Improving the coupling coordination degree between water and land resources matching (WLRM) cultivated use eco-efficiency (CLUE) is crucial to ensuring national food security constructing an ecological civilization. This study based on data of 71 prefecture-level cities in major grain-producing areas middle lower reaches Yangtze River from 2008 2020. The unit area resource method, slacks-based ...

A limited number of studies have focused on the hydroclimate dynamics tropical Caribbean islands. The present study aims to analyze rainfall regime in Barbados. CHIRPS gridded dataset, at a resolution 0.05°×0.05°, providing daily data from January 1981 until 2018 was used. variables analyzed were annual and seasonal maximum rainfall, total rainy days per year season. Potential change points tim...

The Three Rivers Source Region (TRSR) is a natural habitat for rare animals and genetic treasure trove of plateau organisms. It an important eco-safety barrier in China even Asia, priority China’s to promote ecological advancement. Precisely assessing the dynamics mechanisms alpine grassland ecosystem carbon budgets beneficial quantifying response climate change on regional scale. spatial distr...

Precipitation is the main source for replenishing groundwater stored in aquifers a myriad of beneficial purposes, especially arid and semi-arid regions. A significant portion municipal agricultural water demand satisfied through withdrawals Texas. These have to be monitored regulated balance with recharge amount from precipitation order ensure security. The goal this study understand spatio-tem...

The Yellow River Basin (YRB) is a fundamental ecological barrier in China and one of the regions where environment relatively fragile. Studying spatio-temporal variations vegetation coverage YRB their driving factors through long-time-series dataset great significance to eco-environmental construction sustainable development YRB. In this study, we sought characterize variation its climatic from...

Understanding the historical and future spatio-temporal changes in climate extremes their potential risk to rice production is crucial for achieving food security Bangladesh. This paper presents results from a study on trend analysis 13 metrics that significantly influence production. The was conducted using non-parametric Mann-Kendall test Theil-Sen slope estimator methods. included data all a...

This study presents a detailed analysis of changes in wind and wave climate the Western Mediterranean Sea (WMed), based on 41 years accurate hindcasts. The purpose this research is to assess magnitude recent locate coastal areas most affected by these changes. Starting from Theil-Sen slope estimator Mann Kendall test, trends mean Max significant heights (SWH) speed (WS) are analysed simultaneou...

Understanding spatiotemporal variability in rainfall patterns is crucial for evaluating water balances needed resources planning and management. This paper investigates assesses the frequency of daily observations from seven stations Kathmandu Valley, Nepal, 1971 to 2015. Daily totals were classified into five classes, namely, A (light rain, < 10 mm a day), B (moderate between 50 mm), C (heavy ...

Index numbers of prices and quantities are estimated in the framework of a two-way analysis of variance, based on the ideas of H. Theil and K. Banerjee. Topics include aggregation, multidimensional indices, and non-spherical errors. The method is applied to the commodity exports of developing nations. Copyright (c) 1997 Eric Blankmeyer
