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.

Timing and Order of Extreme Drought and Wetness Determine Bioclimatic Sensitivity of Tree Growth
Earth's Future, 2022 Tree resistance to extreme droughts and post‐drought recovery are sensitive to the drought timing. However, how the bioclimatic sensitivity of tree growth may vary with the timing and order of extreme droughts and wetness is still poorly understood. Here,

Meteorological Drought Variability over Africa from Multisource Datasets
Atmosphere, 2023 This study analyses the spatiotemporal variability of meteorological drought over Africa and its nine climate subregions from an ensemble of 19 multisource datasets (gauge-based, satellite-based and reanalysis) over the period 1983–2014. The standardized

Adapting agriculture to drought and extreme events [PDF]
Journal of Soil and Water Conservation, 2012 T he 2012 drought, one of the worst during the last 80 years or more, reminds us of the dust bowl of the 1930s (figure 1) and indicates that climate change is a reality rather than a distant threat. The drought has had a severe impact on yields, reducing the predicted grain production for corn per acre at a farm level to levels of production that have ...
