QUE SIGNIFIE DROUGHT EN ANGLAIS

Sécheresse

Drought

La sécheresse est une période prolongée où une région reçoit une déficience dans son approvisionnement en eau, qu'il s'agisse d'eaux atmosphériques, de surface ou souterraines. Une sécheresse peut durer des mois ou des années, ou peut être déclarée après seulement 15 jours. Généralement, cela se produit lorsqu'une région reçoit régulièrement des précipitations inférieures à la moyenne. Cela peut avoir un impact important sur l'écosystème et l'agriculture de la région touchée. Bien que les sécheresses puissent persister pendant plusieurs années, même une sécheresse courte et intense peut causer des dommages importants et nuire à l'économie locale. La sécheresse prolongée a provoqué des migrations massives et des crises humanitaires. De nombreuses espèces de plantes, comme les cactus, ont des adaptations telles que la réduction de la surface foliaire et des cuticules cireux pour améliorer leur capacité à tolérer la sécheresse. D'autres survivent à des périodes sèches comme des graines enterrées. La sécheresse semi-permanente produit des biomes arides comme les déserts et les prairies. La plupart des écosystèmes arides ont une faible productivité.

Drought is an extended period when a region receives a deficiency in its water supply, whether atmospheric, surface or ground water. A drought can last for months or years, or may be declared after as few as 15 days. Generally, this occurs when a region receives consistently below average precipitation. It can have a substantial impact on the ecosystem and agriculture of the affected region. Although droughts can persist for several years, even a short, intense drought can cause significant damage and harm to the local economy. Prolonged drought has caused cause mass migrations and humanitarian crises. Many plant species, such as cacti, have adaptations such as reduced leaf area and waxy cuticles to enhance their ability to tolerate drought. Some others survive dry periods as buried seeds. Semi-permanent drought produces arid biomes such as deserts and grasslands. Most arid ecosystems have inherently low productivity.

Bob Beauprez

I can't help but recall my dad and mom. Depression era kids, 8th and 9th grade educations, clawed and scratched to make a living as dairy farmers their whole life. At least two drought cycles nearly took it all away. They just worked harder, longer... and they made it.
