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 ...

Satellite evidence of canopy-height dependence of forest drought resistance in southwestern China
Environmental Research Letters, 2022 The frequency and intensity of drought events are increasing with warming climate, which has resulted in worldwide forest mortality. Previous studies have reached a general consensus on the size-dependency of forest resistance to drought, but further ...

Projected changes in droughts and extreme droughts in Great Britain strongly influenced by the choice of drought index [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2022 Abstract. Droughts cause enormous ecological, economical and societal damage, and they are already undergoing changes due to anthropogenic climate change. The issue of defining and quantifying droughts has long been a substantial source of uncertainty in understanding observed and projected trends.
