英文摘要 | Dryland ecosystems cover 40% of our planet's land surface, support billions of people, and are responding rapidly to climate and land use change. These expansive systems also dominate core aspects of Earth's climate, storing and exchanging vast amounts of water, carbon, and energy with the atmosphere. Despite their indispensable ecosystem services and high vulnerability to change, drylands are one of the least understood ecosystem types, partly due to challenges studying their heterogeneous landscapes and misconceptions that drylands are unproductive "wastelands." Consequently, inadequate understanding of dryland processes has resulted in poor model representation and forecasting capacity, hindering decision making for these at-risk ecosystems. NASA satellite resources are increasingly available at the higher resolutions needed to enhance understanding of drylands' heterogeneous spatiotemporal dynamics. NASA's Terrestrial Ecology Program solicited proposals for scoping a multi-year field campaign, of which Adaptation and Response in Drylands (ARID) was one of two scoping studies selected. A primary goal of the scoping study is to gather input from the scientific and data end-user communities on dryland research gaps and data user needs. Here, we provide an overview of the ARID team's community engagement and how it has guided development of our framework. This includes an ARID kickoff meeting with over 300 participants held in October 2023 at the University of Arizona to gather input from data end-users and scientists. We also summarize insights gained from hundreds of follow-up activities, including from a tribal-engagement focused workshop in New Mexico, conference town halls, intensive roundtables, and international engagements. Drylands are landscapes with limited water availability, which cover 40% of Earth's land surfaces, support billions of humans, and play a substantial role in Earth's weather and climate systems. However, these ecosystems are under threat from droughts and heatwaves. They are also poorly understood because of challenges measuring their highly diverse vegetation types and interspersed vegetation cover and because of incorrect perceptions that they are unimportant "wastelands." These limitations make it challenging to manage their landscapes and quantify how drylands are driving Earth's weather and climate. NASA solicited proposals for a multi-year field campaign, of which Adaptation and Response in Drylands (ARID) was one of two scoping studies selected. The ARID scoping study aims to design a plan for how NASA satellite, aircraft, and field instruments can be used to better understand dryland ecosystems and their response to change. A primary scoping goal is to engage with scientists and data-users, especially those who manage land, to understand research and management priorities in drylands. Here, we discuss details of our meeting with over 300 scientists and data-users in Tucson, AZ in October 2023. We also highlight feedback from our tribal-focused workshop in New Mexico, conference town halls, and international meetings. |
