- Abstract
NEED FOR REVISED ECOHYDROLOGICAL PERSPECTIVE ON DROUGHT To progress in drought research and management, we need to adopt an ecohydrological perspective on drought if we are to advance theory and practice around drought feedback and impacts on the environment and society, which considers the intertwined interconnections between climate-land-hydrology-ecology processes. This is critical, since droughts globally shape ecosystem patterns and processes and can lead to irreversible shifts in ecosystem structure and function - defined as transformative droughts (Crausbay et al., 2020) - with different resistance of different ecosystems to droughts (Crausbay et al., 2020). Different ecosystems have developed different strategies dealing with drought and it is important to understand how drought characteristics such as intensity and duration would affect ecosystem structure and stability. Such understanding is essential to define ecosystem sensitivity and resilience to droughts and ecosystem thresholds and triggers tipping points ecosystem state (Aspin et al., 2019; Crausbay et al., 2020; Munson et al., 2021).
