Of particular importance in a world of increasing water scarcity is the temporal and spatial relationship between a shortage in rainfall—meteorological drought—and a shortage in available water, or hydrological drought. Propagation time from meteorological to hydrological drought should be calculated at a higher (sub-monthly) temporal resolution with considerations for spatial expansion. A new framework for propagation time calculation from one index to another is established that uses the ru…

Matched topics: drought
The ability to avoid dehydration is a drought resistance mechanism becoming increasingly more important even in temperate regions. In wheat, dehydration avoidance can be associated with a maintained canopy cooling during dry periods. However, in an average year under temperate conditions, drought periods are rather short which makes it difficult to routinely screen for drought avoidance using canopy temperature (CT). Furthermore, confounding factors such as differences in height, shoot biomas…

Matched topics: climate change
Abstract Alarming rates of environmental change have catalyzed scholars to call for fundamental transformations in social‐political and economic relations. Yet cautionary tales about how power and politics are constitutive of these efforts fill the literature. We show how a relational framing of adaptation and transformation demands a political, cross‐scalar, and socionatural analysis to probe the affects and effects of climate change and better grasp how transformative change unfolds. We bri…

Abstract. Sequestration of soil organic carbon (SOC) on cropland has been proposed as a climate change mitigation strategy to reduce global greenhouse gas (GHG) concentrations in the atmosphere, which in particular is needed to achieve the targets proposed in the Paris Agreement to limit the increase in atmospheric temperature to well below 2 ∘C. We analyze the historical evolution and future development of cropland SOC using the global process-based biophysical model LPJmL, which was recentl…

Matched topics: water management
Evapotranspiration (ET) plays an important role in coupling the global energy, water, and biogeochemical cycles and explains ecosystem responses to global environmental change. However, quantifying and mapping the spatiotemporal distribution of ET across a large area is still a challenge, which limits our understanding of how a given ecosystem functions under a changing climate. This also poses a challenge to water managers, farmers, and ranchers who often rely on accurate estimates of ET to …

Abstract. Topography exerts significant influences on the incoming solar radiation at the land surface. A few stand-alone regional and global atmospheric models have included parameterizations for sub-grid topographic effects on solar radiation. However, nearly all Earth system models (ESMs) that participated in the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP6) use a plane-parallel (PP) radiative transfer scheme that assumes that the terrain is flat. In this study, we incorporated a well-vali…

Given the number of fish-bearing streams with multiple stormwater inputs, large-scale campaigns to identify 6-PPDQ sources and evaluate mitigation strategies will require sensitive, high-throughput analytical methods. We report the development and optimization of a direct sampling tandem mass spectrometry method for semiquantitative 6-PPDQ…

The intensity of land use and management in permanent grasslands affects both biodiversity and important ecosystem services. Comprehensive knowledge about these intensities is a crucial factor for sustainable decision-making in landscape policy. For meadows, the management intensity can be described by proxies such as the mowing frequency, usually, a higher number of cuts indicate higher intensities. Dense time series of medium resolution (10–30 m) remote sensing data are suitable for the det…

Abstract The redistribution of hillslope soil water during and after rainstorms is affected by soil properties and topography. Therefore, understanding how soil‐terrain attributes affect the soil volumetric water content (VWC) distribution under various catchment storages is a prerequisite for accurate hydrological modeling. Herein, the relationships between soil‐terrain attributes and soil VWC were examined in a steep (average slope = 60%), forested, zero‐order catchment. Detailed topography…
Impact of controlled drainage on subsurface drain flow and nitrate load: A synthesis of studies across the U.S. Midwest and Southeast

Controlled drainage (CD), sometimes called drainage water management, is a practice whereby the drainage system outflow is managed during specific periods to retain more water in the field. Although CD has been shown to reduce downstream nitrate-N (NO3–N) load, seasonal patterns have been less consistent which can potentially impact the effectiveness of conservation practices. The main objective of this study was to assess the regional and seasonal impact of conventional free drainage (FD) a…
Automatic mapping of national surface water with OpenStreetMap and Sentinel-2 MSI data using deep learning

Matched topics: surface water
Large-scale mapping activities can benefit from the vastly increasing availability of earth observation (EO) data, especially when combined with volunteered geographical information (VGI) using machine learning (ML). High-resolution maps of inland surface water bodies are important for water supply and natural disaster mitigation as well as for monitoring, managing, and preserving landscapes and ecosystems. In this paper, we propose an automatic surface water mapping workflow by training a de…
Soil salinity variations and cotton growth under long-term mulched drip irrigation in saline-alkali land of arid oasis

Matched topics: hydrologic model, irrigation
Abstract The sustainable development and utilization of saline-alkali land are closely related to holding fast the minimum cultivated land area of China. The change of soil salt in cotton field under long-term mulched drip irrigation (MDI) is connected with the development of the national cotton industry. From 2015 to 2019, five cotton fields with different applying years of MDI, which were reclaimed in 2004, 2008, 2010, 2012 and 2015 respectively and were saline-alkali wasteland before, were…
