Climate change has the potential of increasing the frequency and severity of drought through the end of century. This research quantifies the increased risk of drought due to climate change and analyzes the state drought policy of a region with amplified drought risk. The research finds that ...
Climate change brings rising temperatures, increased sea levels, and drought(干旱). However, its effects don't end there- it can also change the taste of food.In southwest Spain, black Iberian pigs look for food under centuries-old oak trees, a process key for the unique taste of the JAMO...
dataset, which may be due to increases in summer precipitation42. Discussion Globally, 2023 was the warmest year on record since 185050, and the mean temperature in Canada during the 2023 fire season was 2.2 °C warmer than the 1991-2020 average1. What role did climate change play in ...
Global warming delays the autumn date of foliar senescence (DFS) in recent decades, with positive implications for growing season length and therefore global carbon storage. However, warming-associated drought, leading to water limitation, may conversely
When it eventually rains "in areas that have exposed soil, either due to drought or forest fires, which are basically the result of the drought, we may wind up with increased flooding," Pypker said. That's what happened in 2021, when thedeadly heat domein lat...
These results indicate that additional water stress along with increased VPD during prolonged drought periods and increased temperatures consistent with climate change scenarios may lead to large shifts in tree species distribution along the forest-grassland ecotone of the central United States. 展开 ...
Forest scientists are challenged to identify and propose evidence-based silvicultural options to mitigate the impacts of drought events induced by climate change. For example, it has been suggested that thinning increases soil water availability for individual trees by reducing stand density and stand-...
Flash droughts pose large threats to crop yields and ecosystem services due to their sudden onset and rapid intensification, arousing wide public concern in a warming climate. Their long-term characteristics of change, underlying mechanisms, and especially potential impacts on agriculture, forests, and...
Most of the global drylands are projected to see an increase in vegetation productivity due to climate change through 2050. The aridity index will not be a good indicator of drylands in future climates. We found a broad boost to dryland vegetation productivity due to the carbon dioxide (CO2...
This is an important step for those forced to flee their countries due to climate change. That's because the U.N.'s 1951 Refugee Convention does not cover climate-related migration. It defines refugees as those who are outside their country of origin and have a well-founded fear of persec...
