Drylands are characterized by climate variability and water scarcity because of the low rainfall and high evapotranspiration from surface. The United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification defined drylands as the areas where the Aridity Index (AI) is less than 0.65. Drylands account for about 41% of the earth's land surface and up to 44% of cultivated systems in the world are in drylands. 2, record 1, English, - dryland%20climate

La zone aride se caractérise par une chaleur excessive et une précipitation insuffisante et variable; on y trouve cependant des contrastes climatiques. Ceux-ci résultent en général des différences de température, de saison des pluies et de degré d’aridité.

In the case of number of dry days in a season, only two subregions ... are shown[. Much] lower prediction skills [are] found for the number of dry days compared to that obtained for the [number of wet] days. This is due to the fact [that] both variables depend not only [on] the intraseasonal distribution of the rainfall[,] but also on the length of the rainy season. A longer rainy season generally experiences both a greater absolute and relative frequency of wet days. By contrast[,] a longer rainy season tends to be associated with a lesser relative frequency of dry days; hence[,] an increase in the length of the season has an inverse (mechanical) effect to potentially increase the absolute number of dry days. 2, record 2, English, - intraseasonal%20distribution

Even when no immediate danger to crops is inflicted, agricultural production can still suffer in flood plains (of rivers) because of the unpredictable arrival and magnitude of the flood unless crops are suited to the inundation. In many parts of the developing world seasonal flood recession cultivation provides basic food requirements and is particularly vulnerable to irregular inundation. 1, record 23, English, - flood%20recession%20cultivation
