However, a global-scale assessment of RBD, identification of reservoirs at higher risk of water shortages, and the dominant drivers (climate vs. human) remain underexplored. Addressing these gaps is critical for identifying where overreliance on reservoirs may undermine long-term sustainability and where targeted policy and management reforms are needed. Here, we evaluate RBD at 1203 large global reservoirs, representing 81% of the total global reservoir storage capacity. We further evaluate drought propagation time from meteorological drought (MD) to RBD, recovery time, and severity. We then use these metrics to classify reservoirs into low- and high-risk categories. The results suggest that reservoirs in tropical regions face faster drought propagation, whereas those in dry climates witness longer recovery times and greater severity. Recovery time and severity are substantially higher for irrigation and water supply reservoirs. Nearly 24% of all reservoirs are at high risk of water shortages with long recovery times and high severity. Irrigation reservoirs have the highest proportion (37%) of high-risk reservoirs, suggesting that overreliance on them could exacerbate future water shortages. Notably, 834 of the 1,203 reservoirs-nearly 70% of the total-have a linkage probability (i.e., percentage of RBD linked to upstream MD) greater than 80%, indicating that climate is the dominant driver of RBD. Through the lens of RBD, this study provides a deeper understanding of water shortages and facilitates more efficient water resource planning and management.</p>","PeriodicalId":10530,"journal":{"name":"Communications Earth & Environment","volume":"7 1","pages":"581"},"PeriodicalIF":9.3,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13345930/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148419317","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the mid- to late 20th century, drought limitations already dominate nearly half of Canada's forested area, while cold limitations are largely restricted to high-latitude and montane regions. Examining changes in growth limitation through time, we identify four response modes across regions: persistence, shifts from cold to drought limitation, reversals toward cold limitation after mid-century drought sensitivity, and stable cold limitation in wet hydroclimates.

In contrast, sex pheromones are larger, less volatile, and more reactive, suffering dramatic reductions in lifetime and spatial range under polluted nocturnal conditions. A key driver of this decline is gas-to-aerosol partitioning, which can remove pheromones from the gas phase faster than chemical degradation.

We investigate the coupled effects of meltwater input and nutrient dynamics around two of the largest known icebergs, A-76A and A-23A, using silicon isotopes alongside hydrographic, meltwater, and macronutrient observations to examine nutrient cycling. Around A-76A, enhanced glacial meltwater input coincides with macronutrient variability and strong silicon isotope fractionation, indicating diatom utilisation sustained by continued macronutrient supply. In contrast, waters around A-23A show minimal glacial meltwater enhancement and remain macronutrient-rich, with no silicon isotope fractionation, indicating limited biological uptake despite favourable background conditions. These contrasting regimes reveal that iceberg influence on ocean biogeochemistry is highly heterogeneous, reflecting the combined effects of micronutrient fertilisation, macronutrient resupply, and environmental context.
