Significance Using 21st century climate model projections we show that for many crop-producing regions, average precipitation will change by more than the long-term natural variability, even under a low-emission scenario. However, emissions compatible with the Paris Agreement can significantly reduce…...
Highlights Forest management in the Mediterranean basin is challenging in a warming world. Scientific studies provide evidence on the short-term benefits of management. The implications of management for long-term resilience have been seldom assessed. Management for short-term benefits frequently has…...
Abstract Atmospheric carbon dioxide enrichment alters seawater carbonate chemistry, thus threatening calcifying organisms such as corals. Coral populations at carbon dioxide vents are natural acidification experiments that mimic organism responses to seawater pH values projected for 2100. Even if demographic…...
Highlights Mediterranean wood-pastures are threatened by shrub encroachment and climate change. We used a water balance model to evaluate drought exposure under current a future climate. Encroached plots had more extended droughts and higher usage of deep water than control…...
Description Sustainable Food and Agriculture: An Integrated Approach is the first book to look at the imminent threats to sustainable food security through a cross-sectoral lens. As the world faces food supply challenges posed by the declining growth rate of…...
