Optimized Land–Water Management Expands Afforestation Potential Under Land and Human Water‐Use Constraints

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Human water demand constrains China's feasible afforestation potential more strongly than is commonly recognized, and future climate change further intensifies this limitation. Integrating land‐use optimization with water‐saving measures substantially expands feasible afforestation area and associated carbon sinks, revealing a practical pathway to ...

Climate Change is Rewriting the Hydroclimatic Operating Envelope of Mines

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Climate change is shown to shift the hydroclimatic operating envelope of mines: 16.2% of represented mine locations have already changed Köppen subtype, rising to 42.5% by late century under SSP5‐8.5. Divergent water trajectories are filtered through geology, infrastructure and lifecycle stage, indicating that adaptation requires monitored, scenario ...

Hemp Cultivation and Crop Diversification: Implications for Ecosystem Services in Kentucky

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines the ecosystem benefits of expanding hemp cultivation by assessing its impact on crop diversity. Using scenario‐based simulations and fixed‐effect panel regressions with county‐level data in Kentucky, we find that increased hemp acreage tends to enhance crop diversity, improving water quality and bird diversity.

Potential role of coordinated operation of transboundary multi-reservoir system to reduce flood risk in the Lancang-Mekong River basin

Shui kexue jinzhan, 2021
The Lancang-Mekong River (LMR) basin has historically been affected by severe floods and is likely to suffer further flood events with higher peaks and longer duration in the future due to climate change, which calls for collective action to respond ...

When the River Runs Low: Heterogeneous Impacts of Transportation Disruptions on Local Grain Basis

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A substantial share of U.S. soybean and corn exports from the Midwest moves by barge along the Mississippi River system to export terminals in the Louisiana Gulf. Transportation costs between Midwestern grain elevators and export terminals create a wedge between prices at these locations, and shocks to these costs are partially passed on to ...

Hydrologically complemented deterministic slope stability analysis in part of Indian Lesser Himalaya

Geomatics, Natural Hazards & Risk, 2016
This study uses a deterministic approach to evaluate the factor of safety (FS) of the terrain for different hydrological conditions, in part of Indian Lesser Himalaya. The results indicate sudden increase in the percentage unstable area from 7.5% to 13.8%
