Despite the launch of Africa's Great Green Wall (AGGW) initiative by the African Union to combat desertification in the semi-arid Sahel region, there remains a limited comprehensive long-term spatiotemporal assessment of drought patterns. In this study, we analyzed the drought spatiotemporal characteristics in the AGGW region using the Standardized Precipitation-Evapotranspiration Index (SPEI) at multiple timescales (1-month, 3-month, 6-month, 9-month, and 12-month) from 1950 to 2022. Despite regional variations, the results showed an overall increasing drought trend across the AGGW during the past 73 years. Trends of drought change per year were −0.012, −0.015, −0.018, −0.009, and −0.021 for SPEI01, SPEI03, SPEI06, SPEI09, and SPEI12, respectively. Significant spatial variability in drought duration, frequency, intensity, and trend were observed, mainly larger values concentrated in the northern and central areas of AGGW. Two significant turning points were detected, occurring in 1973 and 1996 that indicated the periods of 1950–1972 and 1973–1995 non-significant drought increase while significant severe drought occurred in the late periods (1996–2022), with widespread spatial coverage. Seasonal drought variation demonstrates an increasing trend in autumn, spring, summer, and winter across all SPEI time scales, with notably larger rates during autumn and winter. Finally, these findings provide important insights into the characteristics and mechanisms of droughts across the AGGW region and have a significant implication for drought adaptation and mitigation strategies to meet the core objectives of the AGGW regional initiative.</p>","PeriodicalId":16003,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences","volume":"130 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2025-04-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143822173","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, we propose an innovative approach combining remote sensing imagery and machine learning (ML) with climate and survey data to predict future crop phenological shifts across the US corn and soybean systems. Specifically, our projected findings demonstrate distinct acceleration patterns—under the RCP 4.5/RCP 8.5 scenarios, corn planting, silking, maturity, and harvesting stages would significantly advance by 0.94/1.66, 1.13/2.45, 0.89/2.68, and 1.04/2.16 days/decade during 2021–2099, respectively.

These spatially explicit projections illustrate how crop phenology would respond to future climate change, highlighting widespread and progressively earlier phenological timing.

We use CO<sub>2</sub> fluxes measured using eddy covariance over a cemetery (less managed) and golf course (more managed) to investigate the contribution of turfgrass lawns to biogenic CO<sub>2</sub> fluxes in Indianapolis, IN. We assess the ability of a simple light-use efficiency model, the Vegetation Photosynthesis and Respiration Model (VPRM), commonly used to create prior fluxes necessary for determining urban carbon dioxide (CO<sub>2</sub>) fluxes via inversion modeling, to represent daily and seasonal patterns in turfgrass CO<sub>2</sub> fluxes. Our results show that the existing VPRM Plant Functional Types (PFTs) cannot capture observed daily and seasonal fluxes at either location. We then use data from these sites to create a new turfgrass PFT for the VPRM. We find that less-managed lawns like cemeteries are best represented by different parameters than heavily managed lawns like golf courses, and seasonally changing parameters best match the observed fluxes. We then use the new turfgrass PFT within the VPRM to explore daily and seasonal variability in turfgrass fluxes and their impact, integrated across the city, on urban ecosystem CO<sub>2</sub> fluxes.

However, the presence of dams and other impoundments increase water residence time and could dampen these effects. Here, we examine DOM biogeochemistry in the Hudson River (New York, USA), which experiences intermittent periods of elevated discharge and receives a seasonally varied series of inputs from urban, agricultural, and forested landscapes. DOM was quantified and characterized using optical spectroscopic techniques, including parallel factor analysis (PARAFAC) modeling of fluorescent DOM components. Our findings indicate that the influence of land cover on DOM composition is secondary to that of hydrologic management. We also found DOM pulse-shunt effects to be more muted in the upper Hudson River watershed, where more water is retained by dams and reservoirs than in the Mohawk River watershed.

FETCH4 simulates water transport through the soil, roots, and stem as porous media flow. Stomatal conductance is controlled by xylem water potential, which is resolved along the vertical dimension. A key feature of FETCH4 is a multispecies canopy formulation, which uses crown and stem dimensional characteristics to allow the model to produce both tree-level and plot-level outputs and improves the representation of hydraulic traits and their variation among trees and species. We demonstrate the model's performance in a mixed temperate forest in Michigan with species of contrasting hydraulic strategies. We optimize species-specific hydraulic parameters using a Bayesian optimization framework incorporating sapflow measurements. FETCH4 performed well in simulating sapflow of species with contrasting hydraulic strategies under conditions of water stress.
