Climate change is expected to increase the frequency and severity of droughts. These events, which can cause significant perturbations of terrestrial ecosystems and potentially long‐term impacts on ecosystem structure and functioning after the drought has subsided are often called ‘drought legacies’. While the immediate effects of drought on ecosystems have been comparatively well characterized, our broader understanding of drought legacies is just emerging. Drought legacies can relate to all…

Abstract Irrigated agriculture accounts for ∼90% of anthropogenic freshwater consumption, is deployed on 22% of cultivated land, and provides 40% of global food production. Expanding irrigation onto currently underperforming rainfed croplands is crucial to meet future global food demand without further agricultural expansion and associated encroachment of natural ecosystems. Establishing irrigation is also a potential climate adaptation solution to alleviate heat- and water-stress to crops an…

Restoration of coastal wetlands has the potential to deliver both climate change mitigation, called blue carbon, and adaptation benefits to coastal communities, as well as supporting biodiversity and providing additional ecosystem services. Valuing carbon sequestration may incentivize restoration projects; however, it requires development of rigorous methods for quantifying blue carbon sequestered during coastal wetland restoration. We describe the development of a blue carbon accounting mode…

How inequality fuels climate change: The climate case for a Green New Deal

Authors: Fergus Green, Noel Healy

Matched topics: climate change

Recent proposals in the US and elsewhere aim to tackle climate change and socioeconomic inequalities together through a Green New Deal (GND). GND proposals have been criticized by high-profile advocates of carbon-centric climate policies—advocates who do not perceive socioeconomic inequalities to be significant drivers of climate change and who argue that GNDs’ wider agenda will undermine decarbonization efforts. Here, we show that socioeconomic inequalities drive emissions-intensive consumpt…

Abstract Predicting terrestrial carbon, C, budgets and carbon‐climate feedbacks strongly relies on our ability to accurately model interactions between vegetation, C and water cycles, and the atmosphere. However, C fluxes simulated by global, process‐based terrestrial biosphere models (TBMs) remain subject to large uncertainties, partly due to unknown or poorly calibrated parameters. This is because TBMs have not routinely been confronted against C cycle related datasets within a statistical …

Abstract. A climatic anomaly can potentially affect the hydrological behaviour of a catchment for several years. This article presents a new approach to quantifying this multi-year hydrological memory, using exclusively streamflow and climate data. Rather than providing a single value of catchment memory, we aim to describe how this memory fades over time. The precipitation–runoff relationship is analyzed through the concept of elasticity. Elasticity quantifies the change in one quantity caus…

Abstract Methane (CH 4 ) is a potent greenhouse gas with a warming potential 84 times that of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) over a 20‐year period. Atmospheric CH 4 concentrations have been rising since the nineteenth century but the cause of large increases post‐2007 is disputed. Tropical wetlands are thought to account for ∼20% of global CH 4 emissions, but African tropical wetlands are understudied and their contribution is uncertain. In this work, we use the first airborne measurements of CH 4 sa…

Abstract. Against the backdrop of global change, in terms of both climate and demography, there is a pressing need for monitoring of the global water cycle. The publicly available global database is very limited in its spatial and temporal coverage worldwide. Moreover, the acquisition of in situ data and their delivery to the database have been in decline since the late 1970s, be it for economical or political reasons. Given the insufficient monitoring from in situ gauge networks, and with no…

Rivers can abruptly shift pathways in rare events called avulsions, which cause devastating floods. The controls on avulsion locations are poorly understood as a result of sparse data on such features. We analyzed nearly 50 years of satellite imagery and documented 113 avulsions across the globe that indicate three distinct controls on avulsion location. Avulsions on fans coincide with valley-confinement change, whereas avulsions on deltas are primarily clustered within the backwater zone, in…

Large Scale Evaluation of Relationships Between Hydrologic Signatures and Processes

Authors: Hilary McMillan, Sebastian Gnann, Ryoko Araki

Journal: Water Resources Research · DOI: 10.1029/2021wr031751 · Citations: 47

Matched topics: hydrologic model, streamflow

Abstract Dominant processes in a watershed are those that most strongly control hydrologic function and response. Estimating dominant processes enables hydrologists to design physically realistic streamflow generation models, design management interventions, and understand how climate and landscape features control hydrologic function. A recent approach to estimating dominant processes is through their link to hydrologic signatures, which are metrics that characterize the streamflow timeserie…

Abstract We identify global observed changes in dry‐spell characteristics that are consistent with future projections and involve common physical drivers. Future projections of longer dry spells in the dry season increase vegetation water stress and can negatively impact perennial vegetation. Lengthening dry season dry spells of up to ∼2 days per decade over South America and southern Africa and shortening of similar magnitude over West Africa display a qualitatively consistent pattern to fut…

Groundwater irrigation reduces overall poverty but increases socioeconomic vulnerability in a semiarid region of southern India

Authors: Chloé Fischer, Claire Aubron, Aurelie Trouvé, M. Sekhar, Laurent Ruiz

Journal: Scientific Reports · DOI: 10.1038/s41598-022-12814-0 · Citations: 42

Matched topics: water management, irrigation

The development of irrigation is generally considered an efficient way to reduce poverty in rural areas, although its impact on the inequality between farmers is more debated. In fact, assessing the impact of water management on different categories of farmers requires resituating it within the different dimensions of the local socio-technical context. We tested this hypothesis in a semi-arid area in Karnataka, South India, where groundwater irrigation was introduced five decades ago. Using t…

Soil Salinity Variations and Associated Implications for Agriculture and Land Resources Development Using Remote Sensing Datasets in Central Asia

Authors: Simon Measho, Fadong Li, Petri Pellikka, Chao Tian, Hubert Hirwa, Ning Xu et al.

Journal: Remote Sensing · DOI: 10.3390/rs14102501 · Citations: 42

Matched topics: hydrology

Global agricultural lands are becoming saline because of human activities that have affected crop production and food security worldwide. In this study, the spatiotemporal variability of soil electrical conductivity (EC) in Central Asia was evaluated based on high-resolution multi-year predicted soil EC data, Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) land cover product, precipitation, reference evapotranspiration, population count, and soil moisture datasets. We primarily detected…

Relationship between ecosystem services and rural residential well-being in the Xin’an river Basin, China

Authors: Linrong Fu, Yisheng Ren, Lin Lu, Huifeng Chen

Journal: Ecological Indicators · DOI: 10.1016/j.ecolind.2022.108997 · Citations: 41

Matched topics: river

The River Basin Ecological Compensation Policy, which is an important starting point for the realization of ecological civilization, has changed the perceptions of the local residents regarding ecosystem services (ES) and human well-being (HWB). Based on the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment framework, we performed a face-to-face questionnaire-based survey among 807 randomly selected rural residents in the Xin’an River Basin (XARB). Resident cognitive status was evaluated upstream and downstrea…
