Satellite-derived forest canopy greenness shows differential drought vulnerability of secondary forests compared to primary forests in Peru

Brian R. Zutta et al.

Summary: Understanding the greenness of tropical secondary forest canopies and their response to climate conditions is crucial for mitigating climate change, especially in the tropics where secondary forests act as significant carbon sinks and natural climate solutions. This study tested three hypotheses regarding canopy greenness and climatic pressures in primary and secondary forests in Peru. The results showed that secondary forests had higher annual and seasonal greenness changes compared to primary forests, indicating their higher productivity. However, secondary forests were also more vulnerable to prolonged drought. The most significant factors predicting greenness fluctuations in different forest types were land surface temperature and a plant water use index. These findings highlight the importance of considering tropical secondary forests in climate change mitigation efforts.

Dimensionality reduction for regional flood frequency analysis: Linear versus nonlinear methods

K. Haddad et al.

Summary: Regional flood frequency analysis is an important field of hydrology research due to the presence of ungauged catchments. Previous methods utilized linear dimensionality reduction techniques like canonical correlation analysis (CCA) to delineate hydrological clusters. This article introduces non-linear techniques, including kernel canonical correlation analysis (KCCA) and multidimensional scaling (MDS), in conjunction with Gaussian mixture models (GMM) to determine hydrologically similar clusters for flood frequency analysis. Comparing linear and non-linear methods using Victoria, Australia's data showcases the benefits of these approaches.

Evaluation of the impact of climate change on the streamflow of major pan-Arctic river basins through machine learning models

Shuyu Zhang et al.

Summary: Under a warmer climate, streamflow from the pan-Arctic River basins exhibits increasing trends in recent years. This study applied Support Vector Regression Model (SVR), Artificial Neural Network (ANN), and Multi-Variable Regression (MLR) model to simulate the monthly streamflow of four major pan-Arctic River basins. The results show that the annual streamflow of Mackenzie, Lena, and Yenisei river basins is projected to increase significantly under the influence of climate change.

Assessing and optimizing the hydrological performance of Grey-Green infrastructure systems in response to climate change and non-stationary time series

Mo Wang et al.

Summary: Climate change has increased the intensity and frequency of extreme meteorological events, posing a threat to urban drainage capacity. To combat urban flooding, a framework incorporating green and grey infrastructure has been proposed. This study presents a novel assessment framework including climate data analysis, optimal design solutions, and multi-criteria assessment to address uncertainties caused by climate change. A case study in Guangzhou, China demonstrates that the optimised Grey-Green infrastructure system outperforms the fully centralised grey infrastructure system in economic and hydrological performance under climate uncertainties.

Effects of Vegetation Restoration on the Hydrological Regimes of the Chinese Loess Plateau: A Comparative Analysis of Forested and Less-Forested Catchments

Haijie Yi et al.

Summary: Large-scale vegetation restoration has a significant impact on catchment hydrology. This study compares the changes in streamflow characteristics between less-forested catchments undergoing vegetation restoration and forested reference catchments in the Loess Plateau. The results show that vegetation restoration reduces stormflow and increases baseflow, leading to changes in hydrological regimes. In contrast, well-preserved vegetation in forested catchments maintains stable hydrological regimes.

Data-driven interpretation on interactive and nonlinear effects of the correlated built environment on shared mobility

Kun Gao et al.

Summary: Understanding the usage demand and determinants of shared mobility systems in different areas of a city is crucial for planning, operating, and managing the systems. This study uses an unbiased data-driven approach called accumulated effect analysis to examine the complex effects of correlated built environment factors on shared mobility usage. The findings show that the commonly used partial dependency analysis method results in biases, while accumulated local effect analysis can appropriately interpret the effects of correlated built environment factors. The results reveal nonlinear and threshold patterns in the effects of built environment factors on shared mobility usage, and also demonstrate complex interaction effects between different factors.

Spatiotemporal variations in the elasticity of runoff to climate change and catchment characteristics with multi-timescales across the contiguous United States

Xinglong Gong et al.

Summary: This study analyzes data from 188 catchments in the contiguous United States and finds a lack of understanding regarding the impact of timescales on runoff elasticity. The results show that the trend and values of runoff elasticity may not be affected by timescales. Additionally, catchment characteristics in certain western regions are found to be the second-most sensitive factor for runoff, following maximum temperature. The roles of potential evaporation, maximum temperature, and catchment characteristics on runoff become increasingly important from east to west. Furthermore, runoff elasticity is independent of precipitation, and wet regions tend to have lower elasticity of runoff. These findings are crucial for a better understanding of the factors influencing runoff elasticity.

Summary: This review focuses on the application of Interpretable Artificial Intelligence (IAI) and eXplainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) models in hydroclimatic predictions. The review finds that IAI models can unveil the rationale behind predictions, while XAI models can discover new knowledge and justify AI-based results, crucial for enhancing AI-driven predictions' accountability. The review also emphasizes the importance of domain knowledge and interventional IAI modeling, discusses the potential advantages and disadvantages of hybrid IAI and non-IAI predictive modeling, the unequivocal importance of balanced data in categorical decisions, and the choice and performance of IAI versus physics-based modeling. It concludes with a proposed XAI framework for enhancing interpretability and explainability of AI models in hydroclimatic applications.

How Do Climate and Catchment Attributes Influence Flood Generating Processes? A Large-Sample Study for 671 Catchments Across the Contiguous USA

L. Stein et al.

Summary: This study found that climate attributes have the most significant influence on the distribution of flood generating processes, but the impact of catchment attributes varies with different flood processes and climate types. The research also revealed that flood processes can be predicted for ungauged catchments with relatively high accuracy. These findings suggest that flood processes should be taken into consideration in future climate change impact studies, as the effects of climate changes on flood characteristics differ between flood processes.

Summary: This paper explores the use of catchment resilience as a unifying concept for managing and regulating catchments, emphasizing the ability of complex catchment systems to bounce back, absorb, and transform. It introduces six main complexity concepts that frame the evaluation of catchment resilience, highlighting the need to consider interactions between natural, social, and technical aspects, spatial and time scales, and uncertainty. The paper also identifies gaps in current practice and suggests future methodological approaches that should incorporate a linking systems or interaction analysis to enhance catchment resilience.
