Belowground niche partitioning is maintained under extreme drought

open access: yesEcology, 2023
AbstractBelowground niche partitioning presents a key mechanism for maintaining species coexistence and diversity. Its importance is currently reinforced by climate change that alters soil hydrological conditions. However, experimental tests examining the magnitude of its change under climate change are scarce. We combined measurements of oxygen stable

Aboveground net primary productivity not CO2 exchange remain stable under three timing of extreme drought in a semi-arid steppe.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2019
Precipitation patterns are expected to change in the semi-arid region within the next decades, with projected increasing in extreme drought events. Meanwhile, the timing of extreme drought also shows great uncertainty, suggesting that the timing of ...

Droughts with no agro-climatological extremes

open access: yesScientific Reports
While droughts are primarily linked to climatic conditions, socio-economic factors, such as social vulnerability to drought, significantly influence the impact of drought events. In many vulnerable regions, droughts can occur even when there are minor or no significant deviations from typical agro-climatological conditions.

Thirsty country: climate change and drought in Australia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
This report argues that climate change is likely making drought worse in the southeast and southwest of Australia, which are some of our most populous regions. Introduction Drought has deeply affected Australia throughout its history.

A Global Methane Observation System to Reduce Uncertainty for Anthropogenic and Natural Sources and Sinks for Detecting and Attributing Climate Feedbacks

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Conceptual illustration of a Global Ecosystem Methane Observing System (GEM‐OS) integrating satellites, aircraft, atmospheric networks, and ecosystem measurements to quantify methane emissions from anthropogenic and natural sources. The multi‐scale observing framework improves source attribution, reduces uncertainty in regional methane budgets, and ...

Extreme value analysis of wind droughts in Great Britain

open access: yesRenewable Energy, 2023
Due to the growing proportion of wind energy in Great Britain’s energy mix, prolonged periods of low wind power generation have become a significant challenge for decarbonising the electricity system. As such, characterising drought severity and duration is important for ensuring the reliability of the electricity system.
