Matched topics: drought

Climate change is predicted to increase the frequency and intensity of extreme events including droughts and large precipitation events or “deluges.” While many studies have focused on the ecological impacts of individual events (e.g., a heat wave), there is growing recognition that when extreme events co-occur as compound extremes, (e.g., a heatwave during a drought), the additive effects on ecosystems are often greater than either extreme alone. In this study, we assessed a unique type of e…

Satellite Laser Altimetry Reveals a Net Water Mass Gain in Global Lakes With Spatial Heterogeneity in the Early 21st Century

Authors: Shuangxiao Luo, Chunqiao Song, Linghong Ke, Pengfei Zhan, Chenyu Fan, Kai Liu et al.

Journal: Geophysical Research Letters · DOI: 10.1029/2021gl096676 · Citations: 72

Matched topics: hydrology

Abstract Lake water storage changes are important factors that influence the climate, hydrological cycle, and environments. However, long‐term estimation of global lake storage changes is challenging because historical in‐situ hydrological observations worldwide are rarely available. Benefiting from the laser altimeter ICESat and ICESat‐2, we comprehensively assessed water level and volume changes in global natural lakes larger than 10 km 2 during 2003–2020. The 6,567 lakes observable by ICES…


The Potential of Biochar to Enhance the Water Retention Properties of Sandy Agricultural Soils

Authors: Elizaphan Otieno Ndede, Soboda Kurebito, Olusegun Idowu, Takeo Tokunari, Keiji Jindo

Journal: Agronomy · DOI: 10.3390/agronomy12020311 · Citations: 72

Matched topics: hydrology

The impact of climate change has become increasingly severe in drylands, resulting in heat stress and water deficiency and, consequently, reducing agricultural production. Biochar plays an important role in improving soil fertility. The properties of sandy soils where water deficiency occurs with a greater frequency need to be enhanced by biochar amendments to increase the water retention capacity (WRC). Few studies have reported the effects of biochar on the readily available water (RAW) of …

Predictive performance of ensemble hydroclimatic forecasts: Verification metrics, diagnostic plots and forecast attributes

Authors: Zeqing Huang, Tongtiegang Zhao

Journal: Wiley Interdisciplinary Reviews Water · DOI: 10.1002/wat2.1580 · Citations: 61

Matched topics: hydrology, streamflow

Abstract Predictive performance is one of the most important issues for practical applications of ensemble hydroclimatic forecasts. While different forecasting studies tend to use different combinations of verification metrics and diagnostic plots, this paper presents a literature survey of popular verification metrics, diagnostic plots and their corresponding forecast attributes. Twenty metrics to quantify predictive performance of ensemble, deterministic and categorical forecasts are detail…


Dynamic impacts of changes in river structure and connectivity on water quality under urbanization in the Yangtze River Delta plain

Authors: Zhihui Yu, Qiang Wang, Youpeng Xu, Miao Lu, Zhixin Lin, Bin Gao

Journal: Ecological Indicators · DOI: 10.1016/j.ecolind.2022.108582 · Citations: 59

Matched topics: river

The deterioration of river water quality in urbanized areas is getting more serious, and affects the regional ecology and development of social economy; however, its mechanisms of dynamic variation is still an open question. In this study, we detected the dynamics of water quality and its driven mechanisms in the Yangtze River Delta plain, one of the most developed areas in China. The results showed that the spatial agglomerations of dissolved oxygen (DO), ammonia nitrogen (NH3-N), and total …
