Agriculture bears much of the impact, and in many countries it is the most heavily affected sector. Over the past decades, efforts have been made to assess drought risk at different spatial scales. Here, we present for the first time an integrated assessment of drought risk for both irrigated and rainfed agricultural systems at the global scale. Composite hazard indicators were calculated for irrigated and rainfed systems separately using different drought indices based on historical climate conditions (1980–2016). Exposure was analyzed for irrigated and non-irrigated crops. Vulnerability was assessed through a socioecological-system (SES) perspective, using socioecological susceptibility and lack of coping-capacity indicators that were weighted by drought experts from around the world. The analysis shows that drought risk of rainfed and irrigated agricultural systems displays a heterogeneous pattern at the global level, with higher risk for southeastern Europe as well as northern and southern Africa. By providing information on the drivers and spatial patterns of drought risk in all dimensions of hazard, exposure and vulnerability, the presented analysis can support the identification of tailored measures to reduce drought risk and increase the resilience of agricultural systems."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.5194/nhess-20-695-2020"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/82128"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","DOI Import GROB-399"],["dc.relation.eissn","1684-9981"],["dc.relation.orgunit","Department für Nutzpflanzenwissenschaften"],["dc.relation.orgunit","Fakultät für Agrarwissenschaften"],["dc.relation.orgunit","Abteilung Pflanzenbau"],["dc.title","Global-scale drought risk assessment for agricultural systems"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.subtype","original_ja"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

Environmental and socioeconomic factors in South Africa's agricultural system have been affected by drought in the past, creating cascading pressures on the nation's agro-economic and water supply systems. Therefore, understanding the key drivers of all risk components through a comprehensive risk assessment must be undertaken in order to inform proactive drought risk management. This paper presents, for the first time, a national drought risk assessment for irrigated and rainfed systems, that takes into account the complex interaction between different risk components. We use modeling and remote sensing approaches and involve national experts in selecting vulnerability indicators and providing information on human and natural drivers. Our results show that all municipalities have been affected by drought in the last 30 years. The years 1981–1982, 1992, 2016 and 2018 were marked as the driest years during the study period (1981–2018) compared to the reference period (1986–2015). In general, the irrigated systems are remarkably less often affected by drought than rainfed systems; however, most farmers on irrigated land are smallholders for whom drought impacts can be significant. The drought risk of rainfed agricultural systems is exceptionally high in the north, central and west of the country, while for irrigated systems, there are more separate high-risk hotspots across the country. The vulnerability assessment identified potential entry points for disaster risk reduction at the local municipality level, such as increasing environmental awareness, reducing land degradation and increasing total dam and irrigation capacity."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1016/j.scitotenv.2021.149505"],["dc.identifier.pii","S0048969721045794"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/94719"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","DOI-Import GROB-478"],["dc.relation.doi","10.1016/j.scitotenv.2021.149505"],["dc.relation.issn","0048-9697"],["dc.relation.orgunit","Department für Nutzpflanzenwissenschaften"],["dc.title","Drought risk for agricultural systems in South Africa: Drivers, spatial patterns, and implications for drought risk management"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.subtype","original_ja"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]
