The Colorado River is witnessing a climate-induced reckoning. The seven US states that rely on the river for water must find a method to reduce their consumption by around 25% next year. That is a massive undertaking. The 1,450-mile-long river serves over 40 million people and over five million acresContinue Reading
Vegetation drought is a condition of ecosystem which is affected by climate change and low soil moisture. Vegetation distribution and growth are significantly affected by changing climate conditions. Understanding the response of vegetation to hydroclimatic disturbances such as droughts is crucial in context of climate change. The sensitivity of terrestrialContinue Reading
Tomato, a vegetable crop grown worldwide, is facing significant losses in productivity due to environmental factors like drought, floods, salinity and heat. This has pushed scientists to better understand the mechanisms of drought tolerance in tomato so that they can develop sturdier tomato plants which can tolerate adverse climate conditions.Continue Reading
