Identical hierarchy of physical drought types for climate change signals and uncertainty
Climate change may have different impacts on different types of drought through its influence on the mechanisms of the propagation of a precipitation lack into a hydrological or agricultural drought. The involvement of additional processes in runoff and soil moisture modeling potentially leads to discrepancies in the projection uncertainties and si...
Modeling the effects of improved irrigation methods in a groundwater system: A case study from the Amu Darya Delta, Uzbe...
Suitable groundwater levels have a significant influence on vegetation growth, regional salinization, and ecological sustainability. Because of long-term low-efficiency irrigation methods and water canals, the stream flows vanish before reaching the South Aral Sea, leading to a rapid shrinkage of lake coverage since 1960. Meanwhile, the groundwater...
Bridging scales : an approach to evaluate the temporal patterns of global transpiration products using tree‐scale sap fl...
Transpiration is a key process driving energy, water and thus carbon dynamics. Global transpiration products are fundamental for understanding and predicting vegetation processes. However, validation of these transpiration products is limited, mainly due to lack of suitable data sets. We propose a method to use SAPFLUXNET, the first quality-control...

Assessment of Three Long-Term Satellite-Based Precipitation Estimates against Ground Observations for Drought Characteri...
Long-term satellite-based precipitation estimates (LSPE) play a significant role in climatological studies like drought monitoring. In this study, three popular LSPEs (Precipitation Estimation from Remotely Sensed Information using Artificial Neural Networks–Climate Data Record (PERSIANN-CDR), Rainfall Estimates from Rain Gauge and Satellite Observ...

The contribution of transpiration to precipitation over African watersheds
The redistribution of biological (transpiration) and non-biological (interception loss, soil evaporation) fluxes of terrestrial evaporation via atmospheric circulation and precipitation is an important Earth system process. In vegetated ecosystems, transpiration dominates terrestrial evaporation and is thought to be crucial for regional moisture re...
Calibrating SoilGen2 for interglacial soil evolution in the Chinese Loess Plateau considering soil parameters and the ef...
To better understand interglacial paleosol development by quantifying the paleosol development processes on the Chinese Loess Plateau (CLP), we need a soil genesis model calibrated for long timescales. Here, we calibrate a process-based soil genesis model, SoilGen2, by confronting simulated and measured soil properties for the Holocene and MIS-13 p...
Simulation of site‐scale water fluxes in desert and natural oasis ecosystems of the arid region in Northwest China
The study of water fluxes is important to better understand hydrological cycles in arid regions. Data-driven machine learning models have been recently applied to water flux simulation. Previous studies have built site-scale simulation models of water fluxes for individual sites separately, requiring a large amount of data from each site and signif...
