Sentences with phrase «in evapotranspiration rates»

Not exact matches

Combined with fuel loads, higher evapotranspiration rates and resulting shifts in water balance may be the best predictor of increased fire risk and fire severity in the future under a changing climate (Littell and Gwozdz 2011; Abatzoglou and Kolden 2013).

«Even if an area remains wet doesn't mean that it will be protected from the other aspects of climate change: rising and far more erratic air temperatures, higher rates of evaporation (evapotranspiration), and the rising concentration of CO2,» he said in an e-mail message.

Early evidence suggests that globally, the rate of water loss from soil and plants (called «evapotranspiration») has declined, a finding reinforced by a global slowdown in plant growth.

I know that actual evapotranspiration, potential evaporation, and potential evapotranspiration are often distinguised in the literature, so I also wanted to confirm what the potential evaporation rate in this dataset represents.

This is because carbon is sequestered at a faster rate, and other biogeophysical processes (e.g. increased transfer of moisture from the surface to the atmosphere, known as evapotranspiration) enhance the cooling, in the tropics.

changes in soil moisture due to shifting precipitation regimes and evapotranspiration rates, which changes infiltration and runoff ratios;

«In large part, the answer is that the basin has become hotter, which modifies several facets of the hydrologic cycle that lie between precipitation and runoff, including evapotranspiration and sublimation rates, the timing of snowmelt and soil moisture characteristics,» according to the paper.

An important contribution to present day sea level rise could result from changes in the amount of water stored in the ground, on the surface in lakes and reservoirs, and by modifications to surface characteristics affecting runoff or evapotranspiration rates.

The lower relative humidity and increased temperatures that would result from potential reductions in fog and low cloud cover could increase plant evapotranspiration rates, raise soil water deficits, and accelerate risks of forest fire.

The situation is different in the tropics where higher temperatures result in higher rates of evapotranspiration, the process by which forests release water into the atmosphere.
