Osmoregulation and its actions during the drought stress in plants.
Physiologia Plantarum : An International Journal for Plant Biology, 2020Drought stress, which causes a decline in quality and quantity of crop yields, has become more accentuated these days due to climatic change. Serious measures need to be taken to increase the tolerance of crop plants to acute drought conditions likely to

Scores of definitions of drought exist, reflecting different applications and regions of con-cern. Common to all types of drought is the fact that they originate from a deficiency of precipitation that results in water shortage for some activity (e.g., plant growth, transpor-tation) or some group (e.g., farmer, water suppliers).

Public Health, 1978
Episodes of diarrhoea and vomiting were monitored at schools in two areas affected by water restrictions during the drought of 1976 and compared with records from schools in an adjacent unaffected area. Evidence was obtained of a possible association between restrictions in water supply and gastro-intestinal disturbances. It is suggested that outbreaks

Comprehensive coverage of understanding, prevention, and risk management of extreme drought events, with examples of approaches followed in water-stressed regions.This book describes the progress made in our understanding of severe drought and explains how we can deal with—and even avoid—complete devastation brought on by such punishing events.

On the essentials of drought in a changing climate
Science, 2020Droughts of the future are likely to be more frequent, severe, and longer lasting than they have been in recent decades, but drought risks will be lower if greenhouse gas emissions are cut aggressively.

Journal of Hydrology, 2023
Wetlands have been singled out as a potential nature-based solution for improving the resilience and reducing the risks of hydrometeorological extremes. However, whether and to what extent wetlands can affect hydrological droughts is not well understood.

The Climatology of Droughts and Drought Prediction
1988This section reviews some aspects of the climate of NEB (Northeast Brazil, i.e., the “Nordeste”), focusing in Subsection 2.2 on rainfall, its interannual variability and the mechanisms that produce rain. Subsection 2.3 provides a short review of the state of the art of drought prediction for NEB.

Drought in groundwater—drought distribution and performance indicators
Journal of Hydrology, 2005In order to investigate how droughts are changed by the groundwater system and to analyse the performance of groundwater during drought, 10 time series of 1000 years of recharge and groundwater discharge were generated. The 10!1000 years of synthetic daily data were generated using Nearest Neighbour resampling based on 37 years of observed daily ...

Proteomic responses of drought-tolerant and drought-sensitive cotton varieties to drought stress
Molecular Genetics and Genomics, 2016Drought, one of the most widespread factors reducing agricultural crop productivity, affects biological processes such as development, architecture, flowering and senescence. Although protein analysis techniques and genome sequencing have made facilitated the proteomic study of cotton, information on genetic differences associated with proteomic ...

Life in Dry Soils: Effects of Drought on Soil Microbial Communities and Processes
Annual Review of Ecology, Evolution and Systematics, 2018Throughout Earth's history, drought has been a common crisis in terrestrial ecosystems; in human societies, it can cause famine, one of the Four Horsemen of the apocalypse. As the global hydrological cycle intensifies with global warming, deeper droughts
