This review examines the role of the atmospheric evaporative demand (AED) in drought.
AED is a complex concept and here we discuss possible AED definitions, the subsequent …

Mediterranean areas of both southern Europe and North Africa are subject to dramatic

Soil erosion is a key factor in Mediterranean environments, and is not only closely related to
geoecological factors (lithology, topography, and climatology) but also to land-use and plant …

Mountains are essential sources of freshwater for our world, but their role in global water
resources could well be significantly altered by climate change. How well do we understand …

Farmland abandonment is a major problem in parts of Europe, particularly in mountain

Streamflow observations from near-natural catchments are of paramount importance for
detection and attribution studies, evaluation of large-scale model simulations, and …

The impacts of climate and land use changes on streamflow and sediment export were
evaluated for a humid (São Lourenço) and a dry (Guadalupe) Mediterranean catchment …

An increase in extreme precipitation is projected for many areas worldwide in the coming
decades. To assess the impact of increased precipitation intensity on water security, we …
