Wildfires' Cost for Societal Welfare: Economic Evaluation of Forestry Ecosystem Services Losses in Southern Italy

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Forest ecosystem services (ESs) are garnering increasing public attention as awareness grows regarding society's fundamental dependence on them for well‐being. Forest fires, one of the major disturbances of ESs, are becoming more frequent and destructive, exacerbated in part by climate change.

Propagation Dynamics from Meteorological Drought to GRACE-Based Hydrological Drought and Its Influencing Factors

Remote Sensing
Gaining a comprehensive understanding of the characteristics and propagation of precipitation-based meteorological drought to terrestrial water storage (TWS)-derived hydrological drought is of the utmost importance.

Drought at the global scale in the 2nd part of the 20th century (1963-2001) [PDF]

The large impacts of drought on society, economy and environment urge for a thorough investigation. A good knowledge of past drought events is important for both understanding of the processes causing drought, as well as to provide reliability ...

Propagation of drought through groundwater systems

Index words: drought, groundwater, simulation, synthetic data, extreme eventsThe transformation of droughts as a result of the propagation through groundwater systems is examined by comparing droughts in time series of groundwater recharge, levels and discharge.

Time to burn: landscape drivers of fuel trait variability and fire regime in savanna ecosystems

Oikos, EarlyView.
Fuel traits are important determinants of fire behavior and regime in savannas and, thus, of how fire affects plant communities. However, whether these traits are correlated, predictable and how they are influenced by biotic and abiotic drivers remain to be rigorously evaluated.

Drought propagation in karst and non-karst regions in Southwest China compared on a daily scale

Journal of Hydrology: Regional Studies
Study region: Three subbasins with different karstification degrees in Southwest China. Study focus: To investigate the mechanism of karst influence on drought propagation, this paper used a daily-scale threshold level method to identify drought events ...

Water Management in a River Basin with Downstream Externalities [PDF]

, 2005
Most water for agricultural and municipal uses comes from river basins. Traditionally the analysis of trade-offs has been confined to evaluating the marginal value of water in urban and municipal uses.

Recurrent drought amplifies drought impacts and increases seasonal synchrony in mountain grassland communities

Oikos, EarlyView.
Climate change increases the recurrence of drought events with strong repercussions on grassland ecosystems. While the effects of single drought events on ecosystem structure and functioning are well understood, it is largely unknown whether and how recurrent drought events modify ecosystem responses to subsequent drought.

Hybrid causal inference framework for long-chain drought propagation networks: Combining convergent cross-mapping and generalized random forest

Ecological Indicators
Unveiling the causal mechanisms of long-chain drought propagation is crucial for understanding drought evolution, optimizing water resource management, and enhancing agricultural and socioeconomic drought resilience.
