However, the impacts of soil moisture and soil drought at varying depths on vegetation phenology remain to be thoroughly explored. This study, based on multi-layer soil moisture (SM) and standardized soil moisture index (SSMI) data from 1982 to 2022, analyzes the influence of multi-layer seasonal soil moisture on vegetation phenology and investigates the optimal response time of vegetation phenology to multi-layer soil drought. The multi-layer SM and SSMI in the arid regions of Central Asia show an overall declining trend. In spring, the positive correlation between SM at the 0–7 cm layer and the start of the growing season (SOS) is the most significant. During autumn, the positive correlation between SM at the 7–28 cm layer and the end of the growing season (EOS) is the most prominent. The length of the growing season (LOS) generally exhibits a negative correlation with SM in spring, summer, and autumn, with the greatest impact of summer SM at the 28–100 cm layer. The optimal response time of SOS, EOS, and LOS to drought in the 0–7 cm, 7–28 cm, and 28–100 cm soil layers is 1–3 months, while in the 100–289 cm soil layer, the optimal response time is 12–24 months.

Flume experiments were conducted to investigate dynamic characteristics of horseshoe vortex (HV) system upstream of inclined rigid vegetation stems under shallow overland flow conditions. Five inclination angles (10°, 20°, 30°, 40°, 50°) were tested alongside a vertical column (0°) across four low Reynolds number conditions (<em>Re<sub>D</sub></em> = 2995–4639). Using high-precision particle image velocimetry (PIV) system, we measured the flow field in upstream symmetry plane of the cylinder. Then time-averaged primary HV features were analyzed in terms of the location, radius, vorticity, swirling strength, flow direction and vertical velocity. The increasing inclination angle weakens the formation of the HV system. This is evident in the decrease of vorticity and swirling strength, as well as the gradual diffusion and eventual rupture of the HV system. In the horizontal direction, the primary HV gradually moves away from the cylinder, with minimal vertical impact. The radius of the main HV is positively correlated with the tilt angle, while vorticity and rotation intensity are negatively correlated. We also examined the time-resolved characteristics of the velocity components. The probability density functions (PDFs) of streamwise and vertical velocity components show asymmetric double peaks, indicating two high-frequency events: backflow and downwelling. Linear random estimation revealed that the backflow event is driven by a high-momentum counter current passing through the primary HV, which is mainly dominated by a backflow mode, while the downwelling event arises from low-momentum fluid that cannot penetrate the HV, dominated by a zero-flow mode. These two modes exhibited minimum and maximum time percentages within the current time range, highlighting erosion dynamics from the perspectives of flow event frequency and momentum theory.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":362,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Hydrology","volume":"647 ","pages":"Article 132358"},"PeriodicalIF":5.9,"publicationDate":"2024-11-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142696335","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The differences reflect the variations in the geographical environment and the level of urban governance.

Concerning the causes of urban floods, the rainfall amounts are approximately equivalent in each region within the GBA, indicating that the external causes are mostly similar. Consequently, this study examines the effects of urbanization and flood management measures on urban floods under different social systems from the perspective of internal causes, taking Guangzhou and Hong Kong as examples. The results indicate that: (1) The flood degree in Guangzhou continues to increase, with the flood points increasing from 15 to 237, and the high-density areas expanding from a single-core to multi-core. In contrast, flood points in Hong Kong decreased from 136 to 17, and the high-density areas were concentrated in strips and gradually dispersed.

We used half-hourly eddy covariance flux data of CO<sub>2</sub> fluxes from two sites established over Pine and Oak dominated ecosystems in Uttarakhand, India. We conducted the analysis with the information theory-based Temporal Information Partitioning Networks (TIPNets) approach to generate weekly process networks. TIPNets represent directed lag-structured causal graphs to identify the causal relationships and capture the temporal association among the variables. Our analysis aimed to capture fluctuations in variables with up to 6 h of memory. Based on the data availability, we generated the weekly networks at both the sites for the monsoon and post-monsoon seasons of 2016 and 2017. In both ecosystems, the sub-daily scale variations among the micrometeorological variables are responsible for the fluctuations in NEE. The Pine ecosystem is found to be more sensitive to changes in air temperature (TA) and uptakes more CO<sub>2</sub> as compared to the Oak ecosystem throughout the study period. The transfer entropy links show that the NEE of the Oak ecosystem is moisture-driven (precipitation and relative humidity), while the Pine ecosystem is heat-driven (TA and net solar radiation) in both seasons. The influence of precipitation is not observed within a short memory of 6 h in the Pine ecosystem. This is because lesser fine roots take time to show the precipitation signature on NEE through infiltration, soil moisture, and root water uptake, compared to Oak.
