A strong atmospheric river made landfall in southwestern British Columbia, Canada on November 14th, 2021, bringing two days of intense precipitation to the region. The resulting floods and landslides led to the loss of at least five lives, cut Vancouver off entirely from the rest of Canada by road and rail, and made this the costliest natural disaster in the province’s history. Here we show that when characterised in terms of storm-averaged water vapour transport, the variable typically used …

Drought is a costly natural hazard with far-reaching impacts on agriculture, ecosystem, water supply, and socio-economy. While propagating through the water cycle, drought evolves into different types and affects the natural system and human society. Despite much progress made in recent decades, a synthesis of the characteristics, approaches, processes, and controlling factors of drought propagation is still lacking. We bridge this gap by reviewing the recent progress of drought propagation a…

Trees are one of the most important elements of green infrastructure in cities. Climate change is specifically affecting trees in many European cities. Trees are experiencing negative impacts from the increase in heat waves and droughts, both of which begin, in some cases, early in the year and continue through the growing season. Current studies on the regionalization of climate change indicate that important water reservoirs such as soil and tree canopies have been drying out for years/deca…

Journal: Earth s Future · DOI: 10.1029/2021ef002566 · Citations: 179
Matched topics: climate change
Abstract Climate change and human activities have already caused degradation in a large fraction of vegetation on the Qinghai‐Tibetan Plateau (QTP). Many studies report that climate variability instead of overgrazing has been the primary cause for large‐scale vegetation cover changes on the QTP, for example, Lehnert et al., 2016, https://doi.org/10.1038/srep24367 . However, it remains unclear how human activities (mainly livestock grazing) regulate vegetation dynamics under climate change. Th…

Climate change is an environmental justice issue because it is likely to cause disproportionate harm to low-income countries and low-income populations in higher-income countries. While climate change mitigation and adaptation policies may be able to minimize these harms, they could make them worse unless they are developed and implemented with an eye toward promoting justice and fairness. Those who view climate change as an environmental justice issue should be wary of endorsing policies tha…

Studies have shown that land and climate interact in complex ways through multiple biophysical and biogeochemical feedbacks. In this interaction mechanism, the carbon fixation effect among different land-use types and objective conditions among different regions have significant gaps, leading to the heterogeneous impact of land-use on climate change. This study takes temperature change as the observation index to reflect climate change, and analyzes the process of land use type adjustment aff…

Abstract We use two coupled climate models, GFDL‐CM4 and GFDL‐ESM4, to investigate the physical response of the Southern Ocean to changes in surface wind stress, Antarctic meltwater, and the combined forcing of the two in a pre‐industrial control simulation. The meltwater cools the ocean surface in all regions except the Weddell Sea, where the wind stress warms the near‐surface layer. The limited sensitivity of the Weddell Sea surface layer to the meltwater is due to the spatial distribution …

The thin layer of soil at the earth’s surface supports life, storing water and nutrients for plant uptake. These processes occur in the soil pore space, often half the soil volume, but our understanding of how this volume responds to environmental change is poor. Convention, has been to predict soil porosity, or its reciprocal bulk density (BD), from soil texture using pedotransfer functions (PTFs). A texture based approach, invariant to environmental change, prevents feedback from land use o…

Matched topics: hydrologic model, river, runoff
Runoff prediction is of great significance to flood defense. However, due to the complexity and randomness of the runoff process, it is hard to predict daily runoff accurately, especially for peak runoff. To address this issue, this study proposes an enhanced long short-term memory (LSTM) model for runoff prediction, where novel loss functions are introduced and feature extractors are integrated. Two loss functions (peak error tanh (PET), peak error swish (PES)) are designed to strengthen the…

Abstract Tree restoration is an effective way to store atmospheric carbon and mitigate climate change. However, large-scale tree-cover expansion has long been known to increase evaporation, leading to reduced local water availability and streamflow. More recent studies suggest that increased precipitation, through enhanced atmospheric moisture recycling, can offset this effect. Here we calculate how 900 million hectares of global tree restoration would impact evaporation and precipitation usi…

The demand for construction-grade sand is growing at a tremendous rate and the world is expected to run out of this resource by 2050. Construction-grade sand, hereafter referred to as ‘sand’, can be found in (former) aquatic environments, such as rivers and is a provisioning ecosystem service. Even under controlled circumstances, the practice of extracting the sand from the riverbed and -banks impacts the environment. Unfortunately, many countries lack sand mining regulation policies and in c…

Abstract The character and health of ecosystems worldwide is tightly coupled to changes in Earth’s climate. Theory suggests that ecosystem resilience—the ability of ecosystems to resist and recover from external shocks such as droughts and fires—can be inferred from their natural variability. Here, we quantify vegetation resilience globally with complementary metrics based on two independent long-term satellite records. We first empirically confirm that the recovery rates from large perturbat…

Coastal tidal wetlands are highly altered ecosystems exposed to substantial risk due to widespread and frequent land-use change coupled with sea-level rise, leading to disrupted hydrologic and ecologic functions and ultimately, significant reduction in climate resiliency. Knowing where and when the changes have occurred, and the nature of those changes, is important for coastal communities and natural resource management. Large-scale mapping of coastal tidal wetland changes is extremely diffi…
High-Voltage Manganese Oxide Cathode with Two-Electron Transfer Enabled by a Phosphate Proton Reservoir for Aqueous Zinc Batteries
Authors: Yaozhi Liu, Zengming Qin, Xianpeng Yang, Jie Liu, Xiaoxia Liu, Xiaoqi Sun
Journal: ACS Energy Letters · DOI: 10.1021/acsenergylett.2c00777 · Citations: 87
Matched topics: reservoir
MnO2 cathodes typically undergo one-electron transfer in aqueous zinc batteries. The two-electron MnO2/Mn2+ reaction provides double capacity and higher voltage. However, this requires a highly acidic environment, which challenges the Zn metal anode. Herein, we present a proton reservoir for the MnO2/Mn2+ reaction. Zinc hydrophosphate is codeposited with MnO2 at the cathode. The former deprotonates to release protons and enhances the reduction of MnO2 to Mn2+. The resulting zinc phosphate fur…

Divergent Hydrological Responses to Forest Expansion in Dry and Wet Basins of China: Implications for Future Afforestation Planning
Authors: Baolin Xue, A Yinglan, Guoqiang Wang, David Helman, Ge Sun, Shengli Tao et al.
Journal: Water Resources Research · DOI: 10.1029/2021wr031856 · Citations: 59
Matched topics: hydrology, runoff
Abstract Afforestation to control soil erosion has been implemented throughout China over the past few decades. The long‐term hydrological effects, such as total water yield and baseflow, of this large‐scale anthropogenic activity remain unclear. Using six decades of hydrologic observations and remote sensing data, we explore the hydrological responses to forest expansion in four basins with contrasting climates across China. No significant change in runoff was found for the period 1970–2012 …
