Short summary
Plants trade water for carbon, but whether drought makes this trade more or less efficient has been disputed. Using global satellite and model data, we show that over half of vegetated land responds in two stages. Efficiency first rises as drought sets in, because water loss falls faster than carbon gain, then reverses once drought grows extreme. A rising efficiency is therefore temporary coping, not lasting resilience, and marks how close ecosystems are to losing carbon uptake.

To understand how ecohydrological variables evolve jointly and why, this study develops a framework using correlation and causality to construct complex relationships between variables at the system level. Causality provides more detailed information that the compound causes of evolutions regarding any variable can be traced. Joint evolution is controlled by the combination of external drivers and direct causality. Overall, the study facilitates the comprehension of ecohydrological processes.

Our research explores how increased CO2 levels affect water use efficiency in the Yellow River basin. Using updated climate models, we found that future climate change significantly impacts water use efficiency, leading to improved plant resilience against moderate droughts. These findings help predict how ecosystems might adapt to environmental changes, providing essential insights into ways of managing water resources under varying climate conditions.

Applying optimal water allocation models to simultaneously enable economic benefits, water preferences, and environmental demands at different decision levels, timescales, and regions is a challenge. In this study, a process-based three-layer synergistic optimal-allocation model (PTSOA) is established to achieve these goals. Reused, reclaimed water is also coupled to capture environmentally friendly solutions. Network analysis was introduced to reduce competition among different stakeholders.

Monitoring extreme flood events has long been a hot topic for hydrologists and decision makers around the world. In this study, we propose a new index incorporating satellite observations combined with meteorological data to monitor extreme flood events at sub-monthly timescales for the Yangtze River basin (YRB), China. The conclusions drawn from this study provide important implications for flood hazard prevention and water resource management over this region.

We developed an AI-based management methodology to assess forecast quality and forecast-informed reservoir operation performance together due to uncertain inflow forecasts. Results showed that higher forecast performance could lead to improved reservoir operation, while uncertain forecasts were more valuable than deterministic forecasts. Moreover, the relationship between the forecast horizon and reservoir operation was complex and depended on operating configurations and performance measures.

Short summary
This study introduces a new method to simplify complex vine copula structures by reducing dimensionality while retaining essential data. Applied to Shifeng Creek, the vine copula built with this method captured critical spatial–temporal relationships, indicating high synchronization probabilities and flood risks. Notably, it was found that increasing structure complexity does not always improve accuracy. This method offers an efficient tool for analyzing and simulating multi-site flows.
