DOI: 10.1007/s00267-017-0836-1
Abstract: Defining the ecological impacts of water extraction from free-flowing river systems in altered landscapes is challenging as multiple stressors (e.g., flow regime alteration, increased sedimentation) may have simultaneous effects and attributing causality is problematic. This… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00271-018-0597-5
Abstract: Adoption of drought-tolerant (DT) hybrids is a viable strategy for maize production in drought-prone environments. We conducted four-year field studies (2011–2014) to investigate yield, crop evapotranspiration (ETc), and water-use efficiency (WUE) in one conventional (N58L)… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00271-019-00633-7
Abstract: Agricultural production in California faces weather and hydrologic extremes of both floods and drought, both of which are detrimental to crop yield. Californian producers of high-valued perennial crops, thus, increasingly rely on groundwater extraction to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00442-021-04892-0
Abstract: Both increases in temperature and changes in precipitation may limit future tree growth, but rising atmospheric CO2 could offset some of these stressors through increased plant Water Use Efficiency (WUE). The net balance between the… read more here.
