Heat waves (HWs) can cause large socioeconomic and environmental impacts. The
observed increases in their frequency, intensity and duration are projected to continue with …

Droughts and heatwaves cause agricultural loss, forest mortality, and drinking water scarcity,
especially when they occur simultaneously as combined events. Their predicted increase in …

Unprecedented heatwave-drought concurrences in the past two decades have been
reported over inner East Asia. Tree-ring–based reconstructions of heatwaves and soil …

The summer of 2018 was an extraordinary season in climatological terms for northern and
central Europe, bringing simultaneous, widespread, and concurrent heat and drought …

High air temperatures increase atmospheric vapor pressure deficit (VPD) and the severity of
drought, threatening forests worldwide. Plants regulate stomata to maximize carbon gain …

The effect of temperature on stomatal conductance (gs) and corresponding gas exchange
parameters was studied in two tree species with contrasting leaf anatomy and …

The number and intensity of heat waves has increased, and this trend is likely to continue
throughout the 21st century. Often, heat waves are accompanied by drought conditions. It is …

Heatwaves represent a significant natural hazard in Australia, arguably more hazardous to
human life than bushfires, tropical cyclones and floods. In the 2008/2009 summer, for …

Plants experience changes in light intensity and quality due to variations in solar angle and
shading from clouds and overlap** leaves. Stomatal opening to increasing irradiance is …

Abstract In late June 2021, western North America, and in particular the Pacific Northwest
experienced a heatwave with temperatures usually only encountered in hot desert climates …
