text: Increasing urban green spaces and canopy cover requires careful planning of
irrigation strategies, especially in arid and semiarid areas. This study investigates
how vegetation cover and irrigation affect the water balance and vegetation productivity
of a small urban reserve in the Melbourne metropolitan area, Australia. Using
a mechanistic ecohydrological model, a series of numerical experiments were carried
out for the period 1999–2018, which included a prolonged drought. Results indicated
that irrigation played an essential role in helping both trees and grass productivity
by increasing soil moisture and vegetation water access during the drought. With
10% tree cover, grass benefitted more than trees by increasing irrigation, and
trees coped well with drought even without additional water. However, trees strongly
relied on irrigation to maintain productivity when tree cover increased, highlighting
the need for a sustainable balance between increasing urban greening and water
conservation. Differences in soil properties and rooting strategies were also
found to strongly modify the need for irrigation and the competition for water.
These results provide quantitative insights on how increasing tree cover and vegetation
diversity may impact irrigation requirements, highlighting the key role of mechanistic
numerical models to support urban planners in the evaluation and design of urban
green spaces.

text: 'We present a faster symbolic algorithm for the following central problem
in probabilistic verification: Compute the maximal end-component (MEC) decomposition
of Markov decision processes (MDPs). This problem generalizes the SCC decomposition
problem of graphs and closed recurrent sets of Markov chains. The model of symbolic
algorithms is widely used in formal verification and model-checking, where access
to the input model is restricted to only symbolic operations (e.g., basic set
operations and computation of one-step neighborhood). For an input MDP with n vertices
and m edges, the classical symbolic algorithm from the 1990s for the MEC decomposition
requires O(n2) symbolic operations and O(1) symbolic space. The only other
symbolic algorithm for the MEC decomposition requires O(nm−−√) symbolic operations
and O(m−−√) symbolic space. A main open question is whether the worst-case O(n2) bound
for symbolic operations can be beaten. We present a symbolic algorithm that requires O˜(n1.5) symbolic
operations and O˜(n−−√) symbolic space. Moreover, the parametrization of our
algorithm provides a trade-off between symbolic operations and symbolic space:
for all 0<ϵ≤1/2 the symbolic algorithm requires O˜(n2−ϵ) symbolic operations
and O˜(nϵ) symbolic space ( O˜ hides poly-logarithmic factors). Using our techniques
we present faster algorithms for computing the almost-sure winning regions of ω
-regular objectives for MDPs. We consider the canonical parity objectives for ω
-regular objectives, and for parity objectives with d -priorities we present
an algorithm that computes the almost-sure winning region with O˜(n2−ϵ) symbolic
operations and O˜(nϵ) symbolic space, for all 0<ϵ≤1/2 .'

text: Elastic bending of initially flat slender elements allows the realization
and economic fabrication of intriguing curved shapes. In this work, we derive
an intuitive but rigorous geometric characterization of the design space of plane
elastic rods with variable stiffness. It enables designers to determine which
shapes are physically viable with active bending by visual inspection alone. Building
on these insights, we propose a method for efficiently designing the geometry
of a flat elastic rod that realizes a target equilibrium curve, which only requires
solving a linear program. We implement this method in an interactive computational
design tool that gives feedback about the feasibility of a design, and computes
the geometry of the structural elements necessary to realize it within an instant.
The tool also offers an iterative optimization routine that improves the fabricability
of a model while modifying it as little as possible. In addition, we use our geometric
characterization to derive an algorithm for analyzing and recovering the stability
of elastic curves that would otherwise snap out of their unstable equilibrium
shapes by buckling. We show the efficacy of our approach by designing and manufacturing
several physical models that are assembled from flat elements.

text: "With the lithium-ion technology approaching its intrinsic limit with graphite-based
anodes, lithium metal is recently receiving renewed interest from the battery
community as potential high capacity anode for next-generation rechargeable batteries.
In this focus paper, we review the main advances in this field since the first
attempts in the\r\nmid-1970s. Strategies for enabling reversible cycling and avoiding
dendrite growth are thoroughly discussed, including specific applications in all-solid-state
(polymeric and inorganic), Lithium-sulphur and Li-O2 (air) batteries. A particular
attention is paid to review recent developments in regard of prototype manufacturing
and current state-ofthe-art of these battery technologies with respect to the
2030 targets of the EU Integrated Strategic Energy Technology Plan (SET-Plan)
Action 7."

