This study elucidates drought characteristics in China during 1980–2015 using two
commonly used meteorological drought indices: standardized precipitation index (SPI) and …

This work examines drought and flood events over Kenya from 1981 to 2016 using the
Standardized Precipitation–Evapotranspiration Index (SPEI). The spatiotemporal analysis of …

Droughts in Africa cause severe problems, such as crop failure, food shortages, famine,
epidemics and even mass migration. To minimize the effects of drought on water and food …

Global warming intensifies the water cycle and regional water condition differences by
changing the surface environment. The ecological system in environmental sensitive areas …

Evapotranspiration (ET) is one of the most important variables in terrestrial ecosystems,
linking the carbon-water-energy cycles. In this study, we first analyze the spatial patterns of …

Drought is one of the most complex natural phenomena affecting the life and livelihood of
people, especially in the current time of human-induced climate change. This research …

It is imperative that more powerful drought indicators are used to objectively quantify the
characteristics of droughts. A revised reconnaissance drought index (RDI) was used to …

Abstract Increase Vapor Pressure Deficit (VPD) imposes higher atmospheric demand on
land evaporation in the warming climate. However, it remains uncertain that how the …

This study quantifies the influences of climate variation and vegetation greening on the
changes in evapotranspiration (ET) over 110 humid catchments of China from 1982 to 2016 …
