Summary: The impact of climate change on hydrology and biomass yield in a tropical river basin was assessed through modeling and analysis, revealing significant increases in precipitation and runoff. Climate change is expected to lead to a loss of crop biomass in the basin and further research on coping strategies is needed.

Summary: This study aims to quantify the impact of climate change on different regulation and provisioning ecosystem services, and proposes a modelling framework to simulate this impact. The SWAT model is used to simulate the considered ecosystem services for different time periods and quantify their impact. The findings indicate that climate change does not have a significant effect on ecosystem services when using an ensemble of five climate models.

Summary: Assessing the impacts of climate change on hydrologic systems is crucial for water resources management and ecological protection. This study develops a workflow that integrates different calculation methods and models to evaluate the uncertainties in future runoff projections. The results show potential increases in monthly and annual runoff, with evapotranspiration calculation methods and climate models being the main sources of uncertainty.

Summary: The future projection of tropical cyclone frequency is highly uncertain. Recent studies suggest that the spread of seed patterns is correlated with the spread of cyclone patterns. The relationship between seed frequency and climate perturbations can be explained using a downscaling theory.

Summary: This study analyzed recent research published between 2009 and 2022 to understand the application of the SWAT model in arid and semi-arid regions, the criteria used, and alternative approaches to overcome data limitations. A systematic search of scientific articles identified 234 articles where the SWAT model was used in drylands. The largest applications were in Asia, while the smallest were in Oceania, covering areas such as agriculture, water governance, environmental conservation, hydrological processes, and extreme events. The analysis showed that the lack of observational data in drylands remains a major challenge, but researchers have used strategies such as field measurements, remote sensing, and incorporating other models into the SWAT to improve hydrological responses.

Summary: Human-induced climate change has caused significant shifts in climate zones in Kenya, resulting in changes to agricultural land use and ecosystems. Temperature has increased by approximately 1 degree Celsius, with large areas shifting to hotter and drier zones. These changes have negative impacts on ecosystem and climatic diversity, as well as global drylands.

Summary: Robust projections of the Indian summer monsoon rainfall (ISMR) are critical as it provides 80% of the annual precipitation to more than 1 billion people who are very vulnerable to climate change. However, even over the historical period, state-of-the-art climate models have difficulties in reproducing the observed ISMR trends and are affected by a large intermodel spread, which questions the reliability of ISMR projections. Such uncertainty could come from internal variability or model biases.

Summary: This study assessed the impact of climate change on water availability in the Altinapa Reservoir Watershed in Turkey. It found that air temperatures are expected to increase and precipitation and streamflow may decrease, leading to decreased reservoir storage and water availability in the future. Flexible water management and reduction in water consumption and losses are necessary to adapt to these changes.

Summary: Lakes in arid and semi-arid regions are experiencing dramatic variations in water level and volume, leading to severe ecological and social issues. The study on Hulun Lake in northern China revealed that the lake's hydrological processes over the past century were influenced by various factors, with the PDO phases and multidecadal trends playing a significant role in the lake's hydrological cycle.

Summary: Determining the emergence time of anthropogenic climate change signals is crucial for early climate warning and adaptation planning. However, there is considerable uncertainty in estimating these times of emergence in climate models. This study investigates the role of internal variability in the uncertainty of emergence times of tropical Pacific climate change signals and finds that internal variability is a major source of uncertainty for ENSO-related signals but contributes less to the uncertainty of annual-mean signals.

Summary: Solar radiation simulations are crucial for hydrological, climatological, and agricultural studies. This study compares the performance of various machine learning models for solar radiation simulation in Illinois, USA. The LSTM model outperforms other models, and the SCN_4 dataset, which includes variables such as solar radiation, maximum and minimum air temperature, and Day of Year, performs the best. Overall, machine learning-based models show acceptable performance for estimating solar radiation, with the LSTM model being the most recommended.