text: "Fabrication of curved shells plays an important role in modern design, industry,
and science. Among their remarkable properties are, for example, aesthetics of
organic shapes, ability to evenly distribute loads, or efficient flow separation.
They find applications across vast length scales ranging from sky-scraper architecture
to microscopic devices. But, at\r\nthe same time, the design of curved shells
and their manufacturing process pose a variety of challenges. In this thesis,
they are addressed from several perspectives. In particular, this thesis presents
approaches based on the transformation of initially flat sheets into the target
curved surfaces. This involves problems of interactive design of shells with nontrivial
mechanical constraints, inverse design of complex structural materials, and data-driven
modeling of delicate and time-dependent physical properties. At the same time,
two newly-developed self-morphing mechanisms targeting flat-to-curved transformation
are presented.\r\nIn architecture, doubly curved surfaces can be realized as cold
bent glass panelizations. Originally flat glass panels are bent into frames and
remain stressed. This is a cost-efficient fabrication approach compared to hot
bending, when glass panels are shaped plastically. However such constructions
are prone to breaking during bending, and it is highly\r\nnontrivial to navigate
the design space, keeping the panels fabricable and aesthetically pleasing at
the same time. We introduce an interactive design system for cold bent glass façades,
while previously even offline optimization for such scenarios has not been sufficiently
developed. Our method is based on a deep learning approach providing quick\r\nand
high precision estimation of glass panel shape and stress while handling the shape\r\nmultimodality.\r\nFabrication
of smaller objects of scales below 1 m, can also greatly benefit from shaping
originally flat sheets. In this respect, we designed new self-morphing shell mechanisms
transforming from an initial flat state to a doubly curved state with high precision
and detail. Our so-called CurveUps demonstrate the encodement of the geometric
information\r\ninto the shell. Furthermore, we explored the frontiers of programmable
materials and showed how temporal information can additionally be encoded into
a flat shell. This allows prescribing deformation sequences for doubly curved
surfaces and, thus, facilitates self-collision avoidance enabling complex shapes
and functionalities otherwise impossible.\r\nBoth of these methods include inverse
design tools keeping the user in the design loop."

text: Given their ability to provide food, raw material and alleviate poverty, oil
palm (OP) plantations are driving significant losses of biodiversity-rich tropical
forests, fuelling a heated debate on ecosystem degradation and conservation. However,
while OP-induced carbon emissions and biodiversity losses have received significant
attention, OP water requirements have been marginalized and little is known on
the ecohydrological changes (water and surface energy fluxes) occurring from forest
clearing to plantation maturity. Numerical simulations supported by field observations
from seven sites in Southeast Asia (five OP plantations and two tropical forests)
are used here to illustrate the temporal evolution of OP actual evapotranspiration
(ET), infiltration/runoff, gross primary productivity (GPP) and surface temperature
as well as their changes relative to tropical forests. Model results from large-scale
commercial plantations show that young OP plantations decrease ecosystem ET, causing
hotter and drier climatic conditions, but mature plantations (age > 8−9 yr) have
higher GPP and transpire more water (up to +7.7%) than the forests they have replaced.
This is the result of physiological constraints on water use efficiency and the
extremely high yield of OP (six to ten times higher than other oil crops). Hence,
the land use efficiency of mature OP, i.e. the high productivity per unit of land
area, comes at the expense of water consumption in a trade of water for carbon
that may jeopardize local water resources. Sequential replanting and herbaceous
ground cover can reduce the severity of such ecohydrological changes and support
local water/climate regulation.

text: 'Extreme rainfall is quantified in engineering practice using Intensity–Duration–Frequency
curves (IDF) that are traditionally derived from rain-gauges and more recently
also from remote sensing instruments, such as weather radars. These instruments
measure rainfall at different spatial scales: rain-gauge samples rainfall at the
point scale while weather radar averages precipitation on a relatively large area,
generally around 1 km2. As such, a radar derived IDF curve is representative of
the mean areal rainfall over a given radar pixel and neglects the within-pixel
rainfall variability. In this study, we quantify subpixel variability of extreme
rainfall by using a novel space–time rainfall generator (STREAP model) that downscales
in space the rainfall within a given radar pixel. The study was conducted using
a unique radar data record (23 years) and a very dense rain-gauge network in the
Eastern Mediterranean area (northern Israel). Radar–IDF curves, together with
an ensemble of point-based IDF curves representing the radar subpixel extreme
rainfall variability, were developed fitting Generalized Extreme Value (GEV) distributions
to annual rainfall maxima. It was found that the mean areal extreme rainfall derived
from the radar underestimate most of the extreme values computed for point locations
within the radar pixel (on average, ∼70%). The subpixel variability of rainfall
extreme was found to increase with longer return periods and shorter durations
(e.g. from a maximum variability of 10% for a return period of 2 years and a duration
of 4 h to 30% for 50 years return period and 20 min duration). For the longer
return periods, a considerable enhancement of extreme rainfall variability was
found when stochastic (natural) climate variability was taken into account. Bounding
the range of the subpixel extreme rainfall derived from radar–IDF can be of major
importance for different applications that require very local estimates of rainfall
extremes.'

