Using an original panel data set for 24 OECD countries over the sample 1990-2019 and a multivariate empirical macroeconomic framework for business cycle analysis, the paper tests the combined macroeconomic effects of climate change, environmental policies and green innovation. Overall, we find evidence of significant macroeconomic effects over the business cycle: physical risks act as negative demand shocks while transition risks as downward supply movements. The disruptive effects on the eco…

Abstract. Oases and deserts generally act as a landscape matrix and mosaic in arid and semiarid regions. The significant difference in thermal and dynamic characteristics between an oasis and desert surface will result in oasis–desert interaction. Specifically, this refers to the interaction between an oasis and desert system via the exchange of momentum, energy, water, and carbon, which can lead to a series of microclimate effects that affect the structure of the atmospheric boundary layer, …

Information about a company’s environmental, social and governance (ESG) performance has become increasingly important in the decision-making process of financial institutions. The financial implications of environmental challenges (e.g. water stress), negative social impacts (e.g. health impacts in local communities) or poor corporate governance (e.g. breaching legislation) all continue to increase. Accordingly, there is a need for financial institutions to incorporate information on ESG ris…

BACKGROUND: γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA), as a regulator of many aspects of plant growth, has a pivotal role in improving plant stress resistance. However, few studies have focused on the use of GABA in increasing plants’ resistance to interactional stresses, such as drought-salinity. Therefore, the focus of this study was to examine the effect of foliar application of GABA (0, 10, 20, and 40 mM) on growth indices and physio-biochemical parameters in plants of two pomegranate cultivars, ‘Rabab’…

Fire suppression and past selective logging of large trees have fundamentally changed frequent-fire-adapted forests in California. The culmination of these changes produced forests that are vulnerable to catastrophic change by wildfire, drought, and bark beetles, with climate change exacerbating this vulnerability. Management options available to address this problem include mechanical treatments (Mech), prescribed fire (Fire), or combinations of these treatments (Mech + Fire). We quantify ch…

Anthropogenic methane emissions are a leading cause of the increase in global average temperatures, often referred to as global warming. Flooded soils play a significant role in methane production, where the anaerobic conditions promote the production of methane by methanogenic microorganisms. Rice fields contribute a considerable portion of agricultural methane emissions, as rice plants provide both factors that enhance and limit methane production. Rice plants harbor both methane- producing…

This theme encompasses 11 papers advancing understanding of hydrological processes through field observations, modeling, and remote sensing. Research covers snow distribution and dynamics in cold regions, forest-hydrology interactions, land use change impacts on river systems, rainfall-runoff modeling uncertainty, and satellite-based monitoring of terrestrial water resources.

Shifted sediment-transport regimes by climate change and amplified hydrological variability in cryosphere-fed rivers

Authors: Ting Zhang, Dongfeng Li, Amy E. East, Albert J. Kettner, Jim Best, Jinren Ni et al.

Journal: Science Advances · DOI: 10.1126/sciadv.adi5019 · Citations: 73

Matched topics: hydrologic model, river, streamflow, climate change, hydropower

Climate change affects cryosphere-fed rivers and alters seasonal sediment dynamics, affecting cyclical fluvial material supply and year-round water-food-energy provisions to downstream communities. Here, we demonstrate seasonal sediment-transport regime shifts from the 1960s to 2000s in four cryosphere-fed rivers characterized by glacial, nival, pluvial, and mixed regimes, respectively. Spring sees a shift toward pluvial-dominated sediment transport due to less snowmelt and more erosive rainf…


Improving flood forecasting in Narmada river basin using hierarchical clustering and hydrological modelling

Authors: Darshan Mehta, Jay Dhabuwala, S. M. Yadav, Vijendra Kumar, Hazi Mohammad Azamathulla

Journal: Results in Engineering · DOI: 10.1016/j.rineng.2023.101571 · Citations: 52

Matched topics: hydrologic model, river, runoff, flood

The purpose of the study was to use hierarchical clustering and Thiessen polygon algorithms to identify the significant rain gauge stations for flood forecasting at Sardar Sarovar Dam. Rainfall data from 2010 to 2018 was utilized to analyze the catchment region between Omkareshwar Dam and Sardar Sarovar Dam. The study identified two clusters of rain gauge stations with similar rainfall patterns and divided the study area into seventeen regions using Thiessen polygons. The land use map showed …

Water quality indices: Construction, potential, and limitations

Authors: Ana Carolina Chaves Fortes, Paulo Rubens Guimarães Barrocas, Débora Cynamon Kligerman

Journal: Ecological Indicators · DOI: 10.1016/j.ecolind.2023.111187 · Citations: 49

Matched topics: water management

Water quality indices (WQIs) are well-established tools for water quality management and effective community communication. However, distinct WQIs construction processes give rise to differences in their measurability and flexibility. The present study objective was to evaluate the effectiveness of commonly used WQIs, applied to measure drinking water quality. Their benefits and limitations were discussed based on Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats (SWOT) analysis. The most fre…


A conceptual metaheuristic-based framework for improving runoff time series simulation in glacierized catchments

Authors: Babak Mohammadi, Saeed Vazifehkhah, Zheng Duan

Journal: Engineering Applications of Artificial Intelligence · DOI: 10.1016/j.engappai.2023.107302 · Citations: 44

Matched topics: hydrologic model, runoff

Glacio-hydrological modeling is a key task for assessing the influence of snow and glaciers on water resources, essential for water resources management. The present study aims to enhance a conceptual hydrological model (namely Glacial Snow Melt (GSM)) by data-driven and swarm computing for enhancing the accuracy of rainfall runoff prediction. The proposed framework combines the conceptual hydrological model (i.e. GSM) with the time series predictor model (SVR) and optimization-driven paramet…

Mountain snow depth retrievals from customized processing of ICESat-2 satellite laser altimetry

Authors: Hannah Besso, David Shean, Jessica D. Lundquist

Journal: Remote Sensing of Environment · DOI: 10.1016/j.rse.2023.113843 · Citations: 47

Matched topics: land surface model

Snow depth is highly variable across basins, yet most snow depth data in the western U.S. come from sparse in situ point measurements. The water resources community needs accurate snow depth data for improved basin-wide snow depth estimates. The NASA ICESat-2 mission has provided over four years of global satellite laser altimetry measurements since October 2018. Previous studies have shown that standard ICESat-2 data products, when combined with snow-off digital terrain models (DTMs) from ai…


Climate impact greater on vegetation NPP but human enhance benefits after the Grain for Green Program in Loess Plateau

Authors: Wenwen Li, Jinlu Zhou, Zhongyang Xu, Yinku Liang, Jiawei Shi, Xiaoning Zhao

Journal: Ecological Indicators · DOI: 10.1016/j.ecolind.2023.111201 · Citations: 44

Matched topics: hydrology

Net primary productivity (NPP) has been the subject of numerous studies, but the qualitative and comparative study on NPP that considers human activities, climate change, and their interactions is still insufficient. The Grain for Green Program (GTGP) was established in the Loess Plateau since 1999, could be used as a reference study. The temporal and spatial patterns, change trend, and driving factors of vegetation NPP were analysed in Loess Plateau using data derived from GLASS NPP (the Glo…
