Abstract This study uses the results of 28 CMIP5 global climate projections to link regional climate extremes in the Mediterranean region to the global mean annual surface temperature change. It shows that global warming will further increase the existing difference…...

Highlights • Seasonal and spatial features of a biosphere reserve affect the human value domain. • Higher springtime values reflect longer distances traveled to the site in autumn. • The seashore landscape yields a higher value than maquis and conifer…...
Highlights • Climate change will affect wind speed and therefore wind energy production. • In four wind farms in Spain we project variations in wind speed of up to ± 5% • This will imply changes in production ( ±8%) and in…...
