plant mortality, but recruitment creates the next generation of plants and will determine the structure and composition of future communities. Recruitment depends on mean seed production, but also on the interannual variability and among-plant synchrony in seed production, the phenomenon known as mast seeding. Thus, predicting the long-term response of global vegetation dynamics to climate change requires understanding the r…

Abstract Understanding future changes in global terrestrial near-surface wind speed (NSWS) in specific global warming level (GWL) is crucial for climate change adaption. Previous studies have projected the NSWS changes; however, the changes of NSWS with different GWLs have yet to be studied. In this paper, we employ the Max Planck Institute Earth System Model large ensembles to evaluate the contributions of different GWLs to the NSWS changes. The results show that the NSWS decreases over the …

Scholars, journalists, and activists working on climate change often distinguish between “individual” and “structural” approaches to decarbonization. The former concern choices individuals can make to reduce their “personal carbon footprint” (e.g. eating less meat). The latter concern changes to institutions, laws, and other social structures. These two approaches are often framed as oppositional, representing a mutually exclusive forced choice between alternative routes to decarbonization. A…

Abstract Classifying the diverse ways that plants respond to hydrologic stress into generalizable ‘water‐use strategies’ has long been an eco‐physiological research goal. While many schemes for describing water‐use strategies have proven to be quite useful, they are also associated with uncertainties regarding their theoretical basis and their connection to plant carbon and water relations. In this review, we discuss the factors that shape plant water stress responses and assess the approache…

Matched topics: land surface model, earth system model
Land use has greatly transformed Earth’s surface. While spatial reconstructions of how the extent of land cover and land-use types have changed during the last century are available, much less information exists about changes in land-use intensity. In particular, global reconstructions that consistently cover land-use intensity across land-use types and ecosystems are missing. We, therefore, lack understanding of how changes in land-use intensity interfere with the natural processes in land s…

These studies are essential to understand the water security of a large population living in Indo-Gangetic plains. We compile the work carried out by the scientific community to develop a state-of-art understanding of the Himalayan Cryosphere and discuss potential implications on water security. …

Abstract The objective of this paper is to compare, under Dutch market conditions, the energy consumption and net costs of membrane-based advanced treatment processes for three water reuse types (i.e. potable, industrial, agricultural reuse). The water source is municipal wastewater treatment plant effluent. Results indicate that the application of reverse osmosis is needed to reclaim high quality water for industrial and potable reuse but not for irrigation water which offers significant ene…
The impacts of water level fluctuations of East Dongting Lake on habitat suitability of migratory birds

Matched topics: hydrologic model
Understanding responses of habitat suitability of migratory birds to the water level is significant for providing countermeasures of wetland protection. East Dongting Lake serves critical wintering habitat for migratory birds along the East Asian-Australasian Flyway. However, the response relationships between the water level and the weighted usable area (WUA) for migratory birds remain largely unknown. Therefore, we established a habitat suitability model of migratory birds based on the Digi…
Investigation on Coal Skeleton Deformation in CO2 Injection Enhanced CH4 Drainage From Underground Coal Seam
Authors: Chaojun Fan, Lei Yang, Gang Wang, Qiming Huang, Xiang Fu, Haiou Wen
Journal: Frontiers in Earth Science · DOI: 10.3389/feart.2021.766011 · Citations: 60
Matched topics: flood
To reveal the evolution law of coal skeleton deformation during the process of CO 2 flooding and displacing CH 4 in coal seam, a fluid-solid coupling mathematical model of CO 2 injection enhanced CH 4 drainage was established based on Fick’s law, Darcy’s law, ideal gas state equation, and Langmuir equation. Meanwhile, numerical simulations were carried out by implementing the mathematical model in the COMSOL Multiphysics. Results show that the CH 4 content of both regular gas drainage and CO …
Indian Ocean Dipole leads to Atlantic Niño
Authors: Lei Zhang, Weiqing Han
Journal: Nature Communications · DOI: 10.1038/s41467-021-26223-w · Citations: 60
Matched topics: earth system model
Atlantic Niño is the Atlantic equivalent of El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO), and it has prominent impacts on regional and global climate. Existing studies suggest that the Atlantic Niño may arise from local atmosphere-ocean interaction and is sometimes triggered by the Atlantic Meridional Mode (AMM), with overall weak ENSO contribution. By analyzing observational datasets and performing numerical model experiments, here we show that the Atlantic Niño can be induced by the Indian Ocean Dip…
Turbulence Dictates Bedload Transport in Vegetated Channels Without Dependence on Stem Diameter and Arrangement
Authors: Tian Zhao, Heidi Nepf
Journal: Geophysical Research Letters · DOI: 10.1029/2021gl095316 · Citations: 58
Matched topics: flood
Abstract Vegetation provides habitat and nature‐based solutions to coastal flooding and erosion, drawing significant interest in its restoration, which requires an understanding of sediment transport and retention. Laboratory experiments examined the influence of stem diameter and arrangement on bedload sediment transport by considering arrays of different stem diameter and mixed diameters. Bedload transport rate was observed to depend on turbulent kinetic energy, with no dependence on stem d…
Assemblages of geomorphic units: A building block approach to analysis and interpretation of river character, behaviour, condition and recovery
Authors: Kirstie Fryirs, Gary Brierley
Journal: Earth Surface Processes and Landforms · DOI: 10.1002/esp.5264 · Citations: 56
Matched topics: hydrology, river
Abstract A geomorphic unit is a landform that has been created and reworked by a particular set of earth surface processes. Each geomorphic unit has a particular morphology and sediment properties. Characteristic assemblages and patterns of geomorphic units reflect the use of available energy at any particular location in the landscape. In river systems the mix and balance of erosional and depositional processes creates characteristic, and sometimes distinctive, patterns of geomorphic units a…
Explainable AI reveals new hydroclimatic insights for ecosystem-centric groundwater management
Authors: Debaditya Chakraborty, Hakan Başağaoğlu, Lilianna Gutierrez, Ali Mirchi
Journal: Environmental Research Letters · DOI: 10.1088/1748-9326/ac2fde · Citations: 56
Matched topics: hydrologic model
Trustworthy projections of hydrological droughts are pivotal for identifying the key hydroclimatic factors that affect future groundwater level (GWL) fluctuations in drought-prone karstic aquifers that provide water for human consumption and sustainable ecosystems. Herein, we introduce an explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) framework integrated with scenario-based downscaled climate projections from global circulation models. We use the integrated framework to investigate nonlinear hydr…

Abstract Context From 1999 onwards, China has initiated a large-scale landscape restoration project in the Chinese Loess Plateau, which has had profound but variable impacts on the local ecosystem services supply. The dynamics of ecosystem services throughout the restoration process remain poorly understood. Objectives To analyze the spatial and temporal dynamics in ecosystem services before and after the implementation of the land restoration project, and to understand trade-offs and synergi…
