Highlights Sewage led to complex effects on stream ecosystem functioning.• The contribution of hydrological stress was minor.• Water quality (specifically pharmaceuticals) was related to stream functioning changes. Biofilm-level processes showed more consistent patterns than ecosystem-level ones. These effects will become…...
AbstractGlobal warming causes the poleward shift of the trailing edges of marine ectotherm species distributions. In the semi-enclosed Mediterranean Sea, continental masses and oceanographic barriers do not allow natural connectivity with thermophilic species pools: as trailing edges retreat, a net…...
Animals in tropical and Mediterranean areas are the most sensitive to climate change and land use pressures, finds a new study by University College London (UCL) researchers. The findings, published today in Nature Ecology & Evolution, show how extinction risks…...
Abstract The Mediterranean Sea is a hotspot for climate change, and recent studies have reported its intense warming and salinification. In this study, we use an outstanding dataset relying mostly on glider endurance lines but also on other platforms to…...

3 questions sur... le changement climatique du Bassin Méditerranean Début octobre, les intempéries dans les Alpes Maritimes ont défrayé la chronique. Il s’agissait d’un des plus gros évènements jamais mesuré par météo France en terme de pluies méditerranéennes sur le…...
AbstractClimate change projections over the Mediterranean basin point toward an increase in frequency and intensity of extreme events that will directly impact ecosystems resilience. In this study, we evaluated future trends of soil loss in forestland in Catalonia (NE Spain)…...
