Abstract

Winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is one of major crops in the area along Huai river, China where it is a semi-arid and semi-humid region with sufficient precipitation for an entire season, but with uneven distribution within various growth stages. The instability of precipitation is an important ...

Abstract

Pest profiles in today's global food production system are continually affected by climate change and extreme weather. Under varying climatic conditions, plant-parasitic nematodes (PPNs) cause substantial economic damage to a wide variety of agricultural and horticultural commodities. In parallel,...

Abstract

All nature relies on water, yet climate change threatens water availability to the highest degree-from too much (e.g. extreme weather; flooding) to too little (e.g. droughts; wildfires). These water shifts threaten all life on earth. Societies' safe and reliable water accessibility faces growing...

Abstract

Flood is one of the most common hazards in many countries, affecting both life and properties. The recent climatic changes have brought a rise in both flood frequency and intensity making this phenomenon more devastating to people. Especially, the riparian communities of Jamalpur along the Jamuna...

Abstract

There is consensus that the risk of flooding is increasing in many parts of Africa and globally due to climate variability and change-induced extreme weather events. Floods are often considered a necessity by the conservation community in semi-arid regions since they recharge important aquifers and ...

Abstract

Near-term freshwater forecasts, defined as sub-daily to decadal future predictions of a freshwater variable with quantified uncertainty, are urgently needed to improve water quality management as freshwater ecosystems exhibit greater variability due to global change. Shifting baselines in...

Abstract

Land degradation and soil erosion are becoming increasingly problematic in Africa's rapidly developing urban areas, particularly in Major Port Cities. Uncontrolled expansion and human pressures are hindering planning, adaptation, and conservation efforts. To understand the extent of these issues,...

Abstract

In 2020 and 2021, fish-kills events occurred in the Tiber river in the city of Rome. These events, which caused the death of thousands of fish of different species (e.g., Barbusspp., Cyprinuscarpio, Squaliusspp.), were preceded the days before by severe flash-storms. Heavy rains in urban areas in...

Abstract

Background and Aims: Understanding shifts in the demographic and functional composition of forests after major natural disturbances has become increasingly relevant given the accelerating rates of climate change and elevated frequency of natural disturbances. Although plant demographic strategies...