text: 'While the significance of elevated atmospheric CO2 concentration on instantaneous
leaf-level processes such as photosynthesis and transpiration is rarely disputed,
its integrated effect at ecosystem level and at long-time scales remains a subject
of debate. In part, the uncertainty stems from the inherent leaf-to-leaf variability
in gas exchange rates. By combining 10 years of leaf gas exchange measurements
collected during the Duke Forest Free Air CO2 Enrichment (FACE) experiment and
three different leaf-scale stomatal conductance models, the leaf-to-leaf variability
in photosynthetic and stomatal conductance properties is examined. How this variability
is then reflected in ecosystem water vapor and carbon dioxide fluxes is explored
by scaling up the leaf-level process to the canopy using model calculations. The
main results are: (a) the space-time variability of the photosynthesis and stomatal
conductance response is considerable as expected. (b) Variability of the calculated
leaf level fluxes is dependent on both the meteorological drivers and differences
in leaf age, position within the canopy, nitrogen and CO2 fertilization, which
can be accommodated in model parameters. (c) Meteorological variability is playing
the dominant role at short temporal scales while parameter variability is significant
at longer temporal scales. (d) Leaf level results do not necessarily translate
to similar ecosystem level responses due to indirect effects and other compensatory
mechanisms related to long-term vegetation dynamics and ecosystem water balance.'

text: "Plant trait diversity in many vegetation models is crudely represented using
a discrete classification of a handful of ‘plant types’ (named plant functional
types; PFTs). The parameterization of PFTs reflects mean properties of observed
plant traits over broad categories ignoring most of the inter‐ and intraspecific
plant trait variability.\r\n\r\nTaking advantage of a multivariate leaf‐trait
distribution (leaf economics spectrum), as well as documented plant drought strategies,
we generate an ensemble of hypothetical species with coordinated attributes, rather
than using few PFTs. The behavior of these proxy species is tested using a mechanistic
ecohydrological model that translates plant traits into plant performance. Simulations
are carried out for a range of climates representative of different elevations
and wetness conditions in the European Alps. Using this framework we investigate
the sensitivity of ecosystem response to plant trait diversity and compare it
with the sensitivity to climate variability.\r\n\r\nPlant trait diversity leads
to highly divergent vegetation carbon dynamics (fluxes and pools) and to a lesser
extent water fluxes (transpiration). Abiotic variables, such as soil water content
and evaporation, are only marginally affected.\r\n\r\nThese results highlight
the need for revising the representation of plant attributes in vegetation models.
Probabilistic approaches, based on observed multivariate whole‐plant trait distributions,
provide a viable alternative."

text: Increasing concentrations of atmospheric carbon dioxide are expected to affect
carbon assimilation and evapotranspiration (ET), ultimately driving changes in
plant growth, hydrology, and the global carbon balance. Direct leaf biochemical
effects have been widely investigated, whereas indirect effects, although documented,
elude explicit quantification in experiments. Here, we used a mechanistic model
to investigate the relative contributions of direct (through carbon assimilation)
and indirect (via soil moisture savings due to stomatal closure, and changes in
leaf area index) effects of elevated CO2 across a variety of ecosystems. We specifically
determined which ecosystems and climatic conditions maximize the indirect effects
of elevated CO2. The simulations suggest that the indirect effects of elevated
CO2 on net primary productivity are large and variable, ranging from less than
10% to more than 100% of the size of direct effects. For ET, indirect effects
were, on average, 65% of the size of direct effects. Indirect effects tended to
be considerably larger in water-limited ecosystems. As a consequence, the total
CO2 effect had a significant, inverse relationship with the wetness index and
was directly related to vapor pressure deficit. These results have major implications
for our understanding of the CO2 response of ecosystems and for global projections
of CO2 fertilization, because, although direct effects are typically understood
and easily reproducible in models, simulations of indirect effects are far more
challenging and difficult to constrain. Our findings also provide an explanation
for the discrepancies between experiments in the total CO2 effect on net primary
productivity.

