Flow regime, temperature, and biotic interactions drive differential declines of trout species under climate change [includes Supporting Information]

TL;DR: This paper used downscaled outputs from general circulation models coupled with a hydrologic model to forecast the effects of altered flows and increased temperatures on four interacting species of trout across the interior western United States (1.01 million km2), based on empirical statistical models built from fish surveys at 9,890 sites.

Spatio-temporal variations in stable isotopes in peri-urban catchments: A preliminary assessment of potential and challenges in assessing streamflow sources

TL;DR: In this article, a spatio-temporal sampling of isotopes, combined with water quality measurements, was carried out to assess seasonal changes in water sources during two exceptionally warm and dry years (2018 and 2019).

Response of water fluxes and biomass production to climate change in permanent grassland soil ecosystems

TL;DR: In this paper, two contrasting experimental approaches, using high-precision weighable monolithic lysimeters, over a period of 4 years to identify and compare the responses of water fluxes and aboveground biomass to climate change in permanent grassland.

Study and Interpretation of the Chemical Characteristics of Natural Water

TL;DR: The chemical composition of natural water is derived from many different sources of solutes, including gases and aerosols from the atmosphere, weathering and erosion of rocks and soil, solution or precipitation reactions occurring below the land surface, and cultural effects resulting from human activities.

Investigating soil moisture-climate interactions in a changing climate: A review

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide a synthesis of past research on the role of soil moisture for the climate system, based both on modelling and observational studies, focusing on soil moisture-temperature and soil moistureprecipitation feedbacks, and their possible modifications with climate change.

On underestimation of global vulnerability to tree mortality and forest die‐off from hotter drought in the Anthropocene

TL;DR: In this article, the authors identify ten contrasting perspectives that shape the vulnerability debate but have not been discussed collectively and present a set of global vulnerability drivers that are known with high confidence: (1) droughts eventually occur everywhere; (2) warming produces hotter Droughts; (3) atmospheric moisture demand increases nonlinearly with temperature during drought; (4) mortality can occur faster in hotter Drought, consistent with fundamental physiology; (5) shorter Drought can become lethal under warming, increasing the frequency of lethal Drought; and (6) mortality happens rapidly
