Analysis of moisture trends using rank-based …

1. Introduction. moisture (SM) is considered an essential climate variable (GCOS, 2010).It exerts control on the water and energy exchange between the and the atmosphere, as it behaves as a storage component for precipitation and induces persistence in the climate system (Martínez-Fernández et al., 2021; Piles et al., 2021; Seneviratne et al., 2010).

The Impact of Agricultural Erosion on the … –

Abstract. Agricultural erosion is thought to perturb the global carbon cycle, but estimates of its effect range from a source of 1 petagram per year –1 to a sink of the same magnitude. By using caesium-137 and carbon inventory measurements from a large-scale survey, we found consistent evidence for an erosion-induced sink of atmospheric ...

erosion and runoff: The need to rethink mitigation …

An average rate of loss for by sheet and rill erosion, based on modelling, of 2.46 t/ha/year has been proposed (Panagos, Borrelli, et al., 2016; Panagos, Imeson, et al., 2016). These rates are not a threat to our ability to continue to produce crops for hundreds of years except in areas of extremely thin soils.

They argued that low moisture dries air masses in Southern , which, as they move northward, decrease cloudiness and enhance the atmospheric evaporative demand. Our hydrologic simulation is in agreement with their hypothesis, showing that, during the compound warm-season events of CEU, January to April moisture deficits in MED ...

Abstract moisture–atmosphere interactions are key elements of the regional climate system.
