The world's big rivers and their floodplains were central to development of civilization and
are now home to c. 2.7 billion people. They are economically vital whilst also constituting …

The greatest impacts of climate change on ecosystems, wildlife and humans often arise from
extreme events rather than changes in climatic means. Northern high latitudes, including the …

While climate change will alter the distribution of water in time and space, quantifications of
drought risk under global warming remain uncertain. Here, we show that in Europe, drought …

Soils underpin terrestrial ecosystem functions, but they face numerous anthropogenic
pressures. Despite their crucial ecological role, we know little about how soils react to more …

Coral reefs underpin a range of ecosystem goods and services that contribute to the well‐
being of millions of people. However, tropical coral reefs in the Anthropocene are likely to be …

Globally, flood risk is projected to increase in the future due to climate change and
population growth. Here, we quantify the role of dams in flood mitigation, previously …

As a result of climate change in recent past and unsustainable land management, drought
became one of the most impacting disasters and, with the projected global warming, it is …

Drought is a complex natural hazard that impacts ecosystems and society in many ways.
Many of these impacts are associated with hydrological drought (drought in rivers, lakes …

Silicon (Si) speciation and availability in soils is highly important for ecosystem functioning,
because Si is a beneficial element for plant growth. Si chemistry is highly complex compared …

A warmer climate would increase the risk of floods. So far, only a few studies, have projected
changes in floods on a global scale. None of these studies relied on multiple climate …
