Drought is a costly natural hazard with far-reaching impacts on agriculture, ecosystem, water
supply, and socio-economy. While propagating through the water cycle, drought evolves into …

Forest ecosystems in the Mediterranean Basin are mostly situated in the north of the Basin
(mesic). In the most southern and dry areas, the forest can only exist where topography …

Droughts in Africa cause severe problems, such as crop failure, food shortages, famine,
epidemics and even mass migration. To minimize the effects of drought on water and food …

Due to climate change and human activities, drought has become one of the most complex
natural disasters in the Huang-Huai-Hai River basin, China. The purpose of the current …

Flash droughts are characterized by rapid onset and intensification, as well as major
environmental and agricultural impacts. In this study, we developed an objective method for …

Flash drought is the result of strong precipitation deficits and/or anomalous increases in
atmospheric evaporative demand (AED), which triggers a rapid decline in soil moisture and …

Drought can cause severe agricultural economic losses and hinder social and economic
development. To manage drought, the process of drought events needs to be described with …
