Using Nile River Basin (NRB) as a testbed, this research examines spatial patterns, temporal changes, and overall trends of groundwater droughts using standardized groundwater drought index (SGDI) model in areas with distinct climate conditions. The study quantitatively assesses the influence of anthropogenic (LULC), meteorological, and teleconnection factors using correlation analysis, cross-wavelet transform, and Random Forest (RF) methods. Based on this study, groundwater droughts predominantly occurred between 2003 and 2013 with a general decreasing trend, and the occurrence of groundwater droughts was closely aligned with meteorological drought, with a propagation time of at least three months. Precipitation positively contributed to mitigating groundwater droughts across the study area but was insufficient to reverse drought intensification. Teleconnection factors significantly influenced the development of groundwater droughts, with DMI and ENSO identified as key contributors. Changes in LULC, such as a decrease in barren land, cropland, and grassland, along with an increase in vegetation and water bodies, played a key role in alleviating groundwater droughts in NRB. Conversely, the expansion of urban areas did not seem to worsen drought conditions. Quantitative analysis highlights LULC and meteorological factors as the primary drivers of groundwater droughts, though the influence of teleconnection factors, while weaker, remains important. Overall, this study highlights factors influencing groundwater droughts, supporting decision-making for sustainable groundwater management in diverse climates.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":9801,"journal":{"name":"Catena","volume":"257 ","pages":"Article 109194"},"PeriodicalIF":5.4,"publicationDate":"2025-06-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144189958","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This raises concerns about whether such changes could increase abnormal precipitation events, thereby stimulating more widespread slope failures and vegetation changes, ultimately disturbing the landscape. The Baihetan Hydropower Station, located on the lower Jinsha River in China, serves as a case study for exploring these effects. By monitoring long-term surface deformations, abnormal precipitation, topography, geomorphological parameters, and vegetation changes, we have gained insights into the macro disturbances caused by water level fluctuations. Since the reservoir began storing water, slope failures have markedly increased, particularly in the form of creeping slopes and bank collapses in the drawdown zone. This period has also seen a reduction in total precipitation, an increase in abnormal precipitation, and slower vegetation growth. Further analysis reveals that while rising water levels primarily destabilize reservoir shore slope-failures, precipitation also significantly influences this instability. The greatest threat to shore stability arises when water levels drop and are followed by heavy rainfall. Although the severity of abnormal precipitation has increased post-impoundment, it has not led to more extreme precipitation events. Vegetation growth on active slopes near the reservoir is mainly controlled by changes in precipitation, with vegetation decline due to slope instability being limited and not widespread. These findings contradict initial assumptions, indicating that landscape disturbances due to water storage are limited and have not led to severe, uncontrollable chain reactions.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":9801,"journal":{"name":"Catena","volume":"257 ","pages":"Article 109197"},"PeriodicalIF":5.4,"publicationDate":"2025-05-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144146844","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, a concerning trend reveals that more than 15 % of peatlands worldwide have been drained; this hydrological problem is expected to deepen with the ongoing global warming. The appropriate management of the water table depth (WTD) emerges as an essential strategy in the protection of peatlands from drainage and degradation. These ecosystems are also under the influence of seasonal hydrological changes, which exert profound effects. A low water table facilitates oxygen availability in the peat, leading to the decomposition of organic matter and significant shifts in vegetation. Conversely, high water table levels encourage anaerobic conditions, fostering peat accumulation while suppressing microbial activity. Extreme climate events or human interventions further trigger water table fluctuations, potentially pushing peatlands beyond recovery thresholds and leading to irreversible degradation. Therefore, this comprehensive review and <em>meta</em>-analysis explores the responses of peatlands to water table fluctuations. We tried to identify critical tipping points driving vegetation succession, nutrient cycling, acidity levels, and exoenzymatic activities. The study found out deeper levels of WTD are needed to trigger the chain of effects in peatland balance for bogs (from –31 cm to –23 cm) than for fens (from –14 cm to –12 cm)( and that some changes are only directly related with WTD in undisturbed peatlands (e.g. changes in acidity, less stable vegetation succession). Recognising these critical thresholds is of utmost importance, as it holds the key to preventing further degradation of invaluable peatland ecosystems and appropriate restoration methods.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":9801,"journal":{"name":"Catena","volume":"257 ","pages":"Article 109149"},"PeriodicalIF":5.4,"publicationDate":"2025-05-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144146843","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
