Sentence examples for changes in moisture availability from inspiring English sources
Here, we explore the relationship between pollen width (equatorial diameter) and climate as a potential indicator of changes in moisture availability in Antarctica, a technique that had not been widely applied previously.
The widths of 458 Antarctic Nothofagidites lachlaniae-complex pollen grains (from Eocene, Oligocene, and Miocene cores) were then measured and compared to other paleoenvironmental proxies to evaluate whether or not a significant trend in size variability can be associated with a change in moisture availability through geological time.
To assess temporal changes in climate moisture availability, we calculated the standardized precipitation evapotranspiration index (SPEI).
There is recent debate about whether land-use change or moisture availability is the primary driver of changes in forest species composition in this region.
Most of these landscape-scale effects of climatic change involved changes in moisture.
However, considerations must be made as hardwoods are very susceptible to changes in moisture level.
The results showed that the spatio-temporal patchiness of soil moisture to which we attribute influential properties, was found to become more heterogenic with the decrease in soil moisture availability (from 8.2 to 0.4 g kg−1) toward the hot, dry seasons, with coefficient of variation (CV) change amounting to 66.9%.
This is a consequence of the projected decrease in summer rainfall levels at this time, antagonised by ever increasing summer temperatures, resulting in decreased moisture availability.
It means rise in temperature reduced moisture availability of soil in post-monsoon season and decrease in water requirement of crop resulted in low vegetation growth.
In addition to increased soil moisture availability in eCO2 plots, the increase in root production should lead to an enhanced capacity for soil nutrient extraction.
The moisture diffusivity varied widely with change in moisture content.
