Abstract
The land surface scheme (LSS) plays a very important role in the forecast of surface meteorological elements in the Central Asia arid region. Therefore, two LSSs viz. Noah and Noah-MP were evaluated over the Central Asia arid region in January and July 2017 using the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model at a 3-km horizontal grid resolution. The objective was to assess the performance of WRF LSSs by calculated the mean error (ME) and the root mean squared error (RMSE) of simulated hourly meteorological elements, such as 2-m air temperature, 10-m wind speed, soil temperature, soil moisture at 5 and 25 cm thickness, and surface soil heat flux at 5 cm thickness. The results showed that, compared to Noah, Noah-MP modeled less surface sensible heat flux in the northern Xinjiang (15~20 W∙m−2) and surface latent heat flux in most areas of Xinjiang (<10 W∙m−2) in January, and mainly generated less sensible heat flux in most areas of north Xinjiang and the mountainous regions of southern Xinjiang (≤20 W·m−2) which on the contrary, generated more surface latent heat flux in most parts of Xinjiang (15~20 W·m−2) in July. Meanwhile, the surface soil heat flux generated from Noah-MP was closer to the observations at Hongliuhe and Kelameili stations in January, the ME increased by 17.5% and reduced by 80.7%, respectively, the RMSE decreased by 44.4% and 61.7%, respectively, and closer to the observations at Xiaotang station in July, the ME and RMSE reduced by 19.1% and 20.5%, respectively. Compared to Noah, Noah-MP improved the overall simulation of soil temperature and soil moisture over the northern and eastern Xinjiang (at 10 cm thickness), the ME and RMSE of simulated soil temperature reduced by 85.0% and 13.4% in January, decreased by 78.6% and increased by 6.2% in July, respectively, and the ME and RMSE of simulated soil moisture reduced by 67.2% and 14.9% in January, reduced by 33.3% and 2.8% in July, respectively. Compared to Noah, Noah-MP’s results were lowered for the simulated 10-m wind speed and 2-m air temperature, especially the simulated 2-m air temperature over the cold climate regions of northern Xinjiang, was improved significantly, the ME and RMSE of simulated 10-m wind speed reduced by 0.8% and 4.9% in January, decreased by 6.7% and 2.8% in July, respectively, the ME and RMSE of simulated 2-m air temperature reduced by 2.8% and 1.0% in July, respectively. This study demonstrated the advantage of coupled Noah-MP over the Central Asia arid region, providing the basis for WRF/Noah-MP in future operational applications in the Central Asia arid region.

A New Coupled Modeling Approach to Simulate Terrestrial Water Storage in Southern California. WATER 2020. [DOI: 10.3390/w12030808] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
The study introduces a new atmosphere-land-aquifer coupled model and evaluates terrestrial water storage (TWS) simulations for Southern California between 2007 and 2016. It also examines the relationship between precipitation, groundwater, and soil moisture anomalies for the two primary aquifer systems in the study area, namely the Coastal Basin and the Basin and Range aquifers. Two model designs are introduced, a partially-coupled model forced by reanalysis atmospheric data, and a fully-coupled model, in which the atmospheric conditions were simulated. Both models simulate the temporal variability of TWS anomaly in the study area well (R2 ≥ 0.87, P < 0.01). In general, the partially-coupled model outperformed the fully-coupled model as the latter overestimated precipitation, which compromised soil and aquifer recharge and discharge. Simulations also showed that the drought experienced in the area between 2012 and 2016 caused a decline in TWS, evapotranspiration, and runoff of approximately 24%, 65%, and 11%, and 20%, 72% and 8% over the two aquifer systems, respectively. Results indicate that the models first introduced in this study can be a useful tool to further our understanding of terrestrial water storage variability at regional scales.