text: 'In hydrological models, variably saturated flow is often described using
the Richards equation, either in a fully three-dimensional (3D) implementation
or using a quasi-3D framework based on the 1D Richards equation for vertical flow
and a flow-approximation for the other two dimensions. However, it is unclear
in which configuration or under which boundary conditions these approximations
can produce adequate estimates. In this study, two formulations with a quasi-3D
approach are benchmarked against a fully 3D model (HYDRUS-3D). The formulations
are: the Real-time Integrated Basin Simulator + VEGetation Generator for Interactive
Evolution (tRIBS + VEGGIE) model that uses the Dupuit–Forchheimer assumption and
the Tethys & Chloris (T&C) model that implements the kinematic approach.
Effects of domain slope, hillslope size, event size and initial moisture conditions
on simulated runoff and soil moisture dynamics are examined in event-based simulations
at the hillslope scale. The Dupuit–Forchheimer assumption (tRIBS-VEGGIE) produces
deviations from the HYDRUS-3D solutions only for simulations with initially dry
soil. Using the kinematic approach (T&C) results in deviations from the 3D
solution primarily for the small hillslope domain in combination with a gentle
slope angle. This applies especially to the partition between subsurface and surface
runoff production, with T&C being biased towards the latter. For all other
cases investigated, the simpler formulations provide reasonable approximations
of the 3D model.'

text: 'Process-based hydrological models have a long history dating back to the
1960s. Criticized by some as over-parameterized, overly complex, and difficult
to use, a more nuanced view is that these tools are necessary in many situations
and, in a certain class of problems, they are the most appropriate type of hydrological
model. This is especially the case in situations where knowledge of flow paths
or distributed state variables and/or preservation of physical constraints is
important. Examples of this include: spatiotemporal variability of soil moisture,
groundwater flow and runoff generation, sediment and contaminant transport, or
when feedbacks among various Earth’s system processes or understanding the impacts
of climate non-stationarity are of primary concern. These are situations where
process-based models excel and other models are unverifiable. This article presents
this pragmatic view in the context of existing literature to justify the approach
where applicable and necessary. We review how improvements in data availability,
computational resources and algorithms have made detailed hydrological simulations
a reality. Avenues for the future of process-based hydrological models are presented
suggesting their use as virtual laboratories, for design purposes, and with a
powerful treatment of uncertainty.'

text: "A fully distributed hydrological analysis at scales significant for water
management for present-day, and\r\nprojected future climate conditions is presented
for a catchment in the Alps. We selected the upper Rhone\r\nbasin (Switzerland)
as a test case for understanding anthropogenic impacts including climate change
on\r\nwater resources and flood risk in the Alpine area. The upper Rhone basin
contains reservoirs, river diversions and irrigated areas offering the opportunity
to study the interaction between climate change effects\r\nand hydraulic infrastructure.
Anthropogenic disturbances of the flow regime were implemented in detail\r\nin
the hydrological analysis. We downscaled climate model realizations using a methodology
that\r\naccounts for the uncertainty in climate change projections related to
the stochastic variability of precipitation and air temperature. We showed how
climate change effects on streamflow propagate from high\r\nelevation headwater
catchments to the river in the main valley by analyzing changes in several hydrological
metrics and at various temporal scales across 297 control sections. Changes in
the natural hydrological regime imposed by the existing hydraulic infrastructure
are likely larger than climate change\r\nsignals expected by the middle of the
21st century in most of the river network. Despite a strong uncertainty induced
by stochastic climate variability, we identified an elevational dependence of
climate\r\nchange impacts with a severe reduction in streamflow due to the missing
contribution of water from\r\nice melt at high-elevation and a dampened effect
downstream. Reduced ice cover and ice melt are likely\r\nto have significant implications
for hydropower production. The impacts can emerge without any additional climate
warming. A decrease of August–September discharge and an increase of hourly and
daily\r\nmaximum flows appear as plausible projected change for the most part
of the catchment. However, it is\r\nunlikely that major changes in total runoff
for the entire upper Rhone basin will occur in the next four\r\ndecades."

