For the transects, increasing precipitation from west to east and increasing temperature from north to south affect both soil mineralogy and geochemistry because of climate effects on soil weathering and leaching, and plant productivity.
Experts say that the principle of cloud seeding is increasing precipitation, not changing the weather by creating more storms.
Climate change could further complicate those operations by periodically increasing precipitation in the region.
But he said that eventually, in the interior of the continent, drought could win out over increasing precipitation if the atmosphere warmed enough.
In addition, soil acidity and organic matter content increase, while readily soluble forms of calcium (important to plant growth and soil aggregation) decrease, with increasing precipitation.
Correspondingly, in those regions I mention (which, by population, represent the most important regions of the global monsoon) much of the increasing precipitation signal is coming from oceanic regions: the eastern Arabian Sea, the Bay of Bengal, the South and East China Seas and Bay of Bengal.
Increasing precipitation intensity leads to flooded roads.
Increasing precipitation generally increased photosynthesis and biomass.
With increasing precipitation, bands widen but become less productive.
Increasing precipitation and N deposition are reported in northern China.
Lake level could rise due to increasing precipitation and runoff in the future.
