Th e aims of the study were to apply, test and to present the ability of the deterministic simulation models SIMWASER and CERES-Wheat computing soil-water balance components, percolation losses, ground water recharge and capillary rise. Two case studies for the assessment of percolation losses from irrigated carrots to deep groundwater at Obersiebenbrunn in the Marchfeld (Austria) and ground wa...

In 2022, the record of extreme weather events already includes deep droughts in Sichuan province, China, and California, US; floods inundating a third Pakistan serious repeated flooding Eastern Australia; heat waves drought Europe; wildfires Europe western US [...]

Abstract. The increasing rate of occurrence extreme events (droughts and floods) their rapid transition magnify the associated socio-economic impacts with respect to those caused by individual event. Understanding spatio-temporal evolution wet–dry collectively, characteristics, (wet dry wet) is therefore significant identify locate most vulnerable hotspots, providing basis for adaptation mitiga...

Long-distance dispersal (LDD) of plants poses challenges to research because it involves rare events driven by complex and highly stochastic processes. The current surge of renewed interest in LDD, motivated by growing recognition of its critical importance for natural populations and communities and for humanity, promises an improved, quantitatively derived understanding of LDD. To gain deep i...

The Cusco Region, due to its geographical and climatic peculiarities, is prone extreme events, such as the increase in average temperature, intense rainfall, agronomic meteorological droughts. Citrus fruits, like oranges, adapt different climates; however, growth, flowering phenology fruit set are affected by changes temperatures lack of rain; therefore, these abiotic factors detrimental citrus...

We compared high-resolution reconstructions of peatland water-table depth at two raised bogs in the western Great Lakes region separated by ∼1000 km. The sites included Minden Bog in southeastern Michigan and Hole-in-the-Bog in north-central Minnesota. Our objectives were to 1) determine whether large, decadal to multidecadal droughts of the past 2000 yrs were spatially and temporally coherent ...

Meteorological droughts like those in summer 2003 or spring 2011 in Europe are expected to become more frequent in the future. Although the spatial extent of these drought events was large, not all regions were affected in the same way. Many catchments reacted strongly to the meteorological droughts showing low levels of streamflow and groundwater, while others hardly reacted. Also, the extent ...

introduction long-term annual extreme climate events, especially temperature and precipitation, have generally been used as indicators for the assessment of climate change. one of the most changeable climatic variables in time and space is precipitation. there are great number of research papers focusing on extreme precipitation on global, regional and national scales have been written. the res...

Drought events in the Mediterranean are likely to increase in frequency, duration and intensity due to climate change, thereby affecting crop production. Information about drought is valuable for river basin authorities and the farmers affected by their decisions. The economic value of this information and the resulting decisions are of interest to these two stakeholder groups and to the inform...
