Response of vegetation to drought time-scales across global land biomes
Sergio M. Vicente-Serrano,Célia M. Gouveia,Célia M. Gouveia,J. Julio Camarero,Santiago Beguería,Ricardo M. Trigo,Ricardo M. Trigo,Juan I. López-Moreno,Cesar Azorin-Molina,Edmond Pasho,Jorge Lorenzo-Lacruz,Jesús Revuelto,Enrique Morán-Tejeda,Arturo Sanchez-Lorenzo +13 more
TL;DR: It is found that arid biomes respond to drought at short time-scales; that is, there is a rapid vegetation reaction as soon as water deficits below normal conditions occur, and that the response of vegetation to drought depends on characteristic drought time- scales for each biome.

Hydrological drought explained
TL;DR: A review of the current state of scientific knowledge of definitions, processes, and quantification of hydrological drought is given in this paper, where the influence of climate and terrestrial properties (geology, land use) on hydrologic drought characteristics and the role of storage is discussed.

Will drought events become more frequent and severe in Europe
TL;DR: In this paper, a combined indicator based on the predominance of the drought signal over normal/wet conditions has been used to investigate changes in drought occurrence, frequency, and severity in Europe in the next decades.

A Pacific interdecadal climate oscillation with impacts on salmon production
TL;DR: In this article, the authors identify a robust, recurring pattern of ocean-atmosphere climate variability centered over the midlatitude North Pacific basin over the past century, the amplitude of this climate pattern has varied irregularly at interannual-to-interdecadal timescales.

- 01 Jan 1976
TL;DR: The framework of a national land use and land cover classification system is presented for use with remote sensor data and uses the features of existing widely used classification systems that are amenable to data derived from re-mote sensing sources.
