Spatiotemporal Droughts Propagation and Direct Driving Variables Under Climate Change Projections: A Case Study of Tunisia

International Journal of Climatology, Volume 46, Issue 6, May 2026.
Drought spatiotemporal propagation and direct driving variables are assessed at multiple time steps with high spatial resolution using various drought indices (SPI, SPEI and SPDI) and entropy based mutual information under an ensemble of climate change projections over Tunisia. ABSTRACT Projecting drought occurrence and spatiotemporal propagation under

Light‐Modulated Humidity Sensing in Spiropyran Functionalized MoS2 Transistors

Small, Volume 22, Issue 25, 4 May 2026.
A hybrid material combining molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) and spiropyran for humidity and light responsiveness is developed. Ultraviolete (UV) irradiation tunes the wettability of MoS2 decorated by spiropyran, enhancing the humidity sensitivity. Water adsorption and photochromic doping significantly alter the optoelectronic properties of MoS2 flakes ...

Projected Reductions in Staple Crop Production and Nutritional Quality Under Climate Change: Machine Learning Evidence From China

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Staple crops are essential sources of sustenance and macronutrients. While previous studies have overlooked the combined impacts of climate extremes, elevated CO2‐induced nutrient penalties, and resulting nutritional inequities across cities. Moreover, adaptive strategies often emphasize top‐down policies, neglecting tailored measures such as ...

Detecting Forest Water‐Availability and Biomass Patterns Through a Retrospective Study in a Mediterranean Region

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 5, -Not available-.
Abstract Latent heat (λ $\lambda $ET) fluxes are a major component of the hydrological cycle globally. According to recent models and experimental observations, during droughts, wetter regions respond by increasing λ $\lambda $ET, while drier regions exhibit decreasing trends due to vegetation water stress.

On the Construction of Multivariate Drought Indices: Theoretical Foundations and Practical Implications

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Drought indices represent essential tools for monitoring and evaluating drought conditions and evolution. Univariate indices employ the Probability Integral Transform to map data onto the standard Gaussian domain. Extending such a Gaussian normalization procedure to multivariate settings requires the usage of the Kendall distribution function ...
