This review examines the role of the atmospheric evaporative demand (AED) in drought.
AED is a complex concept and here we discuss possible AED definitions, the subsequent …

Extreme weather increases the risk of large-scale crop failure. The mechanisms involved are
complex and intertwined, hence undermining the identification of simple adaptation levers to …

Droughts have destructive impacts on agricultural production; thus, drought projections are
vital for the development of future drought mitigation strategies. This work aimed to project a …

An increase in global warming has resulted in a global increase in meteorological droughts.
As droughts play a key factor regulating vegetation growth, they inevitably have social and …

Drought events are of great importance in most Mediterranean climate regions because of
the diverse and costly impacts they have in various economic sectors and on the …

The response of agricultural productivity anomalies to drought stress plays a crucial role in
the carbon cycle within terrestrial ecosystems and in ensuring food security. However …

Drought is a devastating natural hazard posing great threats to agriculture. Identifying the
spatial pattern of agricultural sensitivity to drought can provide scientific information for …

Climate change increases the need for better insurance solutions that enable farmers to
cope with drought risks. We design weather index insurance using drought indices based on …

Flash droughts are characterized by rapid onset and intensification, as well as major
environmental and agricultural impacts. In this study, we developed an objective method for …

In the context of global warming and human interventions, the impact of climate on crop yield
may change over time. Therefore, assessing the dynamics of drought thresholds that trigger …
