Resumen
La evapotranspiración global de la tierra aumentó de 1982 a 1997, luego se estancó hasta 2008. Este cambio fue impulsado por la disminución de la humedad del suelo, particularmente en el hemisferio sur, lo que afectó al ciclo global del agua.

- Ciencias del clima Ciencias del clima Ciencias del clima Ciencias del clima
- Hidrología Hidrología Hidrología.
Sus antecedentes:
- La evapotranspiración (ET) es un componente crítico del ciclo global del agua, que influye en el clima y los servicios ecosistémicos.
- Se prevé que el cambio climático intensifique el ciclo hidrológico, alterando los patrones de ET a nivel mundial.
- Los datos de observación global directa sobre los cambios de ET han sido limitados, lo que dificulta las evaluaciones precisas del cambio climático.

01:00The Water Cycle
The Earth’s hydrosphere includes all of the areas where the storage and movement of water occurs. Since water is the basis of all living processes, the cycling of water is extremely important to ecosystem dynamics.
01:16What is Climate?
Climate refers to the prevailing weather conditions in a specific area over an extended period. As the saying goes, “Climate is what you expect. Weather is what you get.” Climate is influenced by geographic factors, such as latitude, terrain, and proximity to bodies of water.
01:50Global Climate Change
Throughout its ~4.5 billion year history, the Earth has experienced periods of warming and cooling. However, the current drastic increase in global temperatures is well outside of the Earth’s cyclic norms, and evidence for human-caused global climate change is compelling. Paleoclimatology, the study of ancient climate conditions, provides ample evidence for human-caused global climate change by comparing recent conditions with those in the past.
01:50Threats to Biodiversity
There have been five major extinction events throughout geological history, resulting in the elimination of biodiversity, followed by a rebound of species that adapted to the new conditions. In the current geological epoch, the Holocene, there is a sixth extinction event in progress. This mass extinction has been attributed to human activities and is thus provisionally called the Anthropocene. In 2019 the human population reached 7.7 billion people and is projected to comprise 10 billion by...
01:57Adaptations that Reduce Water Loss
Though evaporation from plant leaves drives transpiration, it also results in loss of water. Because water is critical for photosynthetic reactions and other cellular processes, evolutionary pressures on plants in different environments have driven the acquisition of adaptations that reduce water loss.
02:41Responses to Drought and Flooding
Water plays a significant role in the life cycle of plants. However, insufficient or excess of water can be detrimental and pose a serious threat to plants.
