Drought is one of the most difficult natural hazards to quantify and is divided into categories
(meteorological, agricultural, ecological and hydrological), which makes assessing recent …

The geography and timing of changes in water availability under climate change are of
considerable societal interest. Characterizing these changes in a robust and meaningful …

Caption: Table A. 11. 2. Synthesis table summarising assessments presented in Tables 11.4-
11.21 for hot extremes (HOT EXT.), heavy precipitation (HEAVY PRECIP.), agriculture and …

Global land water underpins livelihoods, socioeconomic development, and ecosystems. It
remains unclear how water availability has changed in recent decades. Using an ensemble …

Climate extremes such as droughts and heatwaves have a large impact on terrestrial carbon
uptake by reducing gross primary production (GPP). While the evidence for increasing …

Riverine ecosystems have adapted to natural discharge variations across seasons.
However, evidence suggesting that climate change has already impacted magnitudes of …

Anthropogenic climate change is expected to affect global river flow. Here, we analyze time
series of low, mean, and high river flows from 7250 observatories around the world covering …

Reduced evaporation due to dry soils can affect the land surface energy balance, with
implications for local and downwind precipitation. When evaporation is constrained by soil …

Increasing evidence suggests that climate change impacts are already observed around the
world. Global environmental assessments face challenges to appraise the growing …

Droughts that exceed the magnitudes of historical variation ranges could occur increasingly
frequently under future climate conditions. However, the time of the emergence of …
