Water stress and water wars [PDF]

The Economics of Peace and Security Journal, 2007
This essay argues three propositions: (1) by 2025 roughly one third of the world's population will be living in countries which are water-stressed, at least by conventional criteria; (2) nevertheless, macro evidence does not portend that the world will be unable to feed its growing population at that time; (3) interstate armed conflicts over water ...

Impact of residue retention and nutrient management on carbon sequestration, soil biological properties, and yield in multi-ratoon sugarcane

Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, 2023
Sequestration of carbon (C) in arable cropping systems is considered one of the potential climate change mitigation strategies. In this context, assessing the potential of sugarcane cropping systems should be a priority, as it leaves substantial amounts ...

Application of Phenomics to Elucidate the Influence of Rootstocks on Drought Response of Tomato

Agronomy, 2022
The cultivation of nutritionally and economically important crops like tomato are often threatened by dry spells due to drought as these crops largely depend on an assured water supply.

Optimal ranking regime analysis of TreeFlow dendrohydrological reconstructions [PDF]

Climate of the Past, 2015
The optimal ranking regime (ORR) method was used to identify 6–100-year time windows containing significant ranking sequences in 55 western US streamflow reconstructions, and reconstructions of the level of the Great Salt Lake and San Francisco Bay ...

Global monthly water stress: 2. Water demand and severity of water stress [PDF]

Water Resources Research, 2011
This paper assesses global water stress at a finer temporal scale compared to conventional assessments. To calculate time series of global water stress at a monthly time scale, global water availability, as obtained from simulations of monthly river discharge from the companion paper, is confronted with global monthly water demand.

Optimizing Dryland Crop Management to Regional Climate. Part II: U.S. Southern High Plains Grain Sorghum Production

Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, 2020
Sorghum's heat and drought tolerance make it, together with upland cotton, one of two crops produced profitably under dryland conditions in the U.S. Southern High Plains (SHP).

Integrated Starches and Physicochemical Characterization of Sorghum Cultivars for an Efficient and Sustainable Intercropping Model

Plants, 2022
Sorghum has good adaptation to drought tolerance and can be successfully cultivated on marginal lands with low input cost. Starch is used in many foods and nonfood industrial applications and as a renewable energy resource.

Optimizing Dryland Crop Management to Regional Climate via Simulation. Part I: U.S. Southern High Plains Cotton Production

Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, 2020
Over semi-arid agricultural regions such as the U.S. Southern High Plains (SHP) producers of dryland crops need to know which management practices increase yields and decrease production risk.
