Assessing droughts using meteorological drought indices in Victoria, Australia [PDF]
Hydrology Research, 2014 Droughts adversely impact rural and urban communities, industry, primary production and, thus, a country's economy. Drought monitoring is directed to detecting the onset, persistence and severity of the drought. In this study, meteorological drought indices such as the Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI), the Reconnaissance Drought Index (RDI) and ...

On the timescale of drought indices for monitoring streamflow drought considering catchment hydrological regimes [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System SciencesThere is a wide variety of drought indices, yet a consensus on suitable indices and temporal scales for monitoring streamflow drought remains elusive across diverse hydrological settings.

Handbook of Drought Indicators and Indices*
, 2017 Droughts are a normal part of the climate, and they can occur in any climate regime around the world, even deserts and rainforests. Like other hazards, droughts can be characterized in terms of their severity, location, duration, and timing. Droughts can arise from a range of hydrometeorological processes that suppress precipitation and/or limit ...

Suitability of drought tolerance indices for selecting alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) genotypes under organic farming in Austria [PDF]
, 2012 In eastern Austria, alfalfa is usually grown as a rainfed crop in crop rotations in organic farming systems, where year-to-year rainfall fluctuations cause different levels of drought stress. To identify the suitability of different alfalfa genotypes and

Advanced Science, EarlyView.This study explores how iron and manganese oxides transform sewage sludge into plant biostimulants during composting. Non‐targeted identification reveals the main species of plant biostimulants. Metagenomic analysis reveals that 2‐line ferrihydrite specifically enriches microbial genes for biosynthesis, boosting plant‐growth promoters.

Reliability of meteorological drought indices for predicting soil moisture droughts [PDF]
, 2016 Abstract. Meteorological drought indices based on precipitation and/or evaporation are commonly used to detect the presence, severity and duration of soil moisture droughts. However, it is debatable whether droughts can be adequately characterised using only precipitation and/evaporation, or whether more physical based methods using soil water deficits

Evaluating Drought Indices for Alaska
Earth Interactions, 2023 Abstract Drought is a recurrent natural phenomenon, but there is concern that climate change may increase the frequency or severity of drought in Alaska. Because most common drought indices were designed for lower latitudes, it is unclear how effectively they characterize drought in Alaska’s diverse, high-latitude climates.

On the key role of droughts in the dynamics of summer fires in Mediterranean Europe [PDF]
, 2017 Summer fires frequently rage across Mediterranean Europe, often intensified by high temperatures and droughts. According to the state-of-the-art regional fire risk projections, in forthcoming decades climate effects are expected to become stronger and ...

Principles for Rigorous Design and Application of Synthetic Microbial Communities
Advanced Science, EarlyView.SynComs are artificially designed to enable inter‐species metabolic interactions, metabolic division of labor, and ecological interactions that can elicit phenotypes like colonization stability and environmental adaptation. This systematic review explores the processes used to construct SynComs, the assessment of the mechanisms of metabolic interaction
