Summary: Climate change, elevated CO2 concentration, and land use change have significantly altered land evapotranspiration, with climate change being the primary driver of increased evapotranspiration. However, CO2 and land use change also play distinct roles in affecting evapotranspiration in different regions.

Summary: This study assessed the effects of a forestation program and climate change on the water balance of the Bogowonto catchment in Java, Indonesia using the SWAT model. Results showed that forestation had minor impacts compared to climate change on the water balance, with forestation decreasing streamflow and surface runoff during the wet season. It is important to consider both positive and negative effects in future forestation programs.

Summary: This review paper examines the effects of spatiotemporal changes in climate and land use/land cover on river hydro-morphology in tropical regions. Through analyzing 60 case studies, it is found that land use/land cover change has limited impact on hydrological variables, and other factors such as catchment heterogeneity play an important role. Future projections suggest similar trends will continue, though with differences based on land use and climate scenarios. Despite significant changes taking place in tropical regions, there is still limited research on the hydro-morphology responses, highlighting the need for further studies to enhance our understanding.

Summary: Ecological restoration programs have been beneficial to ecosystem services improvement, but challenges remain in planning and management due to climate change, rapid land use change, and insufficient simulation and identification of thresholds. A new framework is proposed to address these challenges, including attribution analysis, assessment of climate-land use change impacts, simulation of restoration program effects, and threshold identification. Recommendations for future research directions are also provided.

Summary: Reducing CO2 emissions is crucial for the UK to achieve its net zero policy objective. By leveraging climate change and land use change, suitable bioenergy crops can be strategically deployed to enhance energy production and carbon sequestration. This study evaluates the potential of bioenergy crops and their response to changing climate in the upper River Taw observatory catchment in southwest England. The results indicate that a warming climate positively impacts the production of all crops considered, with colder areas benefiting more in terms of biomass. Additionally, converting permanent grassland to perennial bioenergy crops can increase production and carbon sequestration potential.

Summary: Urbanization and climate change are major factors contributing to habitat loss and local extinction rates. Effective management of native vegetation in urban settings requires understanding the impacts of these factors and how species and communities may adapt, as well as identifying climate refugia to support management decisions under urban expansion and climate change pressures.

Summary: This study aimed to better understand the interactions between land use changes, climate change, and aquatic ecosystems in a small agricultural catchment. It found that climate change had a larger impact on annual runoff compared to land use changes, with specific methods and the Budyko curve playing a key role in quantifying these impacts. Additionally, understanding the sources of water deficit can lead to improved water resources management in small catchments.

Summary: This study used a coupled SWAT-FEM simulation model to assess the effects of land use land cover and climate change scenarios on water resources in the Chennai river catchments in India. Land use data was obtained from the National Remote Sensing Centre and International Water Management Institute, while climate change simulations were obtained from four global climate models. The study found that climate change will significantly impact water resources, leading to an increase of over 20% in water utilization by 2100.

Summary: This study aimed to establish a comprehensive methodological framework to analyze the individual and combined attribution of landscape pattern and climate changes on streamflow in Beijing. The results showed that future streamflow in the Beijing basin would decrease, with reduced peak flow in most basins in the summer and increased flow in the autumn and winter. The study highlights the importance of considering both landscape pattern and climate changes in managing ecohydrological balance and promoting sustainable development.

Summary: This study investigated changes in monthly streamflow in the Hindukush-Karakoram-Himalaya (HKH) region in Pakistan using the IPTA method. It was found that only glaciated and snow/ice-covered sub-basins experienced increasing trends, while most other sub-basins faced decreasing trends in high flow months and increasing trends in low flow months. Overall, the results provide insights into hydrology of the HKH region and support sustainable water management.

Summary: This study evaluates two image blending methods and nine input data configurations to select the most suitable one. The results show that FSDAF outperforms STARFM in generating synthetic NDVI when using unsupervised and supervised classification images, along with MODIS NDVI 250 m v.005. When generating synthetic NDVI using AVHRR NDVI, both algorithms perform similarly. The selection of image blending algorithm with a single pair base reference image should consider input data configuration and temporal over spatial variance ratio.

Summary: Subjective decisions in hydrologic model calibration can significantly affect the understanding of basin processes and simulated fluxes. A multicase calibration approach was used to determine appropriate hydrological model configuration pillars, including calibration data length, spin-up period, and spatial resolution. Analysis showed that a 10-year calibration data length, 2-year spin-up period, and 4-km model resolution were suitable for reducing computational burden while maintaining decent streamflow simulation performance in the Moselle basin.

Summary: Streamflow simulation in a snow dominated basin is complex. Long short-term memory (LSTM) and artificial neural network (ANN) models were used for rainfall-runoff simulation in the Carson River basin in the US. The LSTM model outperformed the ANN model in representing flow dynamics, while the ANN model showed good performance in rainfall-runoff modeling. The proposed methodology enhances the learning capabilities of machine learning models in rainfall-runoff simulation.

Summary: This study investigates the controls that influence the spatial variability of event runoff coefficients (RCs) based on the comparative hydrology concept. The results indicate that catchment elevation is the most important control on RCs at the country scale, and hydro-climatic attributes such as mean annual precipitation, ratio of actual evaporation to precipitation, and the ratio of potential evaporation to precipitation are other important controls on RCs. Catchment area is a major control on RCs at the regional scale.

Summary: Crop water productivity, measured by the water footprint, is crucial for water and food security. This study focuses on the temporal dynamics of crop water footprints, specifically for global maize production. The results show significant variations in water footprints across different regions, with high-input agriculture regions exhibiting smaller footprints. While the unit water footprint of maize decreased over the past three decades, the total water footprint increased due to the expansion of rainfed and irrigated areas. It is important to address the sustainability and purpose of maize production to ensure ecosystem and human livelihoods.
