Water scarcity areaAs the characterization of primary productivity of wetland ecosystem, the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) plays an important role in local ecosystem conservation for environmental management. In this paper, the correlations of NDVI and hydro-meteorological variables were ...
The scarcity of water was seriously scarce and it is scarce for the 13 provinces on the north of China, even it was scarce in the southwest of China(Yunnan and Guizhou) where it was once famous for its rich in water resources. The degree of water shortage could be relieved by the ...

Tropical Dry Forest: Receive very little rain between four and six months out of the year. Plants and animals have specific adaptations to deal with this period of water scarcity. Mangrove: Coastal tropical forests with trees adapted to live in brackish water with changing levels. Mangroves protec...
Areas of severe water conflict correlate with water scarcity; hence, the regions with the greatest conflict and potential for conflict are the Middle East, the Indian subcontinent, and the former Soviet Union. Water is a fugitive resource . As water moves through the hydrologic cycle , it ...
An abundance or scarcity of any biotic factor sends a ripple effect through the ecosystem, which is the entirety of the abiotic and biotic factors in a designated area. For example, an abundance of plants often leads to an increase in herbivore populations. In turn, predators that hunt the ...
