A modified vegetation water supply index (MVWSI) and its application in drought monitoring over Sichuan and Chongqing, China by Men-xin WU, Hou-quan LU

“…Compared with vegetation condition index (VCI), temperature condition index (TCI), vegetation temperature condition index (VTCI) and temperature vegetation drought index (TVDI), MVWSI is simpler in calculation and more stable hence more easily realized in application.…”

Drought Change Trend Using MODIS TVDI and Its Relationship with Climate Factors in China from 2001 to 2010 by Liang LIANG, Shu-he ZHAO, Zhi-hao QIN, Ke-xun HE, Chong CHEN, Yun-xiao LUO, Xing-dong ZHOU

“…The temperature vegetation drought index (TVDI) datasets recorded during 2001 to 2010 in China were constructed by using the moderate-resolution imaging spectroradiometer (MODIS) data, and the temporal and spatial variations in drought were analyzed. …”

The beneficial impact of silicon on wheat drought resilience is dependent on cultivar and stress intensity by Katie Shaw, Sarah Thorne, Caroline Chapman, Andrew Fleming, Susan Hartley, Julie Gray

“…Next, two genotypes that showed yield improvements with Si under short-term severe drought stress (Fielder and H5) were subjected to a longer-term vegetative drought stress. Here, Si had minimal effects on stomatal conductance, water use or biomass, suggesting that the impact of Si on drought resilience is strongly affected by drought type and duration. …”
