Water is a critical resource, but ensuring its availability faces challenges from climate
extremes and human intervention. In this Review, we evaluate the current and historical …

Droughts have severe impacts on the economy, society, and environment. They also have
impacts on groundwater and vice versa. While most analyses consider drought and …

Snow accumulation and its melt are key hydrological processes in cold watersheds, which
can affect groundwater (GW). With climate change projected to alter snow processes in …

Groundwater depletion is a major threat to agricultural and municipal water supply in
California's Central Valley. Recent droughts during 2007–2009 and 2012–2016 …

This study aimed to assess the impact of salinity in the root zone on crop yields and
profitability in the Central Valley. A comprehensive biophysical model was developed by …

Crop rotation is one strategy for adapting agroecosystems to a framework that balances
ecological diversity, sustainability, and food production. The Sacramento Valley, one of the …

Flooded rice soils are unique in terms of maintaining soil fertility and long-term productivity,
allowing continuous rice systems to contribute greatly to global food supply. Yet increasing …

Satellite based vegetation indices are increasingly used to characterize vegetation's
response to climate variability and change over large spatial extents. The use of a given …

Mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture requires an understanding of
spatial‐temporal dynamics of nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions. Process‐based models can …

Irrigation water use and crop production may be severely limited by both water shortages
and increased salinity levels. However, impacts of crop-specific salinity limitations on …
