Abstract. Compound flooding, where the combination or successive occurrence of two more flood drivers leads to a greater impact, can exacerbate adverse consequences particularly in coastal–estuarine regions. This paper reviews practices and trends compound research synthesizes regional global findings. A systematic review is employed construct literature database 279 studies relevant flooding context. explores types events their mechanistic processes, it terminology throughout literature. Considered are six (fluvial, pluvial, coastal, groundwater, damming/dam failure, tsunami) five precursor environmental conditions (soil moisture, snow, temp/heat, fire, drought). Furthermore, this summarizes methodology study application trends, as well considers influences climate change urban environments. Finally, highlights knowledge gaps discusses implications on future practices. Our recommendations for (1) adopt consistent approaches, (2) expand geographic coverage research, (3) pursue inter-comparison projects, (4) develop modelling frameworks that better couple dynamic Earth systems, (5) design coastal infrastructure with compounding mind.

Land use as an important indicator for water quality prediction in a region under rapid urbanization

Ecological Indicators, Journal Year: 2022, Volume and Issue: 146, P. 109768 - 109768

Published: Dec. 8, 2022

Land use and land cover (LULC) have significant impacts on river water quality, particularly in regions subjected to rapid urbanization. However, it is unclear whether LULC (LULC type pattern index) can be used as an effective indicator predict quality over the urbanization regions. Here, we investigated spatiotemporal changes of their a flowing through rapidly developed area China. Then, cellular automata-Markov model was established LULC, which key future by multiple linear regression model. The results showed that construction experienced growth between 2000 2010 taking arable great extent, number patch (NP) downward trend during 2000–2010. biochemical oxygen demand five days (BOD5), total nitrogen (TN), phosphorus (TP) exhibited significantly positive correlations with land, while dissolved (DO) negative correlation land.

Extreme weather events are expected to increase due climate change, which could pose an additional burden of morbidity and mortality. In recent decades, drought severity has increased in several regions around the world, affecting health by increasing risk water-, food-, vector-borne diseases, malnutrition, cardiovascular respiratory illness, mental disorders, Drought frequency worsen across large as a result decrease precipitation temperature atmospheric evaporative demand, posing pressing challenge for public health. Variation impacts among countries communities is multiple factors, such aging, socioeconomic status, access care, gender, population resilience.

Introduction With the continuous changes in climate patterns due to global warming, drought has become an important limiting factor development of terrestrial ecosystems. However, a comprehensive understanding impact on soil microbial activity at scale is lacking. Methods In this study, we aimed examine effects biomass (carbon [MBC], nitrogen [MBN], and phosphorus [MBP]) enzyme (β-1, 4-glucosidase [BG]; β-D-cellobiosidase [CBH]; β-1, 4-N-acetylglucosaminidase [NAG]; L-leucine aminopeptidase [LAP]; acid phosphatase [AP]). Additionally, conducted meta-analysis determine degree which these are regulated by vegetation type, intensity, duration, mean annual temperature (MAT). Result discussion Our results showed that significantly decreased MBC, MBN, MBP levels BG AP 22.7%, 21.2%, 21.6%, 26.8%, 16.1%, respectively. terms mainly affected MBC MBN croplands grasslands. Furthermore, response ratio BG, CBH, NAG, LAP were negatively correlated with whereas CBH duration. NAG MAT. conclusion, reduced scale. highlight strong carbon- phosphorus-acquiring activity.

Uncovering the Dynamics of Multi‐Sector Impacts of Hydrological Extremes: A Methods Overview

Earth s Future, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 12(1)

Published: Jan. 1, 2024

Abstract Hydrological extremes, such as droughts and floods, can trigger a complex web of compound cascading impacts (CCI) due to interdependencies between coupled natural social systems. However, current decision‐making processes typically only consider one impact disaster event at time, ignoring causal chains, feedback loops, conditional dependencies impacts. Analyses capturing these patterns across space time are thus needed inform effective adaptation planning. This perspective paper aims bridge this critical gap by presenting methods for assessing the dynamics multi‐sector CCI hydrological extremes. We discuss existing challenges, good practices, potential ways forward. Rather than pursuing single methodological approach, we advocate pluralism. see complementary or even convergent roles analyses based on quantitative (e.g., data‐mining, systems modeling) qualitative mental models, storylines). The data‐driven knowledge‐driven provided here serve useful starting point understanding both high‐frequency low‐likelihood but high‐impact CCI.
