“…Climate plays an important role in determining the biological characteristics, properties, and species distribution patterns of plants and animals [48]. Climate is a global phenomenon involving multi-year changes in environmental parameters such as temperature, precipitation, and humidity [1,49]. Temperature is generally considered one of the most critical environmental elements affecting the distribution patterns of many organisms due to the physiological tolerance limits of species [1,2].…”

Dragonflies are sensitive to climate change due to their special habitat in aquatic and terrestrial environments, especially Pantala flavescens, which have extraordinary migratory abilities in response to climate change on spatio-temporal scales. At present, there are major gaps in the documentation of insects and the effects of climatic changes on the habitat and species it supports. In this study, we model the global distribution of a wandering glider dragonfly, P. flavescens, and detected the important environmental factors shaping its range, as well as habitat shifts under historical and future warming scenarios. The results showed a global map of species ranges of P. flavescens currently, including southern North America, most of South America, south-central Africa, most of Europe, South, East and Southeast Asia, and northern Oceania, in total, ca. 6581.667 × 104 km2. BIO5 (the max temperature of warmest month) and BIO13 (the precipitation of wettest month) greatly explained its species ranges. The historic refugia were identified around the Great Lakes in the north-central United States. Future warming will increase the total area of suitable habitat and shift the type of suitable habitat compared to the current distribution. The habitat suitability of P. flavescens decreased with elevation, global warming forced it to expand to higher elevations, and the habitat suitability of P. flavescens around the equator increased with global warming. Overall, our study provides a global dynamic pattern of suitable habitats for P. flavescens from the perspective of climate change, and provides a useful reference for biodiversity research and biological conservation.

“…Because of climate change, complemented by agricultural activity and the growth of the population in the cities, they have caused water to be extracted from wells at greater depths each year, which has implied an increase in the cost of electricity, and in most cases, poor quality water extraction [47,48]. In the literature, several articles can be found that recommend changing surface irrigation systems for more modern irrigation systems to increase the WUE [49].…”

Climate change has brought increased temperatures and decreased rainfall on a global scale; however, population growth requires greater volumes of water and food each year that must be supplied in one way or another. In Mexico, application efficiencies in gravity irrigation are below 50%. Although in recent years the decision has been made to change to pressurized irrigation systems to increase the efficiency of water use, border or furrow irrigation is still the most widely used in agriculture. In this work, we show that with a methodology developed and applied in these systems, application efficiencies greater than 90% were obtained, while the Water Use Efficiency (WUE) increased by 27, 38 and 47% for the three crops where it was applied: sorghum, barley, and corn, respectively. Irrigation times per hectare and applied irrigation depths decreased by more than 30%, representing increased irrigation efficiencies and WUE. Finally, the water savings obtained can mitigate water scarcity in cities.

“…Notably, climatic factors such as temperature and precipitation are essential drivers of changes in lake and river runoffs [27]. Climate change affects the security of water resources such as groundwater [28], which in turn determines the ecological characteristics of lake basins [24]. Simultaneously, intense and continuous human activities such as agricultural land reclamation and urban expansion have resulted in the deterioration of water quality and ecosystem functions, as well as weakened ecosystem services [29].…”

Lake basins are one of the most significant areas of human–land interaction. It is essential for the region’s ecological protection and high-quality development to assess their ecological vulnerability (EV) and analyze the key driving factors of EV. Considering the characteristics of the lake basin, we chose 17 indicators to evaluate the EV of the Nansi Lake Basin based on the “sensitivity-resilience-pressure” (SRP) model. Then, spatial principal component analysis (SPCA) and a transfer matrix were used to analyze the spatial-temporal variation characteristics of the EV. Moreover, the optimal parameters-based geographical detector (OPGD) was applied to investigate the factors influencing the spatial heterogeneity of the EV. The results indicated that the EV of the Nansi Lake Basin was characterized by a circling spatial structure, with low values distributed in the Nansi Lake and its surrounding areas, as well as high values concentrated in the northwest. The EV of the Nansi Lake Basin decreased from 2010 to 2020, indicating that the overall ecological pressure in the Nansi Lake Basin decreased. Climatic factors, land use type, and habitat quality were the primary factors that influenced the spatial heterogeneity of the EV in the basin. Our findings can serve as policy guidelines for ecological management and the sustainable development of the Nansi Lake Basin and also contribute to the EV assessment of lake basins.
