Global synthesis of groundwater recharge in semiarid and arid regions
Bridget R. Scanlon,K. E. Keese,Alan L. Flint,Lorraine E. Flint,C.B. Gaye,W. Michael Edmunds,Ian Simmers +6 more
TL;DR: A global synthesis of the findings from ∼140 recharge study areas in semi-arid and arid regions provides important information on recharge rates, controls, and processes, which are critical for sustainable water development as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tree mortality predicted from drought-induced vascular damage
William R. L. Anderegg,Alan L. Flint,Cho-ying Huang,Lorraine E. Flint,Joseph A. Berry,Frank W. Davis,John S. Sperry,Christopher B. Field +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a tree mortality threshold based on plant hydraulics suggests that increased drought may trigger widespread dieback in the southwestern United States by mid-century, which is the case in many parts of the world.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fine-grain modeling of species’ response to climate change: holdouts, stepping-stones, and microrefugia
Lee Hannah,Lorraine E. Flint,Alexandra D. Syphard,Max A. Moritz,Lauren B. Buckley,Ian M. McCullough +5 more
TL;DR: Because climate projections show that return to present climate is highly unlikely, conservation strategies need to be built around holdouts and stepping stones, rather than low-probability microrefugia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modeling plant species distributions under future climates: how fine scale do climate projections need to be?
Janet Franklin,Frank W. Davis,Makihiko Ikegami,Alexandra D. Syphard,Lorraine E. Flint,Alan L. Flint,Lee Hannah,Lee Hannah +7 more
TL;DR: As climate-data resolution became coarser, SDMs predicted larger habitat area with diminishing spatial congruence between fine- and coarse-scale predictions, which depended on climate scenario and species' range size.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fine-scale hydrologic modeling for regional landscape applications: the California Basin Characterization Model development and performance
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors demonstrate the utility of a Basin Characterization Model for California (CA-BCM) to integrate high-resolution data on physical watershed characteristics with historical or projected climate data to predict watershed specific hydrologic responses to changes in key climatic drivers across variable landscape conditions.
