TL;DR: The importance of seasonal pulsing hydrology on tropical wetlands is summarized in this paper, where the authors show that tropical wetlands are often tuned to seasonal pulses of water caused by the seasonal movement of the ITCZ and are the most likely to be have higher fire frequency and changed methane emissions and carbon oxidation.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a new model that has overcome these shortcomings by introducing more physical knowledge of the Okavango Delta system into the model, which is a semi-distributed semi-conceptual approach based on large units, and the major improvements of the model are: a better representation of surface water-groundwater interactions and the use of measurement-based rather than model calibrated parameterisation of topographic controls of floodplain water storage.

TL;DR: In this paper, a multi-method attribution analysis for the meteorological drought, defined in terms of a deficit in the 3 years running mean precipitation averaged over the Western Cape area, was conducted.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed a statistical model which makes it possible to predict the extent of wetland loss which will arise from water abstraction in the pristine Okavango Delta wetland of northern Botswana.

TL;DR: In the Okavango Delta in Botswana, dissolved organic matter (DOM) transport is controlled by the slow movement of an annual flood pulse across permanently and seasonally flooded wetlands, known respectively as the Permanent Swamp and Seasonal Swamp as mentioned in this paper.
