Global Irrigation Modeling Relies More on Pragmatic Than Empirical Assumptions Open
Many global water models contain an irrigation module that simulates irrigation water withdrawals based on several assumptions on climate conditions, crop management, soil moisture, irrigation practices or water source. However, we do not …

Widely cited global irrigation statistics lack empirical support Open
A prevailing notion in sustainability science is that irrigated agriculture underpins global food and water security because it accounts for 40% of crop production and 70% of freshwater withdrawals. Through a network citation analysis of 3…

Socio-environmental modeling shows physics-like confidence with water modeling surpassing it in numerical claims Open
Several modern scientific fields rely on computationally intensive mathematical models to study uncertain, complex socio-environmental phenomena such as the spread of a virus, climate change, or the water cycle. However, the degree of epis…

Volume explored by a branching random walk on general graphs Open
Branching processes are used to model diverse social and physical scenarios, from extinction of family names to nuclear fission. However, for a better description of natural phenomena, such as viral epidemics in cellular tissues, animal po…

Critical density of the Abelian Manna model via a multitype branching process Open
A multitype branching process is introduced to mimic the evolution of the avalanche activity and determine the critical density of the Abelian Manna model. This branching process incorporates partially the spatiotemporal correlations of th…

Persistent Threshold Dynamics with Recovery in Complex Networks Open
Threshold rules of spreading in binary-state networks lead to cascades. We study persistent cascade-recovery dynamics on quasi-robust networks, i.e., networks which are robust against small trigger but may collapse for larger one. It is ob…

Comment on “Finite-size scaling of survival probability in branching processes” Open
R. Garcia-Millan et al. [Phys. Rev. E 91, 042122 (2015)PLEEE81539-375510.1103/PhysRevE.91.042122] reported a universal finite-size scaling form of the survival probability in discrete time branching processes. In this comment, we generaliz…
