Adapting agriculture to climate change via sustainable irrigation: biophysical potentials and feedbacks
L Rosa - Environmental Research Letters, 2022 - iopscience.iop.org
Irrigated agriculture accounts for∼ 90% of anthropogenic freshwater consumption, is
deployed on 22% of cultivated land, and provides 40% of global food production. Expanding …

Influence of the spatial distribution of vegetation and soils on the prediction of cumulus convective rainfall
RA Pielke Sr - Reviews of Geophysics, 2001 - Wiley Online Library
This paper uses published work to demonstrate the link between surface moisture and heat
fluxes and cumulus convective rainfall. The Earth's surface role with respect to the surface …

Soil drought can mitigate deadly heat stress thanks to a reduction of air humidity
Global warming increases the number and severity of deadly heatwaves. Recent heatwaves
often coincided with soil droughts that intensify air temperature but lower air humidity. Since …

Evidence of enhanced precipitation due to irrigation over the Great Plains of the United States
At the end of World War II, there was a rapid increase in irrigation over the Ogallala Aquifer
in the Great Plains of the United States via groundwater withdrawal, and we hypothesize that …

Direct human influence of irrigation on atmospheric water vapour and climate
Human activity increases the atmospheric water vapour content in an indirect way through
climate feedbacks. We conclude here that human activity also has a direct influence on the …
