These data represent the extent and spatial distribution of irrigated acreage delineated from maximum Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) derived from Landsat scenes in the Walker River Basin, California and Nevada, at five-year intervals from 1975-2010. The field boundaries in this…
Downstream Missouri River states have worried for decades about receiving an insufficient flow of water from upstream dams. Now they're worried their share of water could be further diminished by potential pipelines for dry Western states. The concern is the…
Warm and dry conditions across Oklahoma are delaying fall foliage changes, with shorter days signaling trees to prepare for the season ahead. Oklahoma’s warm fall weather, with highs in the low 80s and no freeze, is delaying the seasonal changes in…
A seven-day experiment in maize seedlings found that 50 and 100 micromoles per litre of melatonin partially alleviated drought injury through distinct physiological and transcriptomic responses, and highlighted a candidate gene whose role in the melatonin response remains unproven.
The combination of heat waves and drought markedly reduces the capacity of street trees to cool the air in Mediterranean cities. The lack of soil moisture severely restricts plant transpiration, reducing the thermal relief provided by these trees during extreme…
A record-breaking El Niño winter and the potential loss or weakening of federal disaster management services are among the factors that could determine whether Californians face catastrophic floods this winter and beyond. A report released today from the Securing California's…
In an effort to keep NSF.gov current, the archive contains older information that may not reflect current policy or programs. New research by Joanna Blaszczak of the University of Nevada, Reno and her colleagues shows that hypoxia in rivers…
Workflow for identifying compound drought–fire events and schematic illustration of the time window used to define isolated compound meteorological drought–fire events. H.X. and Q.W. were supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China under Grants…
A heterogeneity-aware meta-analysis of four public tomato RNA-seq datasets identified 5,681 drought-responsive candidate genes and profiled ten of them by RT-qPCR in soil-dried Micro-Tom plants.
Groundwater is the world’s largest unfrozen freshwater reserve. Australia’s Great Artesian Basin alone holds enough water to fill Sydney Harbour 130,000 times. Worldwide, groundwater provides drinking water for half the world’s population. Countries like Denmark and Austria rely entirely on it…
