Drought is an increasingly common phenomenon in drylands as a consequence of climate change. We used 311 sites across a broad range of environmental conditions in Patagonian rangelands to evaluate how drought severity and temperature (abiotic factors) and vegetation structure (biotic factors) modulate the impact of a drought event on the annual integral of normalized difference vegetation index...

To better understand fire regimes and their relation to climate in the seasonal tropical forests of continental Southeast Asia, we developed first multi-century tree-ring based history chronology for region. The included 776 scars collected at Bidoup NuiBa National Park (BNNP) Central Highlands Vietnam spans period 1636–2020. Fires were recorded 116 years, representing 47% years covered by 249-...

Abstract. Since the beginning of this century, Europe has been experiencing severe drought events (2003, 2007, 2010, 2018 and 2019) which have had adverse impacts on various sectors, such as agriculture, forestry, water management, health ecosystems. During last few decades, projections impact climate change hydroclimatic extremes often used for quantification changes in characteristics these e...

The São Francisco River Basin (SFRB) plays a key role for the agricultural and hydropower sectors in Northeast Brazil (NEB). Historically, low part of SFRB, people have to cope with strong periods drought. However, there are incipient signs increasing drought conditions upper middle parts where its main reservoirs (i.e., Três Marias, Sobradinho, Luiz Gonzaga) croplands located. Therefore, asses...

The climate anomaly in the Amazon River basin (ARB) has a very important influence on global change and always been focus of scientists from all over world. To fill 11-month data gap between Gravity Recovery Climate Experiment (GRACE) GRACE Follow-On (GRACE-FO) missions, we fused TWSC results six solutions by using generalized three-cornered hat least square method to improve reliability result...

The oyamel forests, as Abies dominated forests are commonly known as, register their largest distribution (95% of population) along the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt (TMVB). Although efforts have been made to study these with various approaches, dendrochronology-based studies limited, particularly in pure this region. objective was reconstruct fire regimes an religiosa forest Sierra Norte state P...

Integrating the dynamics and interconnections of natural human system properties into a single measure would make it simpler to reliably repeatedly assess compare different social-environmental systems (SES). We propose novel metric magnitudes variations in SES by integrating longitudinal gross domestic product, population, ecosystem net primary production. use annual public data across Asian D...

Forest systems provide crucial ecosystem functions to our environment, such as balancing carbon stocks and influencing the local, regional global climate. A trend towards an increasing frequency of climate change induced extreme weather events, including drought, is hereby a major challenge for forest management. Within this context, application remote sensing data provides powerful means fast,...

Drought index is a useful tool to assess and respond to drought. However, current drought indices could not fully reveal land use effects and they have limitations in applications. Besides, El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO), strongly influences the climate of Florida. Hence, understanding ENSO patterns on a regional scale and developing a new land use drought index suitable for Florida are cr...

drought is a major environmental disaster in many parts of the world. knowledge about the timing, severity and extentof drought can aid planning and decision-making. drought indices derived from in-situ meteorological data have coarsespatial and temporal resolutions, thus, obtaining a real-time drought condition over a large area is difficult. this studyused advanced very high resolution radiom...