text: The spatio-temporal variability of rainfall, especially at fine temporal and
spatial scales can significantly affect flood generation, leading to a large variability
in the flood response and uncertainty in its prediction. In this study we quantify
the impact of rainfall spatial and temporal structure on the catchment hydrological
response based on a numerical experiment. Rainfall ensembles generated using a
state-of-the-art space–time stochastic model are used as input into a distributed
process-based hydrological model. The sensitivity of the hydrograph to several
structural characteristics of storm rainfall for three soil moisture initial conditions
is numerically assessed at the basin outlet of an Alpine catchment in central
Switzerland. The results highlight that the flood response is strongly affected
by the temporal correlation of rainfall and to a lesser extent by its spatial
variability. Initial soil moisture conditions play a paramount role in mediating
the response. We identify the underlying mechanistic explanations in terms of
runoff generation and connectivity of saturated areas that determine the sensitivity
of flood response to the spatio-temporal variability of rainfall. We show that
the element that mostly influences both the flood peak and the time of peak occurrence
is the clustering of saturated areas in the catchment which leads to local enhanced
runoff.

text: Projections of climate change effects in streamflow are increasingly required
to plan water management strategies. These projections are however largely uncertain
due to the spread among climate model realizations, internal climate variability,
and difficulties in transferring climate model results at the spatial and temporal
scales required by catchment hydrology. A combination of a stochastic downscaling
methodology and distributed hydrological modeling was used in the ACQWA project
to provide projections of future streamflow (up to year 2050) for the upper Po
and Rhone basins, respectively located in northern Italy and south-western Switzerland.
Results suggest that internal (stochastic) climate variability is a fundamental
source of uncertainty, typically comparable or larger than the projected climate
change signal. Therefore, climate change effects in streamflow mean, frequency,
and seasonality can be masked by natural climatic fluctuations in large parts
of the analyzed regions. An exception to the overwhelming role of stochastic variability
is represented by high elevation catchments fed by glaciers where streamflow is
expected to be considerably reduced due to glacier retreat, with consequences
appreciable in the main downstream rivers in August and September. Simulations
also identify regions (west upper Rhone and Toce, Ticino river basins) where a
strong precipitation increase in the February to April period projects streamflow
beyond the range of natural climate variability during the melting season. This
study emphasizes the importance of including internal climate variability in climate
change analyses, especially when compared to the limited uncertainty that would
be accounted for by few deterministic projections. The presented results could
be useful in guiding more specific impact studies, although design or management
decisions should be better based on reliability and vulnerability criteria as
suggested by recent literature.

text: Projections of the future carbon and water cycles rely on knowledge on how
forests will respond to rising atmospheric CO2. Experiments with elevated CO2
are logistically challenging and carbon pools and fluxes are difficult to measure
and upscale due to their spatiotemporal heterogeneity. Therefore, it is important
to combine the knowledge derived from experimental results with modeling. Here,
we systematically compare data from a free air CO2 enrichment (FACE) experiment
in a mature deciduous forest in Switzerland with realizations from an ecohydrological
model (Tethys–Chloris). We test whether a mechanistic ecohydrological model is
able to simulate physiological plant responses under ambient and elevated CO2
concentration. We overcome measurement limitations by quantifying differences
in response to ambient and elevated CO2 over ten years. The reliability of model
realizations is demonstrated by comparing simulations with field observations
of stomatal conductance, sap flow, leaf and fruit litter, and stem growth. The
model successfully captures the observed CO2-induced difference in stomatal conductance
and transpiration and its sensitivity to atmospheric demand, as well as qualitative
changes in soil moisture. The simulated differences between CO2 scenarios generally
fall within the uncertainty of experimental observations, both for the carbon
and water balance. Simulated total evapotranspiration is 2.8% (18 mm yr−1) lower
and soil moisture 1.2% higher in the CO2-enriched scenario. Latent and sensible
heat are modified by ca. 1 W m−2. Net primary production is simulated to increase
by 19.8% and allocation to stem growth is 53 gC yr−1 m−2 higher in the elevated
CO2 scenario, which represents the limit of the detection threshold of the experiment.
Results show that while ecohydrological models can be used to reliably simulate
multi-year energy, water, and carbon fluxes at the stand level, testing carbon
allocation remains critical with current accuracy of field measurements. Uncertainties
due to the simplified carbon allocation scheme are shown to be more significant
for carbon than for energy and water fluxes. Generally, we conclude that for this
type of forest, differences in annual energy and water fluxes induced by elevated
CO2 are likely to be less than 10%.
