Compound heat and moisture extreme impacts on global crop yields under climate change
Extreme heat, drought and moisture excess are increasingly co-occurring within a single
growing season, impacting crop yields in global breadbasket regions. In this Review, we …

Observed increases in extreme fire weather driven by atmospheric humidity and temperature
Recent increases in regional wildfire activity have been linked to climate change. Here, we
analyse trends in observed global extreme fire weather and their meteorological drivers from …

Widespread shift from ecosystem energy to water limitation with climate change
Terrestrial ecosystems are essential for food and water security and CO2 uptake. Ecosystem
function is dependent on the availability of soil moisture, yet it is unclear how climate change …

Global terrestrial water storage and drought severity under climate change
Terrestrial water storage (TWS) modulates the hydrological cycle and is a key determinant of
water availability and an indicator of drought. While historical TWS variations have been …
