Heat waves (HWs) can cause large socioeconomic and environmental impacts. The
observed increases in their frequency, intensity and duration are projected to continue with …

Heatwaves constitute a major threat to human health and ecosystems. Projected increases
in heatwave frequency and severity thus lead to the need for prediction to enhance …

Compound droughts and hot events or extremes (CDHEs) may lead to larger repercussions
than do individual extremes. Due to the disastrous impacts and increased risk of these …

Irrigated agriculture accounts for∼ 90% of anthropogenic freshwater consumption, is
deployed on 22% of cultivated land, and provides 40% of global food production. Expanding …

Previous studies seldom consider humidity when examining heat‐related extremes, and
none have explored the effects of humidity on concurrent extremes of high heat stress and …

Climate change is drastically altering the frequency, duration, and severity of compound
drought‐heatwave (CDHW) episodes, which present a new challenge in environmental and …

The study of the impact of high temperature and drought on the yield of major staple crops
can provide important scientific support for the decision-making of agricultural sustainable …

Irrigation and urban greening can mitigate extreme temperatures and reduce adverse health
impacts from heat. However, some recent studies suggest these interventions could actually …

Combined heat and humidity is frequently described as the main driver of human heat‐
related mortality, more so than dry‐bulb temperature alone. While based on physiological …

Land‒atmosphere coupling intensifies the vulnerability of ecosystems in drylands. However,
whether and how ecological restoration would modify the land‒atmosphere coupling across …
