Kelp forests are productive coastal ecosystems that provide a range of ecosystem services. Mapping the distribution and area occupied by kelp forests is a critical step to identify their...

Evidence exists that tree mortality is accelerating in some regions of the tropics, with profound consequences for the future of the tropical carbon sink and the global anthropogenic carbon budget left to limit...

The resilience of the Amazon rainforest to climate and land-use change is crucial for biodiversity, regional climate and the global carbon cycle. Deforestation and climate change, via increasing dry-season length and drought...

Amazonia hosts the Earth’s largest tropical forests and has been shown to be an important carbon sink over recent decades. This carbon sink seems to be...

With the increase in intensity and frequency of extreme climate events, interactions between vegetation and local climate are gaining more and more attention. Both the mean temperature and the temperature...

Agroclimatic extremes can be seen as typical supply shifters that, on a par with economic and structural drivers, distort supply, demand, trade, and induce price variability...

This document highlights the importance of knowledge, data and monitoring to facilitate rural climate action and enable rural actors to communicate success along value chains to both consumers...

The need to reduce the expected impact of climate change, finding sustainable ways to maintain or increase the carbon (C) sequestration capacity and productivity of agricultural systems, is one of the most...

Recent accelerated climate change has exacerbated existing environmental problems in the Mediterranean Basin that are caused by the combination of changes in land use, increasing pollution and declining...

The territory of the Central and Eastern European (CEE) countries mostly belongs to the Continental and Pannonian Bio-geographical Regions. Specific and extreme changes in the weather resulting from the very nature of these...
