The challenge of unprecedented floods and droughts in risk management

Heidi Kreibich et al.

Summary: Risk management can reduce the impacts of floods and droughts, but faces difficulties in managing unprecedented events of a greater magnitude. Improved risk management and integrated management can help lower the impacts of more hazardous events.

Recent leveling off of vegetation greenness and primary production reveals the increasing soil water limitations on the greening Earth

Xiaoming Feng et al.

Summary: Global vegetation photosynthesis and productivity have significantly increased since the 1980s, but by 2016, the growth began to level off with some areas showing browning. This was mainly due to increasing soil water limitations caused by drought expansion, indicating that the impacts of water stress may offset the benefits of global vegetation greening.

Combined effects of biomaterial amendments and rainwater harvesting on soil moisture, structure and apple roots in a rainfed apple orchard on the Loess Plateau, China

Binbin Zhang et al.

Summary: Adequate soil moisture and good soil structure are crucial for sustainable productivity in rain-fed apple orchards on China’s Loess Plateau. The combination of soil biomaterial amendment and rainwater harvesting (BARH) significantly improved soil moisture content, soil water storage, soil structure, and apple roots, showing promise as an effective cultivation measure for sustainable development.
