Drought is one of the major natural hazards that bring about billions of dollars in loss to the farming community around theworld each year. Drought is most often caused by a departure of precipitation from the normal amount, and agriculture is often the first sector to be affected by the onset of drought due to its dependence on water resources and soil moisture reserves during various stages ...

The oyamel forests, as Abies dominated forests are commonly known as, register their largest distribution (95% of population) along the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt (TMVB). Although efforts have been made to study these with various approaches, dendrochronology-based studies limited, particularly in pure this region. objective was reconstruct fire regimes an religiosa forest Sierra Norte state P...

Climate change may cause severe hydrological droughts, leading to water shortages which will require be assessed using high-resolution data. Gravity Recovery and Experiment (GRACE) satellite Terrestrial Water Storage (TWSA) estimates offer a promising solution monitor drought, but its coarse resolution (1°) limits applications small regions of the Indus Basin Irrigation System (IBIS). Here we e...

Understanding the impact of drought on fire dynamics is crucial for assessing potential effects climate change wildfire activity in China. In this study, we present a series multiple linear regression (MLR) models linking burned area (BA) during mainland China’s season from 2001 to 2019, across seven regions, concurrent drought, antecedent and time trend. We estimated using Collection 6 Moderat...

drought is a gradual phenomenon and cause important changes in water resources, agriculture and so on. due to the stochastic behavior of factors that influence the occurrence and intense of drought, one can consider this phenomenon as a stochastic process. with respect to the importance of predicted drought severity and its vital influence in designing and operating water resources systems, thi...

Abstract. Mass livestock mortality events during severe winters, a phenomenon that Mongolians call dzud, cause the country significant socioeconomic problems. Dzud is an example of compound event, meaning multiple climatic and social drivers contribute to risk occurrence. Existing studies argue frequency intensity dzud are rising due combined effects climate change variability, most notably sum...

Vegetation coverage is very important in terrestrial ecosystems and climate systems. However, the observational record of normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), which started 1980s when satellites became widely used, too short to investigate history variation beyond modern observation period. Here, we present a 189 y series based on total 349 Mongolian pine (Pinus sylvestris var. mongol...

Climate change has amplified the severity of droughts with potentially adverse impacts on agriculture in western Canada. This study assessed meteorological and agricultural drought Southern Saskatchewan River Basin (SSRB) using an array indices, including Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI), Precipitation-Evapotranspiration (SPEI), Self-Calibrated Palmer Drought Severity (scPDSI), Soil Moist...
