This study is focused on 6 catchments in Tunisia, in North Africa, under a semi-arid climate where daily river discharge and precipitation observations are available between 1992 and 2006. The distributed hydrological model LISFLOOD has been compared with a lumped model, GR4J, to reproduce river runoff and floods, using observed rainfall interpolated from rain gauges and from the ERA5 reanalysis. LISFLOOD and GR4J with their default parameters have little skill in Tunisia, but when calibrated…

Matched topics: drought

Central Europe has been experiencing unprecedented droughts during the last decades, stressing the decrease in tree water availability. However, the assessment of physiological drought stress is challenging, and feedback between soil and vegetation is often omitted because of scarce belowground data. Here we aimed to model Swiss forests’ water availability during the 2015 and 2018 droughts by implementing the mechanistic soil-vegetation-atmosphere-transport (SVAT) model LWF-Brook90 taking adv…

South Asia is home to one of the fastest-growing populations in Asia, and human activities are leaving indelible marks on the land surface. Yet the likelihood of successive observed droughts in South Asia (SA) and its four subregions (R-1: semi-arid, R-2: arid, R-3: subtropical wet, and R-4: tropical wet and dry) remains poorly understood. Using the state-of-the-art self-calibrated Palmer Drought Severity Index (scPDSI), we examined the impact of different natural ocean variability modes on t…

Matched topics: climate change, earth system model

Climate change is expected to profoundly affect key food production sectors, including fisheries and agriculture. However, the potential impacts of climate change on these sectors are rarely considered jointly, especially below national scales, which can mask substantial variability in how communities will be affected. Here, we combine socioeconomic surveys of 3,008 households and intersectoral multi-model simulation outputs to conduct a sub-national analysis of the potential impacts of clima…


Biophysical impacts of northern vegetation changes on seasonal warming patterns

Authors: Xu Lian, Sujong Jeong, Chang‐Eui Park, Hao Xu, Laurent Z. X. Li, Tao Wang et al.

Journal: Nature Communications · DOI: 10.1038/s41467-022-31671-z · Citations: 83

Matched topics: seasonal, land surface model, earth system model

The seasonal greening of Northern Hemisphere (NH) ecosystems, due to extended growing periods and enhanced photosynthetic activity, could modify near-surface warming by perturbing land-atmosphere energy exchanges, yet this biophysical control on warming seasonality is underexplored. By performing experiments with a coupled land-atmosphere model, here we show that summer greening effectively dampens NH warming by −0.15 ± 0.03 °C for 1982–2014 due to enhanced evapotranspiration. However, greeni…

Matched topics: climate change

Climate change impacts on Europe’s forests are becoming visible much sooner than previously anticipated. The increase in natural disturbances leads to tree mortality and raises concerns about the forest’s adaptive potential to sustain vital ecosystem services. In this context, the regeneration phase is crucial and comprises the largest potential to adapt to new environmental conditions with long lasting implications. Yet, forest regeneration is particularly susceptible to climatic changes due…

Abstract. The most accurate rainfall–runoff predictions are currently based on deep learning. There is a concern among hydrologists that the predictive accuracy of data-driven models based on deep learning may not be reliable in extrapolation or for predicting extreme events. This study tests that hypothesis using long short-term memory (LSTM) networks and an LSTM variant that is architecturally constrained to conserve mass. The LSTM network (and the mass-conserving LSTM variant) remained rel…

Journal: Climate Dynamics · DOI: 10.1007/s00382-022-06376-0 · Citations: 64

Matched topics: hydrology

Abstract There has been a statement that the satellite and reanalyses significantly overestimate snow depths (SDs) as compared with in-situ observations over the Tibetan Plateau (TP). The inconsistency may be partly due to representations related to different spatial resolutions. To further clarify matters of scale, this work estimates and compares the fractional snow cover (FSC) from MODIS (500 m), SDs from Sentinel-1 C-band SAR (1 km), ERA5-Land (9 km) and ERA5 (31 km), together with ground…

