Assessing water availability in Mediterranean regions affected by water conflicts through MODIS data time series analysis [PDF]
, 2019 Water scarcity is a widespread problem in arid and semi-arid regions such as the western Mediterranean coastal areas. The irregularity of the precipitation generates frequent droughts that exacerbate the conflicts among agriculture, water supply and ...

Ecography, EarlyView.The mutualistic interaction between truffle‐like ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi and mycophagous mammals is fundamental to forest health, supporting fungal dispersal, soil structure, nutrient cycling, and plant community dynamics worldwide. However, climate change may disrupt this mutualism in unprecedented ways by altering truffle‐like ECM sporing body ...

Characterization of Rice (Oryza sativa L.) Roots Versus Root Pulling Resistance as Selection Indices for Draught Tolerance [PDF]
, 1989 A technique described as Root Pulling Resistance (RPR) was used to evaluate genotypic differences in root growth and development of 50 rice germplasm accessions and cultivars. Several root characteristics in rice are associated with drought tolerance and

Food Biomacromolecules, EarlyView.Abstract As one of the most important components of foods, animal meat provides a lot of protein, fat, and energy for humans. However, nutrition and health of animals directly affect the healthiness of human, especially antibiotic residues in animals induced by abuse of antibiotics.

Global Change Biology Communications, EarlyView.Climate change has rapidly expanded and shifted suitable climate conditions for eight major forest pests across North America, especially toward northern and higher elevation areas. Host exposure and overlap among pests are increasing, raising ecological and economic risks, and signaling accelerating future impacts under continued warming.

Rethinking standardized drought indices for critical drought evaluation
Journal of Water and Climate ChangeABSTRACT Drought evaluation is a key component of water resources management, commonly performed using standardized drought indices (SDIs) based on probabilistic standardization of different input variables. While widely accepted for their simplicity, SDIs involve uncertainties, particularly related to the selection

Autoencoder-based composite drought indices
Environmental Research LettersAbstract Depending on the type, drought events are described using different indices, such as meteorological, agricultural, and hydrological. The use of different indices often causes confusion for making water-related management decisions.

The 2010 spring drought reduced primary productivity in southwestern China [PDF]
, 2012 Many parts of the world experience frequent and severe droughts. Summer drought can significantly reduce primary productivity and carbon sequestration capacity. The impacts of spring droughts, however, have received much less attention.