Abstract
Woody plant encroachment has profound impacts on the sustainable management of water resources in water-limited ecosystems. However, our understanding of the effects of this global phenomenon on groundwater recharge at local and regional scales is limited. Here, we reviewed studies related to (i) recharge estimation methods; (ii) mechanisms by which woody plants impact groundwater recharge; (iii) impacts of woody plant on recharge across different soil and geology; (iv) hydrological repercussions of woody plant removal; and (v) research gaps and needs for groundwater studies. We identified six different methods: water balance, water table, isotopes, chloride mass balance, electrical geophysical imaging, and modeling were used to study the impact of woody encroachment on groundwater. Woody plant encroachment could alter soil infiltration rates, soil water storage, transpiration, interception, and subsurface pathways to affect groundwater recharge. The impact is highly variable, with the extent and the magnitude varying across the soil, substrate, plant cover, and topographic locations. Our review revealed mixed effects of woody plant removal on groundwater recharge. Studies of litter interception, root water uptake, soil moisture dynamics, and deep percolation along with the progression of woody plant encroachment are still limited, warranting further experimental studies focusing on groundwater recharge. Overall, information about woody plant encroachment impacts on groundwater resources across a range of scales is essential for long-range planning of water resources.

Abstract
Source apportionment of fluorine pollution in the regional shallow groundwater at You'xi County, southeast China, has been analyzed by means of monitoring F(-) ion change characteristics in this area. Meanwhile, pollution sources and influencing factors of the shallow groundwater have been uncovered by studying the correlation between F(-) and other related ions such as Na(+), Ca(2+), Cl(-), NO3(-), HCO3(-), as well as (K(+) + Na(+))/Ca(2+) ratio (R) and pH effect. The results show that F(-) ions in shallow groundwater at the study area come mainly from the dissolution of fluorinated minerals in a form of fluorite (CaF2), the so-called water-rock interaction, and there is a higher possibility for the occurrence of fluorine water where the ratio of (K(+) + Na(+))/Ca(2+) exceeds a value of 2.1. Moreover, the release and migration of F(-) ions have been favored by the alkaline environment in this study area.

Abstract
We review the evidence of how organisms and populations are currently responding to climate change through phenotypic plasticity, genotypic evolution, changes in distribution and, in some cases, local extinction. Organisms alter their gene expression and metabolism to increase the concentrations of several antistress compounds and to change their physiology, phenology, growth and reproduction in response to climate change. Rapid adaptation and microevolution occur at the population level. Together with these phenotypic and genotypic adaptations, the movement of organisms and the turnover of populations can lead to migration toward habitats with better conditions unless hindered by barriers. Both migration and local extinction of populations have occurred. However, many unknowns for all these processes remain. The roles of phenotypic plasticity and genotypic evolution and their possible trade-offs and links with population structure warrant further research. The application of omic techniques to ecological studies will greatly favor this research. It remains poorly understood how climate change will result in asymmetrical responses of species and how it will interact with other increasing global impacts, such as N eutrophication, changes in environmental N : P ratios and species invasion, among many others. The biogeochemical and biophysical feedbacks on climate of all these changes in vegetation are also poorly understood. We here review the evidence of responses to climate change and discuss the perspectives for increasing our knowledge of the interactions between climate change and life.

Abstract
Tropospheric ozone is increasing in many agricultural regions resulting in decreased stomatal conductance and overall biomass of sensitive crop species. These physiological effects of ozone forecast changes in evapotranspiration and thus in the terrestrial hydrological cycle, particularly in intercontinental interiors. Soybean plots were fumigated with ozone to achieve concentrations above ambient levels over five growing seasons in open-air field conditions. Mean season increases in ozone concentrations ([O₃]) varied between growing seasons from 22 to 37% above background concentrations. The objective of this experiment was to examine the effects of future [O₃] on crop ecosystem energy fluxes and water use. Elevated [O₃] caused decreases in canopy evapotranspiration resulting in decreased water use by as much as 15% in high ozone years and decreased soil water removal. In addition, ozone treatment resulted in increased sensible heat flux in all years indicative of day-time increase in canopy temperature of up to 0.7 °C.
