Investigation of the pressing impacts of climate change on drought is vital for sustainable
societal and ecosystem functioning. The magnitude of how much the drought will change …

Two questions motivated this study: 1) Will meteorological droughts become more frequent
and severe during the twenty-first century? 2) Given the projected global temperature rise, to …

While there is a clear demand for scenarios that provide alternative states in biodiversity with
respect to future emissions, a thorough analysis and communication of the associated …

Although numerous species distribution models have been developed, most were based on
insufficient distribution data or used older climate change scenarios. We aimed to quantify …

Abstract The MPI‐ESM1. 2 is the latest version of the Max Planck Institute Earth System
Model and is the baseline for the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 and …
