Human-caused long-term changes in global aridity
npj Climate and Atmospheric Science, 2021 Widespread aridification of the land surface causes substantial environmental challenges and is generally well documented. However, the mechanisms underlying increased aridity remain relatively underexplored.

Belowground soil and vegetation components change across the aridity threshold in grasslands
Environmental Research Letters, 2023 Grassland ecosystem functions are affected by global climate change and increasing aridity. Belowground components of soil and vegetation, such as specific root length, belowground biomass and soil organic carbon are important for maintaining these ...

Simulated changes in aridity from the last glacial maximum to 4xCO2
Environmental Research Letters, 2017 Aridity is generally defined as the ‘degree to which a climate lacks moisture to sustain life in terrestrial ecosystems’. Several recent studies using the ‘aridity index’ (the ratio of potential evaporation to precipitation), have concluded that aridity ...

Normalized Seed Weight of Three Species of the Genus Peganum L. (Peganaceae Van Tieghem) in Mongolia [PDF]
Mongolian Journal of Biological Sciences, 2015 Variation of seed weight of Peganum species is positively correlated with mean seed weight in big populations. It was insignifi cant in small populations, suggesting normalized seed weight is useful to distinguish the population

Spatial-Temporal Variation of Aridity Index of China during 1960–2013
Advances in Meteorology, 2016 Aridity index, as the ration of potential evapotranspiration and precipitation, is an important indicator of regional climate. GIS technology, Morlet wavelet, Mann-Kendall test, and principal component analysis are utilized to investigate the spatial ...

Assessing the aridity indices in Northeast Iran: Implications for climate change and agricultural water management. [PDF]
DesertAridity indices have been widely applied in dividing climate regimes and monitoring drought events. The knowledge of the aridity index and reference evapotranspiration is very important not only for understanding climate change and its effects on ...

Amendment of Climate Zones of the Northeastern Iran Based On a Combination of Changes in Aridity Index [PDF]
مدیریت بیابان, 2019 The purpose of research is to rezoning the climate zones of the north east of Iran- located between 30° 35' to 38° 41'N and 56° 19' to 61° 16'E- based on the analysis of changes in the aridity index, in combination with other climatic parameters changes.
