Temporal variations of drought for the five main drought-prone regions indicate that the Huang-Huai-Hai Plain region has been mainly dominated by spring and winter droughts, which exert a significant impact on regional agriculture.
We took advantage from this feature to investigate the regulation of the enzymes involved in two main drought-related pathways leading to the accumulation of ABA and proline.
Based on the monitoring of precipitation, soil moisture, and vegetation conditions, EPMC extracted four main agricultural drought evolution phases termed: (i) latency, (ii) onset, (iii) development, and (iv) recovery.
The main physiological drought stress responses include stomatal closure, repression of cell growth and photosynthesis, and activation of respiration.
Application of a multi-threshold run methodology can effectively solve the main problems of drought identification.
The aggressive usage of natural resources and increase in the global climate temperatures are two main factors causing drought.
The main impacts of drought on livelihoods of the communities were food shortage, famine, sales of livestock to buy grains, and forced migration of young people.
El Nińo-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) episodes are reported to be the main cause of drought in Ethiopia because of its effect on the rain producing weather systems over Ethiopia (Country report 2010).
