This study investigates future aridity changes in the Mediterranean under the RCP4. 5 and
RCP8. 5 IPCC future climate scenarios, using nine bias-corrected, high-resolution …

The Mediterranean Sea is considered a hot spot of global warming because it has been
changing faster than the global ocean, creating a strong impact on the marine environment …

To improve predictions of the future of ecosystems in a changing world, it is necessary to
