The direct impacts of climate change involve a multitude of phenomena, including rising sea
levels, intensified severe weather events such as droughts and flooding, increased …

Climate change and extreme weather events (such as droughts, heatwaves, rainstorms and
floods) pose serious challenges for water management, in terms of both water resources …

Flash droughts have occurred frequently worldwide, with a rapid onset that challenges
drought monitoring and forecasting capabilities. However, there is no consensus on whether …

Climate change has been partially mitigated by an increasing net land carbon sink in the
terrestrial biosphere; understanding the processes that drive this sink is thus essential for …

Drought-associated woody-plant mortality has been increasing in most regions with multi-
decadal records and is projected to increase in the future, impacting terrestrial climate …

Plant response to drought stress involves fungi and bacteria that live on and in plants and in
the rhizosphere, yet the stability of these myco-and micro-biomes remains poorly …

Drought is one of the most difficult natural hazards to quantify and is divided into categories
(meteorological, agricultural, ecological and hydrological), which makes assessing recent …

Although elevated atmospheric CO2 concentration (eCO2) has substantial indirect effects on
vegetation carbon uptake via associated climate change, their dynamics remain unclear …

Climate models project that many terrestrial ecosystems will become drier over the course of
this century, leading to a drastic increase in the global extent of arid soils. In order to …

Despite the growing interest in predicting global and regional trends in vegetation
productivity in response to a changing climate, changes in water constraint on vegetation …
