This study exploits within-state variation in drought severity to identify how insurgency during the Mexican Revolution, a major early 20th century armed conflict, impacted subsequent government policies and long-run economic development. Using a novel municipal-level dataset on revolutionary insurgency, the study documents that municipalities experiencing severe drought just prior to the Revol...

The objective of this study was to investigate the role of β-aminobutyric acid(BABA) (0, 300µM) in reduction of oxidative damages in leaves and roots of Brassica napus L. under drought stress (0, -0.2, -0.4 MPa). β-aminobutyric acid was investigated as an internal regulator hormone and its role in defense  mechanisms against biotic and abioticstresses. In this study, BABA pretreatment prevented...

Lake Urmia (LU) is considered as the largest salt water lake in Iran and has severe restrictions on resources becoming a increasingly. The LU drought will Couse ecological, health, social economic problems. Land-use change increasing of areas evaluated this work using satellite imagery. We present situation changes area past further until 2025. results indicated that from 1987 to 2000, process ...

Litter decomposition is a fundamental process in soil carbon dynamics and nutrient turnover. However, litter arable systems remains poorly explored, it unclear whether different management practices, such as organic farming, conservation agriculture can mitigate drought effects on decomposition. Thus, we examined the of severe experimental four cropping systems, i.e., vs. conventional each with...

Effects of leaf rolling (LR) on maize photosynthesis under severe drought stress were studied in two cultivars with opposite drought responses, Batem 56-55 (drought tolerant) and Batem 51-52 (drought sensitive). Drought stress and artifi cial prevention of leaf rolling (PLR) were applied at grain fi lling stage for 30 days. LR in Batem 56-55 occurred later than in Batem 51-52. Leaf water potent...

according to the drought as the most important environmental factor that limiting agricultural products and using nitrogen as the most consumed nutrition element in farming system, in this study investigates examined the effect of nitrogen on drought tolerance characteristics, including changes in total chlorophyll content, total protein content, leaf area, phosphorus and peroxidase enzyme acti...

Models of global climate change predict an increase in the frequency of major droughts, yet we know little about the consequences of drought for the demography of natural populations. This study examined a population of the semi-desert perennial Cryptantha flava (Boraginaceae) to determine how plants of different developmental stages respond to drought through changes in leaf gas exchange, leaf...
