Satellite hindcasts of foliar traits reveal a subtle but consistent relaxation of conservativeness in a biodiverse mountain grassland over the last four decades

Ecography, EarlyView.
Projected warming and drying raise concerns about the resilience of stress‐adapted ecosystems, including the Brazilian Campo Rupestre, an exceptionally biodiverse mountaintop grassland mosaic on ancient, nutrient‐poor substrates. Here, we combine field‐based trait data and long‐term remote sensing to assess the functional structure and temporal ...

Compound Drought and Temperature Events Intensify Wheat Yield Loss in Australia

Earth's Future
The escalation in extreme weather events has raised concerns for agriculture. The quantification of the impacts of extreme events on crop yield has predominantly concentrated on individual events like drought or heat.

Spatiotemporal variations of water levels and river-lake interaction in the Poyang Lake basin under the extreme drought

Journal of Hydrology: Regional Studies
Study region: Poyang Lake, China's largest freshwater lake Study focus: The water level variations of Poyang Lake and the combined effects of the upstream rivers and the Yangtze River during extreme drought events are not yet fully understood.

Regional frekvensanalyse av hydrologisk tørke og lavvann [PDF]

, 2007
An assessment of extreme hydrological low flow and drought events is of vital importance to water resources management. One way to reduce the uncertainty in the estimate of the extreme events is to use a regional dataset with observations from several ...

Vegetation on the move: elevational shifts and greening dynamics across the Himalayan alpine zone

Ecography, EarlyView.
This study investigates alpine ‘vegetation line' (the upper limit of continuous plant community) dynamics in the Himalayan alpine zone (HAZ) over a 24‐year timescale (1999–2022) using maximum NDVI products derived from Landsat series datasets, adjusted for sampling bias using phenological modelling.

Over three‐quarters of earthworm species lack protection in China, a crisis exacerbated by climate change

Ecography, EarlyView.
Earthworms, as ‘ecosystem engineers', play a crucial role in regulating ecosystem functions and shaping community structures. Due to climate change, earthworms face severe survival pressures and extinction risks. However, whether conservation efforts targeting aboveground biodiversity can cover the long‐neglected earthworm diversity remains unknown. To
