https://hdl.handle.net/10568/169146
Abstract
This dataset contains raster files of climate hazard indices at a 0.7° spatial resolution, globally. Climate hazards consist of (1) heat hazard, (2) flood hazard, (3) drought hazard, (4) compound hazard which takes into account the co-occurring effects of heat, flood and drought. The climate hazards are given for a baseline period (spanning 1981 to 2010), and a near-term future period (2020 to 2040).…

Data on impact of soil compaction, drought and their combination on vertical root distribution, morphological traits, and soil water patterns in Urochloa hybrids
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/163747
Abstract
Urochloa grasses are typically grown in rain-fed systems, where soil compaction and water limitation (drought) significantly reduce their productivity. Deep roots are a key trait in these grasses, allowing them to access water from soil layers at depth during droughts, which helps to prevent water stress (Cardoso et al., 2015).…
