“…While floods tend to contaminate and ruin water quality, droughts decrease the available amount of water needed for animals and plants to survive (Muluneh, 2021). Previous scientific studies claim that climate change is having an increasing impact on biodiversity as it negatively affects water resources (Fonseca, 2022;Sternberg et al, 2015;Talukder, 2022) by increasing droughts as a result of long-term evaporation, floods, ocean warming and acidification (Boone & McCleery, 2023;Muluneh, 2021).…”

“…Also, wild animals will need more water during droughts since they will have to rely more on evaporative cooling to remove extra heat (Turner et al, 2022). Furthermore, changes in species' geographic ranges, growing seasons, reproductive phenology, primary production, and diversity are among the anticipated effects of climate change on water supplies (Fonseca, 2022;Habibullah et al, 2022;Moullec, 2022;Numata et al, 2022;Ornelas et al, 2018). Thus, any change in water resources (i.e., quantity and quality) brought on by the effects of climate change on precipitation might result in biodiversity loss (Fonseca, 2022;Habibullah et al, 2022;Nyembo et al, 2022); change in animal behaviour and physiology (Turner et al, 2022); and many other negative impacts (Table 1).…”

“…Climate change's impact on water resources is the most critical factor that can determine species' distribution and ranges on the planet (Fonseca, 2022;Gonçalves, 2021;Pacheco et al, 2010;Sternberg et al, 2015). It is posing a threat to the population and migration of wildlife species and their habitats by altering the hydrology, circulation, and availability of water resources (Chhaytle et al, 2022;Nunez et al, 2019).…”

“…When water is scarce, it impacts on wildlife, which usually like getting fresh, good-tasting water (McCluney et al, 2011;Turner et al, 2022). Over the past few decades, biodiversity (plants and animals) and ecosystems have concurrently been impacted by the increasing influences of climate change on water availability and quality in many different parts of the world (Fonseca, 2022;Leal Filho, 2019;Meng et al, 2016). Climate variability and the associated extreme droughts (e.g., El-Nino events) and frequent short-period rainstorms (e.g., La-Nina conditions) have negative impacts on river flows and lake levels (Meng & Xiong, 2018;Mwabumba, 2022).…”

Climate change-related impacts on water resources can significantly lead to biodiversity loss. Species with specific water resource adaptations, including threatened and endemic species, are in danger of going extinct. The effect of climate change on biodiversity related to water scarcity or shortages has received less attention despite being acknowledged. This paper provides up-to-date collective information and knowledge gap on the impact of climate change on water and how it impacts biodiversity with a particular focus on the connection between climate change impacts, water resources, and the species biodiversity. Sixty (60) original peer reviewed research or review articles, and reports were reviewed to highpoint the impact of climate change on water resources and its implications on biodiversity including human being. We highlight that the impact of climate change on water resources (e.g., water scarcity and shortages) exerts more pressure on biodiversity conservation as it directly affects the growth and behaviour of species and modifies their habitats, population size, composition, interactions, timing of reproduction, reproductive phenology, and growing season. Furthermore, being the part of earth’s biodiversity, humans are also affected by the climate change water-related problems. This review earmarked that water shortages due to climate change puts the human population at great risk in terms of crop productivity, food security, and a variety of economic activities. Well–designed infrastructure to harvest water, mitigate and adapt to climate change is vital for protecting biodiversity from climate risks i.e., water shortages. This review paper is useful to government agencies charged with climate change and environmental conservation and policymakers mostly in developing nations to widen goals where the impact of climate is more noticeable. In addition, several deaths of animals and human due to water shortages have been reported.

Scientific modelling can be accessible, interoperable and user friendly: A case study for pasture and livestock modelling in Spain

This article describes the adaptation of a non-spatial model of pastureland dynamics, including vegetation life cycle, livestock management and nitrogen cycle, for use in a spatially explicit and modular modelling platform (k.LAB) dedicated to make data and models more interoperable. The aim is to showcase to the social-ecological modelling community the delivery of an existing, monolithic model, into a more modular, transparent and accessible approach to potential end users, regional managers, farmers and other stakeholders. This also allows better usability and adaptability of the model beyond its originally intended geographical scope (the Cantabrian Region in the North of Spain). The original code base (written in R in 1,491 lines of code divided into 13 files) combines several algorithms drawn from the literature in an opaque fashion due to lack of modularity, non-semantic variable naming and implicit assumptions. The spatiotemporal rewrite is structured around a set of 10 namespaces called PaL (Pasture and Livestock), which includes 198 interoperable and independent models. The end user chooses the spatial and temporal context of the analysis through an intuitive web-based user interface called k.Explorer. Each model can be called individually or in conjunction with the others, by querying any PaL-related concepts in a search bar. A scientific dataflow and a provenance diagram are produced in conjunction with the model results for full transparency. We argue that this work demonstrates key steps needed to create more Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable (FAIR) models beyond the selected example. This is particularly essential in environments as complex as agricultural systems, where multidisciplinary knowledge needs to be integrated across diverse spatial and temporal scales in order to understand complex and changing problems.
