Abstract Climate change is expected to impact the functioning of the entire Earth system. However, detecting changes in ecosystem dynamics and attributing such change to anthropogenic climate change has proved difficult. Here we analyse the vegetation dynamics of 100 sites representative of the diversity of terrestrial ecosystem types using remote-sensing data spanning the past 40 years and a dynamic model of plant growth, forced by climate reanalysis data. We detect a change in vegetation ac…

Quantifying the resilience of vegetated ecosystems is key to constraining both present-day and future global impacts of anthropogenic climate change. Here we apply both empirical and theoretical resilience metrics to remotely-sensed vegetation data in order to examine the role of water availability and variability in controlling vegetation resilience at the global scale. We find a concise global relationship where vegetation resilience is greater in regions with higher water availability. We …

Abstract. State-of-the-art Earth system models typically employ grid spacings of O(100 km), which is too coarse to explicitly resolve main drivers of the flow of energy and matter across the Earth system. In this paper, we present the new ICON-Sapphire model configuration, which targets a representation of the components of the Earth system and their interactions with a grid spacing of 10 km and finer. Through the use of selected simulation examples, we demonstrate that ICON-Sapphire can (i) …

Matched topics: climate change
Abstract Under climate change, species unable to track their niche via range shifts are largely reliant on genetic variation to adapt and persist. Genomic vulnerability predictions are used to identify populations that lack the necessary variation, particularly at climate-relevant genes. However, hybridization as a source of novel adaptive variation is typically ignored in genomic vulnerability studies. We estimated environmental niche models and genomic vulnerability for closely related spec…

Developing stress-tolerant plants continues to be the goal of breeders due to their realized yields and stability. Plant responses to drought have been studied in many different plant species, but the occurrence of stress memory as well as the potential mechanisms for memory regulation is not yet well described. It has been observed that plants hold on to past events in a way that adjusts their response to new challenges without altering their genetic constitution. This ability could enable t…

Abstract River flood risk in Europe could rise to unprecedented levels due to global warming and continued development in flood-prone areas. Here, we appraise the potential of four key adaptation strategies to reduce flood risk across Europe based on flood risk modelling and cost–benefit analysis. We find that reducing flood peaks using detention areas is economically the most attractive option. In a scenario without climate mitigation (3 °C global warming), they can lower projected flood los…

Abstract Large‐scale river models are being refined over coastal regions to improve the scientific understanding of coastal processes, hazards and responses to climate change. However, coarse mesh resolutions and approximations in physical representations of tidal rivers limit the performance of such models at resolving the complex flow dynamics especially near the river‐ocean interface, resulting in inaccurate simulations of flood inundation. In this research, we propose a machine learning (…

We showed cocirculation of three major SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern (VOCs; Alpha, Delta, and Gamma) in this species, long after their last detection in humans. Interestingly, the viral sequences recovered from WTD were highly divergent from SARS-CoV-2 sequences recovered from humans, suggesting rapid adaptation of the virus in WTD. The impact of these …

Matched topics: river, surface water
The artificial breeding of freshwater crabs in China has become the main source, accounting for 45.69 % of the total output in 2020. However, microplastics widely exist in ponds due to the addition of meals, and the aging and breakage of plastic tools, and people know little about the occurrence of microplastics in the environment and the tissues of crabs during the cultivation of crabs in ponds. In this study, the abundance and characteristics of microplastics in ponds and crabs were studied…

Matched topics: drought
Yangtze River Basin, China As agricultural drought originates from meteorological drought, exploring the propagation from meteorological to agricultural drought is an important step in providing early warning of agricultural drought. In this study, Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) and Improved Soil Moisture Anomaly Percentage Index (ISMAPI) were adopted to indicate meteorological and agricultural droughts, respectively. The propagation time from meteorological drought to agricultural dr…

Matched topics: runoff
Nutrient runoff from agriculture practices poses a significant risk to waterway health and can have long-lasting and complex implications for the environment, ecosystems, and the human population. Consequently, a systematic quantitative literature review (SQLR) was conducted to identify different nutrient runoff mitigation strategies (NRMS) that are currently used globally to prevent or remediate environmental damage from excessive agricultural fertilisation. Empirical data on the outcomes fr…

Can Hydrological Models Benefit From Using Global Soil Moisture, Evapotranspiration, and Runoff Products as Calibration Targets?
Authors: Yiwen Mei, Juliane Mai, Hong Xuan, Andrew D. Gronewold, Howard W. Reeves, Sandra M. Eberts et al.
Journal: Water Resources Research · DOI: 10.1029/2022wr032064 · Citations: 66
Matched topics: hydrologic model, runoff, streamflow
Abstract Hydrological models are usually calibrated to in‐situ streamflow observations with reasonably long and uninterrupted records. This is challenging for poorly gage or ungaged basins where such information is not available. Even for gaged basins, the single‐objective calibration to gaged streamflow cannot guarantee reliable forecasts because, as has been documented elsewhere, the inverse problem is mathematically ill‐posed. Therefore, the inclusion of other observations, and the reprodu…
Changes in soil surface properties under simulated rainfall and the effect of surface roughness on runoff, infiltration and soil loss

Matched topics: hydrology, runoff
Soil erosion by water is a result of detachment of particles or small aggregates from the soil surface followed by transport of the detached material. One of the elements that affects surface runoff and soil erosion is the soil surface roughness (SSR). Prior research reports that increasing SSR reduces generation of runoff and soil loss. In addition to that, it is widely reported that across-slope oriented roughness is better at controlling soil and water losses. However, to date there have b…
Cross-sectoral impacts of the 2018–2019 Central European drought and climate resilience in the German part of the Elbe River basin

including the cities of Berlin and Hamburg and contributing about 18% to the German GDP. We employ meteorological, hydrological and socio-economic data to build a comprehensive picture of the drought severity, its multiple effects and cross-sectoral consequences in the basin. Time series of different drought indices illustrate the severity of the 2018-2019 drought and how it progressed from meteorological water deficits via soil water depletion towards low groundwater levels and river runoff,…
Distribution and risk assessment of microplastics in Liujiaxia Reservoir on the upper Yellow River

Matched topics: river, reservoir
Microplastics (MPSs) distribution in global freshwater systems is extensively reported, but the distribution of MPSs in reservoirs of the Yellow River has rarely been studied. To fill in this gap, we systematically investigated the distribution of MPSs in surface water and bank sediments gleaned from Liujiaxia Reservoir of the upper Yellow River for the first time and conducted an ecological risk assessment in succession in this work. The results showed that the main polymer types of MPSs in …

Matched topics: hydrology
Abstract Riverbank migration has historically been seen as a risk to infrastructure that can be combated through channelization, bank stabilization, and sediment trapping. The physical processes involved with riverbank erosion and deposition are well defined, yet the solutions to equations that describe these processes are computationally and data intensive over large domains. While current understanding of large‐scale river channel mobility largely comes from reach‐ and watershed‐scale obser…
