TL;DR: The authors assessed the projected impacts of climate change on the yield of eight major crops in Africa and South Asia using a systematic review and meta-analysis of data in 52 original publications from an initial screen of 1144 studies.

TL;DR: The results suggest that small erosion events should be controlled to prevent P contamination of surface waters and that the most effective means of doing this are by the introduction of minimal tillage techniques and across-slope cultivations.

TL;DR: The authors reviewed the impact of anthropogenic climate change on water in the UK and looked at projections of future change, concluding that future changes in rainfall and evapotranspiration could lead to changed flow regimes and impacts on water quality, aquatic ecosystems and water availability.

TL;DR: The role and goal of LCA and ISO-compatible water footprinting are explained and there is potential to use synergies in research for the two approaches and the need for proper declaration of the methods applied is highlighted.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed a conceptual model, which describes the presence of deep larger diameter roots in shrub areas form large open channels at deeper soil depths, facilitating deep-water percolation, while presence of thin shallow roots in grass areas form small open channel at shallow depths, causing water to remain within shallow depths.
