A mathematical formulation to estimate return periods and risks of failure of complex hydrologic events such as those arising from dependent floods and droughts have been examined in the first part of this paper. Specifically, ...

This article evaluates drought scenarios of the Upper Colorado River basin (UCRB) considering multiple drought variables for the past 500 years and positions the current drought in terms of the magnitude and frequency. ...

Climate change threatens the hydrological equilibrium with severe consequences for living beings. In that respect, considerable differences in drought features are expected, especially for mountain-Andean regions, which ...

Several studies have assessed droughts and vegetation considering climatic factors, particularly El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) at different latitudes. However, there are knowledge gaps in the tropical Andes, a region ...

Rangeland productivity is strongly conditioned by the amount and temporal distribution of precipitation. Thus, the worsening of droughts with climate change could be a serious threat to their existence. This paper presents ...

Grasslands worldwide are expected to experience an increase in extreme events such asdrought, along with simultaneous increases in mineral nutrient inputs as a result of human industrialactivities. These changes are likely ...
