Abstract: Climate change has likely impacted crop yield potential in major rain-fed crop-growing regions. However, the impact on the spatial pattern across regions is unclear. Here, the wheat belt of Western Australia was used as a… read more here.

Abstract: Lakes—quintessential features of Earth's surface prized from perspectives of water security, aquatic ecosystems, and recreation alike—are shrinking in water‐limited regions of all of Earth's inhabited continents. Here we assessed Landsat‐derived long‐term decrease in global lake… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rspa.2017.0649
Abstract: In arid or semi-arid ecosystems, water availability is one of the primary controls on vegetation growth. When subsurface water resources are unavailable, the vegetation growth is dictated by the rainfall, and the random nature of… read more here.
