Regardless of annual rainfall amount changes, daily rainfall events are becoming more
intense but less frequent with anthropogenic warming. Larger rainfall events and longer dry …

Vegetation cover change is one of the key indicators used for monitoring environmental
quality. It can accurately reflect changes in hydrology, climate, and human activities …

The growth of vegetation is affected by water availability, while vegetation growth also feeds
back to influence regional water balance. A better understanding of the relationship between …

Dry lands are expected to cover about half of the terrestrial surface in the near future due to
climate change. Drought events, which are recurrent over dry lands, are also projected to …

Elements of design and a field application of a TDR-based soil moisture and electrical
conductivity monitoring system are described with detailed presentation of the time delay …

We provide several examples for the coexistence of active and fixed sand dunes under
similar climatic conditions, namely, with respect to wind power and precipitation rate. A …

Drylands worldwide are exposed to a highly variable environment and face a high risk of
degradation. The effects of global climate change such as altered precipitation patterns and …

The complex interactions and feedbacks between humans and water are critically important
issues but remain poorly understood in the newly proposed discipline of socio-hydrology …

Vegetation patterns are a ubiquitous feature of water-deprived ecosystems. Despite the
competition for the same limiting resource, coexistence of several plant species is commonly …

When restoring dryland ecosystems, growing biological soil crust (biocrust) may greatly
change the redistribution of rainfall in layered soils. However, ecohydrological modelling …
