Hydrology Research, 1997 In 1993/94 a severe drought on the North Island of New Zealand caused water shortage in the Auckland metropolis. How extreme was the drought? This paper presents comparisons of frequencies of the 1993/94 drought in four North Island regions using different indicators of drought and including both streamflow and rainfall data.

Responses of Seasonal Indicators to Extreme Droughts in Southwest China [PDF]
Remote Sensing, 2020 Significant impact of extreme droughts on human society and ecosystem has occurred in many places of the world, for example, Southwest China (SWC). Considerable research concentrated on analyzing causes and effects of droughts in SWC, but few studies have examined seasonal indicators, such as variations of surface water and vegetation phenology.

Divergent responses of ecosystem water use efficiency to drought timing over Northern Eurasia
Environmental Research Letters, 2021 Warming has resulted in increases in frequency, intensity and/or duration of droughts in most land regions over the globe. Nevertheless, knowledge on how ecosystem water use efficiency (WUE) responds to extreme drought stress and whether the responses ...

Threshold response to extreme drought shifts inter-tree growth dominance in Pinus sylvestris [PDF]
, 2021 Many studies quantify short-term drought impact on tree growth relative to pre-drought growth averages. However, fewer studies examine the extent to which droughts of differing severity differentially impact tree growth or shape stand dynamics.

Human and natural resource exposure to extreme drought at 1.0 °C–4.0 °C warming levels
Environmental Research Letters, 2022 Extreme drought occurs on every continent, negatively impacting natural systems and the built environment. Realized and anticipated future warming affects global hydrology, influencing the severity and frequency of both extreme precipitation events and ...
