Porkka, Miina (author), Virkki, Vili (author), Wang-Erlandsson, Lan (author), Gerten, Dieter (author), Gleeson, Tom (author), Mohan, Chinchu (author), Fetzer, Ingo (author), Jaramillo, Fernando (author), Staal, Arie (author), van der Ent, R.J. (author)Human actions compromise the many life-supporting functions provided by the freshwater cycle. Yet, scientific understanding of anthropogenic freshwater change and its long-term evolution is limited. Here, using a multi-model ensemble of global hydrological models, we estimate how, over a 145-year industrial period (1861–2005), streamflow and...journal article 2024

(author), Portmann, Raphael (author), Schemm, Sebastian (author), Havermann, Felix (author), Guo, Suqi (author)Land cover and land management changes (LCLMCs) play an important role in achieving low-end warming scenarios through land-based mitigation. However, their effects on moisture fluxes and recycling remain uncertain, although they have important implications for the future viability of such strategies. Here, we analyse the impact of idealized...journal article 2024

Lai, En Ning (author), Wang-Erlandsson, Lan (author), Virkki, Vili (author), Porkka, Miina (author), van der Ent, R.J. (author)Root zone soil moisture is a key variable representing water cycle dynamics that strongly interact with ecohydrological, atmospheric, and biogeochemical processes. Recently, it was proposed as the control variable for the green water planetary boundary, suggesting that widespread and considerable deviations from baseline variability now...journal article 2023

(author), Di Carlo, Emanuele (author), Catalano, Franco (author), Boussetta, Souhail (author), Balsamo, Gianpaolo (author), Alessandri, Andrea (author)Vegetation largely controls land surface–atmosphere interactions. Although vegetation is highly dynamic across spatial and temporal scales, most land surface models currently used for reanalyses and near-term climate predictions do not adequately represent these dynamics. This causes deficiencies in the variability of modeled water and energy...journal article 2023

Gründemann, Gaby J. (author), Zorzetto, E. (author), van de Giesen, N.C. (author), van der Ent, R.J. (author)Global warming impacts the hydrological cycle, affecting the seasonality and timing of extreme precipitation. Understanding historical changes in extreme precipitation occurrence is crucial for assessing their impacts. This study uses relative entropy to analyze historical changes in seasonality and timing of extreme daily precipitation...journal article 2023

(author)Quantifying the magnitude and frequency of extreme precipitation events is key in translating climate observations to planning and engineering design. Past efforts have mostly focused on the estimation of daily extremes using gauge observations. Recent development of high-resolution global precipitation products, now allow estimation of...journal article 2023

Gründemann, Gaby J. (author), van de Giesen, N.C. (author), Brunner, Lukas (author), van der Ent, R.J. (author)Future rainfall extremes are projected to increase with global warming according to theory and climate models, but common (annual) and rare (decennial or centennial) extremes could be affected differently. Here, using 25 models from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 driven by a range of plausible scenarios of future greenhouse...journal article 2022

Singh, Chandrakant (author), van der Ent, R.J. (author), Wang-Erlandsson, Lan (author), Fetzer, Ingo (author)Forest and savanna ecosystems naturally exist as alternative stable states. The maximum capacity of these ecosystems to absorb perturbations without transitioning to the other alternative stable state is referred to as ‘resilience’. Previous studies have determined the resilience of terrestrial ecosystems to hydroclimatic changes...journal article 2022

(author), La Mere, Kelsey (author), van der Ent, R.J. (author)Several safe boundaries of critical Earth system processes have already been crossed due to human perturbations; not accounting for their interactions may further narrow the safe operating space for humanity. Using expert knowledge elicitation, we explored interactions among seven variables representing Earth system processes relevant to food...journal article 2022

(author)Achievement of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is contingent on understanding the potential interactions among human and natural systems. In Kenya, the goal of conserving and expanding forest cover to achieve SDG 15 “Life on Land” may be related to other SDGs because it plays a role in regulating some aspects of Kenyan...journal article 2022

(author)Deforestation can considerably affect transpiration dynamics and magnitudes at the catchment scale and thereby alter the partitioning between drainage and evaporative water fluxes released from terrestrial hydrological systems.

Al Hasan, F. (author), Link, Andreas (author), van der Ent, R.J. (author)The 2018 summer drought in Europe was particularly extreme in terms of intensity and impact due to the combination of low rainfall and high temperatures. However, it remains unclear how this drought developed in time and space in such an extreme way. In this study we aimed to get a better understanding of the role of land–atmosphere interactions...journal article 2021

van Oorschot, F. (author), van der Ent, R.J. (author), Hrachowitz, M. (author), Alessandri, Andrea (author)The root zone storage capacity (Sr) is the maximum volume of water in the subsurface that can potentially be accessed by vegetation for transpiration. It influences the seasonality of transpiration as well as fast and slow runoff processes. Many studies have shown that Sr is heterogeneous as controlled by local climate conditions, which...journal article 2021

Link, Andreas (author), Berger, Markus (author), van der Ent, R.J. (author), Eisner, Stephanie (author), Finkbeiner, Matthias (author)Water consumption along value chains of goods and services has increased globally and led to increased attention on water footprinting. Most global water consumption is accounted for by evaporation (E), which is connected via bridges of atmospheric moisture transport to other regions on Earth. However, the resultant source-receptor...journal article 2021

Singh, C. (author), Wang-Erlandsson, Lan (author), Fetzer, Ingo (author), Rockström, Johan (author), van der Ent, R.J. (author)Climate change and deforestation have increased the risk of drought-induced forest-to-savanna transitions across the tropics and subtropics. However, the present understanding of forest-savanna transitions is generally focused on the influence of rainfall and fire regime changes, but does not take into account the adaptability of vegetation...journal article 2020
