Dust Loading Increases During Topsoil Flash Droughts Under Rapid Surface Drying and Vegetation Stress

Abstract Using satellite‐derived dust optical depth (DOD), reanalysis meteorology, and a global topsoil flash drought (TSFD) inventory for 2003–2022, we find that TSFD events are associated with increased dust loading at the global scale. During TSFD events, 44.7% of land pixels...

Response of yield, water and fertilizer use efficiency of sweet potato to different drip fertigation regimes under mulching conditions in a humid region of East China

Developing precise irrigation and fertilization regimes is essential for sustaining sweet potato productivity, particularly in humid regions where rainfall variability complicates soil nutrient and water resource management. A two-year field experiment was conducted to investigat...