Matched topics: hydrologic model

Abstract Satellite observations of snow‐covered regions in the microwave range have the potential to retrieve essential climate variables such as snow height. This requires a precise understanding of how microwave scattering is linked to snow microstructural properties (density, grain size, grain shape and arrangement). This link has so far relied on empirical adjustments of the theories, precluding the development of robust retrieval algorithms. Here we solve this problem by introducing a ne…

Abstract. Recent warm atmospheric conditions have damaged the ice shelves of the Antarctic Peninsula through surface melt and hydrofracturing and could potentially initiate future collapse of other Antarctic ice shelves. However, model projections with similar greenhouse gas scenarios suggest large differences in cumulative 21st-century surface melting. So far it remains unclear whether these differences are due to variations in warming rates in individual models or whether local feedback mec…


The role of stream restoration in enhancing ecosystem services

Authors: P.F.M. Verdonschot, R.C.M. Verdonschot

Journal: Hydrobiologia · DOI: 10.1007/s10750-022-04918-5 · Citations: 51

Matched topics: hydrology, streamflow

Abstract Striving for an integrated semi-natural stream-floodplain system as restoration target would optimally serve biodiversity and the provisioning of ecosystem services. This pursuit is currently limited by multiple pressures and constraints that come with, amongst others, a high human population density and intensive land-use. To be able to weigh the ecological and societal needs in lowland-stream watersheds, we analysed the developments in lowland-stream restoration in relation to the …

Sources of micro(nano)plastics and interaction with co-existing pollutants in wastewater treatment plants

Authors: Peng Liu, Jiamin Dai, Kerang Huang, Zeyuan Yang, Zixuan Zhang, Xuetao Guo

Journal: Critical Reviews in Environmental Science and Technology · DOI: 10.1080/10643389.2022.2095844 · Citations: 48

Matched topics: runoff

Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are the important source of micro(nano)plastics (MNPs) and pollutants (e.g. chemicals, antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and pathogens) in natural environment, where the interaction in these co-existing substances has become an increasing concern. This work outlines the sources of MNPs and their interaction with pollutants in WWTPs, and assesses the potential risks after being discarded into natural environment. The sources of MNPs in WWTPs mainly include …

A Central Asia hydrologic monitoring dataset for food and water security applications in Afghanistan

Authors: Amy McNally, Jossy P. Jacob, Kristi R. Arsenault, Kimberly Slinski, D. P. Sarmiento, Andrew Hoell et al.

Journal: Earth system science data · DOI: 10.5194/essd-14-3115-2022 · Citations: 45

Matched topics: hydrology, hydrologic model, land surface model, earth system model

Abstract. From the Hindu Kush mountains to the Registan Desert, Afghanistan is a diverse landscape where droughts, floods, conflict, and economic market accessibility pose challenges for agricultural livelihoods and food security. The ability to remotely monitor environmental conditions is critical to support decision making for humanitarian assistance. The Famine Early Warning Systems Network (FEWS NET) Land Data Assimilation System (FLDAS) global and Central Asia data streams provide inform…


Hydrochemical and quality assessment of irrigation water at the trans-himalayan high-altitude regions of Leh, Ladakh, India

Authors: Arup Giri, Vijay K. Bharti, Sahil Kalia, Krishna Kumar, Mayarngam Khansu

Journal: Applied Water Science · DOI: 10.1007/s13201-022-01716-1 · Citations: 45

Matched topics: hydrology, surface water, irrigation

Abstract A total of seventy irrigation water samples were collected from Leh, Ladakh, India, to determine their hydrochemistry profile and water quality for irrigation purposes. Water quality indices such as total hardness (TH), residual sodium carbonate (RSC), potential salinity (PS), permeability index (PI), Kelly’s ratio (KR), sodium absorption ratio (SAR), corrosivity ratio (CR), and chloroalkaline indices (CAI) were measured. The Piper diagram, Durov’s diagram, and United States Salinity…
