In retrospect I can see, of course, that in the hyper-arid, drought-prone climate of a place like Cyprus, widespread use of lawns would have seemed an absurdly extravagant use of scarce resources.
Previous comparison studied by Li et al. [13] concluded that variations in NPP in woodland locations of drought-prone climate zones, such as the central California Tonzi Ranch tower site, cannot be matched closely by CASA unless soil water availability was modified in the model structure.
In our study, considering the significant interaction effect between tree-ring width and aspect on wood density, thinning might represent a potential adaptation measure to a warmer climate by making the water conducting system more robust against hydraulic failure especially of the trees growing under more drought-prone climate.
Discrete evidence indicates that poverty is highly connected to poor-quality soils, drought-prone climates, high-altitude residence, and lack of access to markets, urban areas, and ports or coastal areas.
The long term changes in precipitation are measured by the standard deviation of precipitation; and the exposure to weather related disasters due to climate variability are measured by the percentage of flood prone and drought prone districts in each ecological zone.
In this severe drought prone area, the variations of production of Aus, Aman and Boro rice have been found due to climate change.
"Many areas of this region are drought prone.
It is a drought prone block.
The promise of biostimulants to increase drought tolerance and WUE holds great potential for drought prone regions where horticultural crops and fruit trees are agronomically important but water availability is becoming less reliable due to urbanization and climate change.
Drought is the most severe abiotic stress reducing rice yield in rainfed drought prone ecosystems.
Some 68% of India, according to the Indian Space Research Organisation, is prone to droughts in varying degrees - a third of this area is actually "chronically drought prone".
