Future socio-ecosystem productivity threatened by compound drought–heatwave events
Compound drought–heatwave (CDHW) events are one of the worst climatic stressors for
global sustainable development. However, the physical mechanisms behind CDHWs and …

Earlier collapse of Anthropocene ecosystems driven by multiple faster and noisier drivers
A major concern for the world's ecosystems is the possibility of collapse, where landscapes
and the societies they support change abruptly. Accelerating stress levels, increasing …

The 2018–2020 multi‐year drought sets a new benchmark in Europe
Abstract During the period 2018–2020, Europe experienced a series of hot and dry weather
conditions with significant socioeconomic and environmental consequences. Yet, the …

Climate change experiences raise environmental concerns and promote Green voting
Public support is fundamental in scaling up actions to limit global warming. Here, we
analyse how the experience of climate extremes influences people's environmental attitudes …

Microclimate and forest density drive plant population dynamics under climate change
Macroclimatic changes are impacting ecosystems worldwide. However, a large portion of
terrestrial species live under conditions where impacts of macroclimate change are buffered …

Recent human-induced atmospheric drying across Europe unprecedented in the last 400 years
The vapor pressure deficit reflects the difference between how much moisture the
atmosphere could and actually does hold, a factor that fundamentally affects …

Long-term decrease in Asian monsoon rainfall and abrupt climate change events over the past 6,700 years
Asian summer monsoon (ASM) variability and its long-term ecological and societal impacts
extending back to Neolithic times are poorly understood due to a lack of high-resolution …
