Abstract The FAO Irrigation and Drainage Paper No 56 on Crop Evapotranspiration has
been in publication for more than 15 years. The paper advanced the accuracy and …

In a globally warming climate, observed rates of atmospheric evaporative demand have
declined over recent decades. Several recent studies have shown that declining rates of …

We present new global maps of the Köppen-Geiger climate classification at an
unprecedented 1-km resolution for the present-day (1980–2016) and for projected future …

Revegetation of degraded ecosystems provides opportunities for carbon sequestration and
bioenergy production,. However, vegetation expansion in water-limited areas creates …

Understanding hydrological effects of ecological restoration (ER) is fundamental to develop
effective measures guiding future ER and to adapt climate change in China's Loess Plateau …

The accurate representation of spatio-temporal patterns of precipitation is an essential input
for numerous environmental applications. However, the estimation of precipitation patterns …

Reanalysis data are being increasingly used as gridded weather data sources for assessing
crop-reference evapotranspiration (ET0) in irrigation water-budget analyses at regional …

This guide to estimating daily and monthly actual, potential, reference crop and pan
evaporation covers topics that are of interest to researchers, consulting hydrologists and …

There is compelling evidence from glacial and interglacial periods of the Quaternary of the
utilization of microrefugia. Microrefugia are sites that support locally favorable climates …

Recently, relationship between vegetation activity and temperature variability has received
much attention in China. However, vegetation-induced changes in water resources through …
