Re-assessment of the climatic controls on the carbon and water fluxes of a boreal aspen forest over 1996-2016: Changing sensitivity to long-term climatic conditions

Peng Liu et al.

Summary: The study reveals that the relationships between climate and carbon and water fluxes in boreal forests are influenced by temperature and water availability. However, the temperature sensitivity and phenological controls have changed over the study period, possibly due to forest structure aging and increased tree mortality following severe drought.

Dew/hoar frost on the canopies and underlying surfaces of two typical desert shrubs in Northwest China and their relevance to drought

Xiaonan Guo et al.

Summary: Dew and hoar frost are important water sources in dryland ecosystems, but their characteristics on shrub canopies and surfaces are not well understood. This study examined the frequency, duration, and amount of dew/hoar frost on two common species in northern China. Results showed diurnal and seasonal variations in dew/hoar frost duration, with dew being a significant water supply during periods of drought.

Technical note: High-accuracy weighing micro-lysimeter system for long-term measurements of non-rainfall water inputs to grasslands

Andreas Riedl et al.

Summary: Non-rainfall water (NRW) is an important water source for ecosystems, but often overlooked due to its small quantity. We have developed a novel micro-lysimeter system that accurately measures NRW inputs and distinguishes between different types of NRW. The system has been proven to be useful in short-statured grasslands.

A global analysis of agricultural productivity and water resource consumption changes over cropland expansion regions

Zhengjia Liu et al.

Summary: Global cropland area is increasing, with significant expansion in regions like Eastern Asia, Southern Asia, Eastern Europe, Southern America, and Northern America. The expansion of new croplands has negative impact on Net Primary Productivity and Evapotranspiration, especially in Southern America. While new croplands in Asia and North America improve agricultural productivity, they also lead to increased water resource consumption.

Investigating the role of evaporation in dew formation under different climates using 17O-excess

Chao Tian et al.

Summary: This study investigated the role of evaporation during dew formation under different climate conditions, using isotopic analysis and evaporation models to examine the effects of key meteorological variables on O-17-excess variations. Results showed that O-17-excess tracer can distinguish different evaporation processes during dew formation, providing improved understanding of dew formation processes influenced by temperature, relative humidity, and climate settings.

Dew formation characteristics in the gravel desert ecosystem and its ecological roles on Reaumuria soongorica

Yanli Zhuang et al.

Summary: This study investigates dew formation characteristics and its ecological effects on vegetation water status and photosynthetic performance in the gravel desert ecosystem at the edge of a desert oasis in Northwestern China. Water adsorption is the primary pathway of dew formation, with an average daily dew amount of 0.06 mm. Dew was found to occur on 36% of growing season days, with the cumulative amount of dew for days with dew amounts >0.03 mm accounting for 82% of the total dew events. Factors like relative humidity, air temperature, wind speed, and temperature differences significantly influence dew formation. Dew events were shown to improve the relative water content, water potential, and photosynthetic performance of Reaumuria soongorica plants, highlighting the importance of dew as a supplementary water source in the gravel desert ecosystem.

Biophysical control on nighttime sap flow in Salix psammophila in a semiarid shrubland ecosystem

Muhammad Hayat et al.

Summary: The study revealed that nighttime sap flow in desert-dwelling shrubs is influenced by air temperature, water vapor pressure deficit, stomatal conductance, and soil water content, with daytime sap flow rates significantly higher than those at night, forming a positive linear association during the growing season. The multiple regression model analysis showed that together, temperature, water vapor pressure deficit, and stomatal conductance explain 63% of the variation in nighttime sap flow, highlighting the importance of temperature and soil water content in controlling nighttime water losses through transpiration.

Does actual cropland water consumption change with evaporation potential in the Lower Yellow River?

Zhigang Sun et al.

Summary: The North China Plain is a crucial region for food production in China but faces challenges due to agricultural practices causing a decline in groundwater levels and altering evaporation patterns. A study on the winter wheat-summer maize cropping system from 1992-2014 revealed a decrease in annual AET before 2008, followed by a rebound post-2008, mainly attributed to increased summer maize AET. Water use efficiency increased from 1992-2008 but sharply decreased from 2008-2014, influenced by changes in crop yield and climate factors. Strategies to improve WUE are crucial in the context of climate change and extreme weather events.

Dynamics of Nocturnal Evapotranspiration and Its Biophysical Controls over a Desert Shrubland of Northwest China

Xiaonan Guo et al.

Summary: This study highlights the dynamics and biophysical controls of nocturnal evapotranspiration (ETN) in desert-dwelling shrub ecosystems. ETN was found to be higher in mid-summer and lower in spring and autumn, with different controlling factors at different stages. Annual average ETN accounts for 4% of daytime ET, and drought can lead to a decline in ETN. These findings emphasize the importance of considering ETN in water cycle studies and for sustainable water management in desert ecosystems facing climate change.
