Global warming-driven soil desiccation and hydrological decline in Namangan foothills, Uzbekistan

The foothills of Central Asia are climate-sensitive transition zones where persistent warming is driving a “warming–drying paradox”—water resources decline even as rainfall holds steady because evapotranspiration exceeds precipitation. This study assessed long-term hydroclimatic change in the Namangan foothills of east...
