Journal ArticleDOI

Global desertification: Drivers and feedbacks

TL;DR: In this article, a review of recent research on the drivers, feedbacks, and impacts of global desertification is presented, motivated by the increasing need to improve global food production and to sustainably manage ecosystems in the context of climate change.
Journal ArticleDOI

Global land and water grabbing

TL;DR: It is found that land and water grabbing are occurring at alarming rates in all continents except Antarctica and the per capita volume of grabbed water often exceeds the water requirements for a balanced diet and would be sufficient to improve food security and abate malnourishment in the grabbed countries.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Global Food-Energy-Water Nexus

TL;DR: This review explores multiple components of the food‐energy‐water nexus and highlights possible approaches that could be used to meet food and energy security with the limited renewable water resources of the planet.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ecohydrology of water-controlled ecosystems

TL;DR: In this paper, a probabilistic-mechanistic model of soil water balance was used for the characterization of the seasonal regimes of soil moisture with different combinations of climate, soil, and vegetation.
Journal ArticleDOI

On the spatial and temporal links between vegetation, climate, and soil moisture

TL;DR: In this paper, a model for the local competition for soil moisture among neighboring vegetation is presented, where the initial condition for the model is a random field where at each point the soil moisture is the mean water content when there are no spatial interactions between sites.
