Title: Dryland climate change: Recent progress and challenges: Dryland Climate Change

Abstract

Drylands are home to more than 38% of the world's population and are one of the most sensitive areas to climate change and human activities. This review describes recent progress in dryland climate change research. Recent findings indicate that the long-term trend of the aridity index (AI) is mainly attributable to increased greenhouse gas emissions, while anthropogenic aerosols exert small effects but alter its attributions. Atmosphere-land interactions determine the intensity of regional response. The largest warming during the last 100 years was observed over drylands and accounted for more than half of the continental warming. The global pattern and interdecadal variability of aridity changes are modulated by oceanic oscillations. The different phases of those oceanic oscillations induce significant changes in land-sea and north-south thermal contrasts, which affect the intensity of the westerlies and planetary waves and the blocking frequency, thereby altering global changes in temperature and precipitation. During 1948–2008, the drylands in the Americas became wetter due to enhanced westerlies, whereas the drylands in the Eastern Hemisphere became drier because of the weakened East Asian summer monsoon. Drylands as defined by the AI have expanded over the last 60 years and are projected to expand in the 21st century. Themore »« less

Drylands as defined by the AI have expanded over the last 60 years and are projected to expand in the 21st century. The largest expansion of drylands has occurred in semiarid regions since the early 1960s. Dryland expansion will lead to reduced carbon sequestration and enhanced regional warming. The increasing aridity, enhanced warming, and rapidly growing population will exacerbate the risk of land degradation and desertification in the near future in developing countries.},

Accelerated dryland expansion regulates future variability in dryland gross primary production

Journal Article Yao, Jingyu ; Liu, Heping ; Huang, Jianping ; ... - Nature Communications

Drylands cover 41% of the Earth’s land surface and are the largest source of interannual variability in the global carbon sink. While drylands are projected to experience an accelerated expansion over the next century, the implications of this expansion and degradation for variability in their gross primary production (GPP) remain elusive. Here we show that total dryland GPP by 2100 will increase by 12 ± 3% relative to the 2010–2014 baseline. Because drylands will largely expand into formerly more productive ecosystems, this increase in dryland GPP may not increase total global GPP. Further, GPP per unit dryland area will decreasemore »« less

Albedo feedbacks to future climate via climate change impacts on dryland biocrusts

Journal Article Rutherford, William A. ; Painter, Thomas H. ; Ferrenberg, Scott ; ... - Scientific Reports

Drylands represent the planet’s largest terrestrial biome and evidence suggests these landscapes have large potential for creating feedbacks to future climate. Recent studies also indicate that dryland ecosystems are responding markedly to climate change. Biological soil crusts (biocrusts) - soil surface communities of lichens, mosses, and/or cyanobacteria - comprise up to 70% of dryland cover and help govern fundamental ecosystem functions, including soil stabilization and carbon uptake. Drylands are expected to experience significant changes in temperature and precipitation regimes, and such alterations may impact biocrust communities by promoting rapid mortality of foundational species. In turn, biocrust community shifts affect landmore »« less

Recent Winter Precipitation Changes over Eastern China in Different Warming Periods and the Associated East Asian Jets and Oceanic Conditions

Journal Article Huang, Danqing ; Dai, Aiguo ; Zhu, Jian ; ... - Journal of Climate

Global-mean surface temperature has experienced fast warming during 1985–98 but stabilized during 1999–2013, especially in boreal winter. Climate changes over East Asia between the two warming periods and the associated mechanisms have not been fully understood. Analyses of observation and reanalysis data show that winter precipitation has decreased (increased) over southern (northeastern) China from 1985–98 to 1999–2013. Winds at 300 hPa over East Asia strengthened during 1999–2013 around 30°–47.5°N but weakened to the north and south of it. This change pattern caused the East Asian polar front jet (EAPJ) and the East Asian subtropical jet (EASJ) to shift, respectively, equatorwardmore »« less

Dryland feedbacks to future climate change: how species mortality and replacement will affect coupled biogeochemical cycles and energy balance (Final Technical Report)

Technical Report Reed, Sasha

The overall goal of the dryland climate manipulation experiment is to improve our understanding and ability to forecast dryland responses to increasing temperatures and altered precipitation regimes. Drylands cover over 40% of Earth’s terrestrial surface and are predicted to increase in size 11-23% by 2100. Yet our understanding of this vast biome, which exchanges enormous amounts of CO₂ and energy with the atmosphere, is exceedingly poor. This project aims to transform and improve that understanding in order to reduce uncertainty and increase the confidence with which we can make global predictions of future climate. We focus on both above- andmore »« less

Changes in global vegetation activity and its driving factors during 1982–2013

Journal Article Zhao, Lin ; Dai, Aiguo ; Dong, Bo - Agricultural and Forest Meteorology

Vegetation activity plays a crucial role in the global carbon cycle and climate. Many studies have examined recent changes in vegetation growth and the associated local climatic drivers. They revealed a global greening trend during the recent decades. However, few studies have analyzed how remote oceanic conditions affect land vegetation growth through atmospheric teleconnection, and the causes of the recent greening needs further investigation. Here in this study, we investigate the spatio-temporal variations (including trends) of vegetation activity using satellite data of growing-season normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI_gs), and examine their relationship to local and remote climate oscillations and externalmore »« less
