Abstract Recent forest fires potentially intensify flood hazards. However, fire amplification of floods is not well understood at a large scale due to the complex compound impacts and climate variability, while available small‐scale cases may represent regional changes. Here, we show that 2019–2020 mega in southeast Australia, with unprecedented burned areas, significantly ( p < 0.05) increased peak discharges during 2 years after fires. Spatially, on these are much stronger regions...

Groundwater resources play a crucial role in vegetation restoration and ecological development the northern part of Loess Plateau. However, it remains unclear how groundwater level has changed with environments last two decades region, where long-term observations are largely not available. This study reconstructed this region from 2001 to 2020 by establishing relationships between monthly surface water fluxes (precipitation, evapotranspiration, runoff) observed change 2018 extrapolating...

Abstract While bushfires are often regarded as a vital trigger that alters the partitioning of hydrological fluxes, their role in water balance changes remains poorly quantified, especially regions where impacts frequent and climate variability overlap. Here, we estimated fire‐induced based on modified paired catchment method considers partial effect annual precipitation differences. In application for eight forested catchments impacted by 2009 Victorian Bushfires with multiple burned areas...

The subtropical forests in China play a pivotal part the global and regional carbon–water cycle regulating climate. Ecosystem water-use efficiency (WUE) is crucial index for understanding trade-off between ecosystem carbon gain water consumption. However, underlying mechanisms of WUE forest ecosystems, especially different forests, have remained unclear. In this paper, we developed simple framework estimating revealing changes via series numerical experiments. Validated by measured WUE,...

Abstract The adverse impacts of Australia’s Millennium Drought on both surface and groundwater hydrological systems are extensively documented. During the Drought, Murray Basin experienced a severe rainfall deficit. Our study revisited table trends in 451 wells within during drought from 1997 to 2009. These varied, 70% showed significant downward shifts, 19% were insignificant, 11% even displayed upward trends. results K -means clustering analysis indicate markedly slow recuperation levels...

The CO2 efflux from forest soil (FCO2) is one of the largest components global carbon cycle. Accurate estimation FCO2 can help us better understand cycle in forested areas and precisely predict future climate change. However, scarcity field-measured data subtropical area greatly limits our understanding dynamics at regional scales. This study used an automatic cavity ring-down spectrophotometer (CRDS) analyzer to measure a typical southern China dry season. We found that measured two...

Sensitivity analysis is crucial for identifying key crop model parameters to enhance the efficiency of parameterization. However, parameter sensitivity can be influenced by climate conditions, potentially leading calibration incorrect sensitive when different conditions are not considered. In this study, we employ extended Fourier amplitude test identify cultivar in Agricultural Production System Simulator (APSIM-Maize) concerning maize yield. Additionally, use regression explore how...

Forest fires are commonly expected to exacerbate local flood hazards. Yet, it's not well-established if such an effect is evident across broader geographic regions concurrently, particularly when considering the compounded influences of forest and climate variability on floods. Here, we show that recent 2019–2020 mega in southeast Australia, characterized by unprecedented burned areas, have significantly increased peak discharges ensuing two years. The impact varied regionally,...
