Abstract Extreme event attribution aims to elucidate the link between global climate change, extreme weather events, and the harms experienced on the ground by people, property, and nature. It therefore allows the disentangling of different drivers of extreme weather from human-induced climate change and hence provides valuable information to adapt to climate change and to assess loss and damage. However, providing such assessments systematically is currently out of reach. This is due to limi…

Abstract Terrestrial ecosystems are essential for food and water security and CO 2 uptake. Ecosystem function is dependent on the availability of soil moisture, yet it is unclear how climate change will alter soil moisture limitation on vegetation. Here we use an ecosystem index that distinguishes energy and water limitations in Earth system model simulations to show a widespread regime shift from energy to water limitation between 1980 and 2100. This shift is found in both space and time. Wh…

Abstract Lakes have been highlighted as one of the largest natural sources of the greenhouse gas methane (CH 4 ) to the atmosphere. However, global estimates of lake CH 4 fluxes over the last 20 years exhibit widely different results ranging from 6 to 185 Tg CH 4 yr −1 , which is to a large extent driven by differences in lake areas and thaw season lengths used. This has generated uncertainty regarding both lake fluxes and the global CH 4 budget. This study constrains global lake water CH 4 e…

Abstract Data assimilation in high-order ice flow modeling is a challenging and computationally costly task, yet crucial to find ice thickness and ice flow parameter distributions that are consistent with ice flow mechanics and mass balance while best matching observations. Failing to find these distributions that are required as initial conditions leads to a disequilibrium between mass balance and ice flow, resulting in nonphysical transient effects in the prognostic model. Here we tackle th…

Matched topics: hydropower
The Central Asian area is confronted with a number of acute obstacles as it attempts to transition to a long-term electrical power supply. Small-scale hydropower systems may be a viable answer to these problems. Central Asian nations’ hydropower resources are allocated unevenly. Regardless, it remains the most exploitable renewable energy source in the area, with both Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan possessing some of the world’s highest hydropower potential. Nonetheless, for fossil-fuel-rich natio…

(mg/l), yielded the best accuracy among all alternatives, implying the role importance of (B-RF) feature selection. Finally, the spatial salinity distribution assessment in the study area ascertained the high predictability potential of the ANFIS-OA hybrid with B-RF feature selection compared to other paradigms. The most important novelty of this research is using a robust framework comprised of the non-linear data filtering technique and a new hybrid neuro-computing approach, which can be co…

Spatial change and scale dependence of built-up land expansion and landscape pattern evolution—Case study of affected area of the lower Yellow River
Authors: Dan Yang, Pengyan Zhang, Ling Jiang, Ying Zhang, Zhenyue Liu, Tianqi Rong
Journal: Ecological Indicators · DOI: 10.1016/j.ecolind.2022.109123 · Citations: 63
Matched topics: river
Land use change are essential for sustaining human wellbeing, but empirical studies have shown that the urban development requires built-up land, yet, the disorderly expansion of built-up land poses a threat to sustaining the stability of landscape patterns. Reconciling these seemingly conflicting results requires better understanding how the built-up land expansion and the landscape patterns change relationship varies with space and scales. Here we systematically analyzed the landscape patte…

Predicting Dynamic Riverine Nitrogen Export in Unmonitored Watersheds: Leveraging Insights of AI from Data-Rich Regions
Authors: Rui Xiong, Yi Zheng, Yi Zheng, Nengwang Chen, Qing Tian, Wei Liu et al.
Journal: Environmental Science & Technology · DOI: 10.1021/acs.est.2c02232 · Citations: 59
Matched topics: runoff, earth system model
Terrestrial export of nitrogen is a critical Earth system process, but its global dynamics remain difficult to predict at a high spatiotemporal resolution. Here, we use deep learning (DL) to model daily riverine nitrogen export in response to hydrometeorological and anthropogenic drivers. Long short-term memory (LSTM) models for the daily concentration and flux of dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) were built in a coastal watershed in southeastern China with a typical subtropical monsoon clim…
Factor Market Failures and the Adoption of Irrigation in Rwanda
Authors: Maria Jones, Florence Kondylis, John Loeser, Jeremy Magruder
Journal: American Economic Review · DOI: 10.1257/aer.20210059 · Citations: 59
Matched topics: irrigation
Factor market failures can limit adoption of profitable technologies. We leverage a plot-level spatial regression discontinuity design in the context of irrigation use by farmers provided free access to water. Using irrigation boosts profits by 43–62 percent. Yet, farmers only irrigate 30 percent of plots because of labor costs. We demonstrate inefficient irrigation use, by showing farmers irrigating one plot reduce their irrigation use on other plots. This inefficiency is largest for smaller…

Costs and benefits of combined sewer overflow management strategies at the European scale
Authors: Emanuele Quaranta, Stéphan Fuchs, Erik Liefting, Alma Schellart, Alberto Pistocchi
Journal: Journal of Environmental Management · DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2022.115629 · Citations: 55
Matched topics: hydrologic model, water management
Combined sewer overflows (CSOs) may represent a significant source of pollution, but they are difficult to quantify at a large scale (e.g. regional or national), due to a lack of accessible data. In the present study, we use a large scale, 6-parameter, lumped hydrological model to perform a screening level assessment of different CSO management scenarios for the European Union and United Kingdom, considering prevention and treatment strategies. For each scenario we quantify the potential redu…
