NAC (NAM, ATAF1,2, and CUC2) transcription factors (TFs) play critical roles in controlling plant growth, development, and abiotic stress responses. However, few studies have examined NAC proteins related to drought stress tolerance in rose (Rosa chinensis). Here, we identified a drought- and abscisic acid (ABA)-induced NAC TF, RcNAC091, that localizes to the nucleus and has transcriptional activation activity. Virus-induced silencing of RcNAC091 resulted in decreased drought stress tolerance…

Abstract. As a genre of physics-informed machine learning, differentiable process-based hydrologic models (abbreviated as δ or delta models) with regionalized deep-network-based parameterization pipelines were recently shown to provide daily streamflow prediction performance closely approaching that of state-of-the-art long short-term memory (LSTM) deep networks. Meanwhile, δ models provide a full suite of diagnostic physical variables and guaranteed mass conservation. Here, we ran experiment…

Abstract Streamflow prediction in ungauged basins (PUB) is challenging, and Long Short‐Term Memory (LSTM) is widely used to for such predictions, owing to its excellent migration performance. Traditional LSTM forced by meteorological data and catchment attribute data barely highlight the optimum data integration strategy for LSTM and its migration from data‐rich basins to ungauged ones. In this study, we experimented with 1,897 global catchments and found that LSTM‐corrected Global Hydrologic…

Abstract Decades of research have illuminated the underlying ingredients that determine the scope of evolutionary responses to climate change. The field of evolutionary biology therefore stands ready to take what it has learned about influences upon the rate of adaptive evolution—such as population demography, generation time, and standing genetic variation—and apply it to assess if and how populations can evolve fast enough to “keep pace” with climate change. Here, our review highlights what…

Freshwater pollution by nitrate is a major threat to human and ecosystem health. Basin-scale studies on nitrate pollution generally focus separately on surface water or on groundwater bodies, thus the role played by their interaction on nitrate concentrations, possibly including also agricultural irrigation, is often overlooked and so is addressed here in the intensively irrigated hydro-system of the Oglio River basin (Northern Italy). Tracers of groundwater recharge (stable water isotopes an…
Enhancing rice production sustainability and resilience via reactivating small water bodies for irrigation and drainage

Rice farming threatens freshwater resources, while also being increasingly vulnerable to drought due to climate change. Rice farming needs to become more sustainable and resilient to climate change by improving irrigation drainage systems. Small water bodies, used to store drainage water and supply irrigation in traditional rice farming systems have gradually been abandoned in recent decades. This has resulted in a higher water footprint (WF) associated with rice farming due to increased fres…

Regional effects of farming on hydrology are associated mostly with irrigation. In this work, we show how rainfed agriculture can also leave large-scale imprints. The extent and speed of farming expansion across the South American plains over the past four decades provide an unprecedented case of the effects of rainfed farming on hydrology. Remote sensing analysis shows that as annual crops replaced native vegetation and pastures, floods gradually doubled their coverage, increasing their sens…

Abstract The oceans are acidifying in response to the oceanic uptake of anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) from the atmosphere, yet the global‐scale progression of this acidification has been poorly documented so far by observations. Here, we fill this gap and use an updated version of the in situ and satellite observation‐based product OceanSODA‐ETHZ to determine the trends and drivers of the surface ocean aragonite saturation state (Ω ar ) and pH = –log([H + ]) (total scale) over the last…

It is established that dams decrease river connectivity; however, previous global scale studies of river fragmentation focused on a small subset of the largest dams. In the United States, mid-sized dams, which are too small for global databases, account for 96% of major anthropogenic structures and 48% of reservoir storage. We conduct a national evaluation of the evolution of anthropogenic river bifurcation over time that includes more than 50,000 nationally inventoried dams. Mid-sized dams a…

. Despite their widespread distribution in the atmosphere, the combined impact of these species on Earth’s radiative balance remains unknown. Here we show that short-lived halogens exert a substantial indirect cooling effect at present (-0.13 ± 0.03 watts per square metre) that arises from halogen-mediated radiative perturbations of ozone (-0.24 ± 0.02 watts per square metre), compensated by those from methane (+0.09 ± 0.01 watts per square metre), aerosols (+0.03 ± 0.01 watts per square metr…

Matched topics: runoff
Runoff is one of the main components of hydrological cycle and an important index for water resources evaluation, understanding the runoff change and their causes is vital to water resource management. In the study, we analyzed the runoff change and the impacts of climate change and land use alteration on runoff variation based on natural runoff and previous studies in China. The results showed that there was a significant increasing trend in the annual runoff during 1961-2018 (p 56 %, while …
Propagation from meteorological to hydrological drought in the Horn of Africa using both standardized and threshold-based indices
Authors: Rhoda A. Odongo, Hans de Moel, Anne F. Van Loon
Journal: Natural hazards and earth system sciences · DOI: 10.5194/nhess-23-2365-2023 · Citations: 53
Matched topics: hydrology, streamflow, drought
Abstract. There have been numerous drought propagation studies in data-rich countries, but not much has been done for data-poor regions (such as the Horn of Africa, HOA). In this study, we characterize meteorological, soil moisture and hydrological drought and the propagation from one to the other for 318 catchments in the HOA to improve understanding of the spatial variability in the drought hazard. We calculate the standardized precipitation index (SPI), standardized soil moisture index (SS…
Spatial distribution of the contamination and risk assessment of potentially harmful elements in the Ghizer River Basin, northern Pakistan
Authors: Ayaz Ul Haq, Said Muhammad, Cem Tokatlı

Matched topics: hydrology, river
Abstract The Ghizer River Basin (GRB) is one of the sub-basins of the Indus River hosting rich mineralization and agrogenic activities. The GRB was sampled for 55 water samples and investigated for potentially harmful element (PHE) concentrations using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. PHE concentrations in water of the GRB were used to calculate the potential of non-cancer risks such as chronic daily intake (CDI), hazard quotient (HQ), and cancer risk (CR). The highest average co…
Modeling the Morphological Responses of the Yellow River Delta to the Water‐Sediment Regulation Scheme: The Role of Impulsive River Floods and Density‐Driven Flows
Authors: Guoxiang Wu, Kemeng Wang, Bingchen Liang, Xiao Wu, Houjie Wang, Huajun Li et al.
Journal: Water Resources Research · DOI: 10.1029/2022wr033003 · Citations: 36
Matched topics: hydrology, hydrologic model, river, flood
Abstract Morphological evolution of river deltas depends to a large extent on river discharges, which are usually highly unsteady due to natural hydrological cycles and anthropogenic regulations. However, it is unclear that how and to what extent the discharge fluctuations influence the delta morphology. In this study, we focus on the morphological response of the Yellow River Delta to the Water‐Sediment Regulation Schemes, which generate impulsive floods and deliver high sediment load within…
Prioritizing sub-watersheds for soil erosion using geospatial techniques based on morphometric and hypsometric analysis: a case study of the Indian Wyra River basin

Abstract The hydrological availability and scarcity of water can be affected by geomorphological processes occurring within a watershed. Hence, it is crucial to perform a quantitative evaluation of the watershed’s geometry to determine the impact of such processes on its hydrology. Geographic information systems (GIS) and remote sensing (RS) techniques have become increasingly significant because they enable decision-makers and strategists to make accurate and efficient decisions. To prioriti…
