Generally, soil moisture and monthly maximum daily rainfall (MMR) are the dominant drivers of flood in tropical basins while monthly maximum daily snowmelt (MMS) is the dominant driver in high latitude basins.
In Australia, changes in antecedent soil moisture modulate flood seasonality and the driving factors are different in small and large floods30. Some studies also attribute flood time change to large scale circulations12,40. Most of these studies focus on changes in flood timing on a continental ...
Spatio-temporal changes of exposure and vulnerability to floods in China. Adv. Clim. Change Res. 5, 197–205 (2014). Article Google Scholar Du, S., He, C., Huang, Q. & Shi, P. How did the urban land in floodplains distribute and expand in China from 1992–2015? Environ. Res....
rice and wheat, suggesting that temperature effects in isolation tend to have a yield-reducing effect on crops (Fig.1a). This response is not seen in soybean. Precipitation-response functions describe a positive relationship between changes in rainfall and yields for all crops except rice, the ...
Flooding is a pervasive natural hazard with wide-ranging impacts on society. Using a high-resolution global flood model considering coastal, fluvial, and pluvial hazards, we clarify the role of climate effects versus population growth effects in changing
The earth’s temperature is rapidly changing. As a result there has been a lot of climate change such as heat waves, droughts and floods. Scientists believe that this is the result of human activity, which is polluting the Earth’s atmosphere. This could become a disaster if governments do...
Floods sparked by torrential rain in Spain's Valencia region have left at least 158 people dead and others missing amid mud-caked debris. Oct 31, 2024 Miami artist uses concrete slabs to display South Florida's rising sea level Miami-based artist Xavier Cortada wants to get across to the...
and monitor the constituents of, and changes in, national poverty, people's occupations and income, poverty causes, and real needs as well as the assistance effect. Then, annual assessments of global poverty reduction would help to make in-time adjustments of poverty alleviation measures and ...
As with other trends, it evolves with global trends, lifestyle trends, changes in the industry, and consumer trends. Consumers are not 100% satisfied with today’s plant-based offerings. They want choices that are less processed, more natural, have better taste and texture, offer health ...
Changes in land use have forced tens of thousands of species into closer contact, increasing the exchange of pathogens and the emergence of new diseases and pandemics [17]. People losing contact with the natural environment and the declining biodiversity have both been linked to increases in non-...
