We review observational, experimental, and model results on how plants respond to
extreme climatic conditions induced by changing climatic variability. Distinguishing between …

Climate change is likely to have a major impact on agricultural production in Mediterranean
regions, due to higher temperatures and lower water availability for irrigation. A Hybrid Land …

Thermal comfort is a major issue in cities and it is expected to change in the future due to the
changing climate. The objective of this paper is to use the universal thermal comfort index …

The simultaneous variability of several climate extremes in Romania on the one hand and
the understanding of the large-scale mechanisms responsible for this variability on the other …

Two statistical downscaling (SD) models, the nonhomogeneous hidden Markov model
(NHMM) and the statistical down‐scaling model (SDSM), which have been widely applied …

There are many environmental challenges in water-limited places in the 21st century,
particularly in dry and semi-arid regions, due to the threat of climate change caused by the …

Trends of Mediterranean extreme temperatures are analysed for the period 1961–1990
based on daily station time series. Increases can be identified in the western Mediterranean …

Water deficit limiting yields is one of the negative aspects of climate change. However, this
applies particularly when emphasis is on biomass production (eg for field crops), but not …

Optimum statistical downscaling models for three winter precipitation indices in the Emilia-
Romagna region, especially related to extreme events, were investigated. For this purpose …

Climate change and the development of new plant hybrids raise questions about future
agricultural land use potentials that cannot be answered by expert knowledge based on past …
