Extreme heat, drought and moisture excess are increasingly co-occurring within a single
growing season, impacting crop yields in global breadbasket regions. In this Review, we …

Compound droughts and hot events or extremes (CDHEs) may lead to larger repercussions
than do individual extremes. Due to the disastrous impacts and increased risk of these …

Increases in concurrent climate extremes in different parts of the world threaten the
ecosystem and our society. However, spatial patterns of these extremes and their past and …

Simultaneous harvest failures across major crop-producing regions are a threat to global
food security. Concurrent weather extremes driven by a strongly meandering jet stream …

Societally relevant weather impacts typically result from compound events, which are rare
combinations of weather and climate drivers. Focussing on four event types arising from …

Climate change is drastically altering the frequency, duration, and severity of compound
drought‐heatwave (CDHW) episodes, which present a new challenge in environmental and …

Owing to amplified impacts on human society and ecosystems, compound events (or
extremes) have attracted ample attention in recent decades. China is particularly vulnerable …

That climate variability and change can potentially force multiple simultaneous breadbasket
crop yield shocks has been established. But research quantifying the mechanisms behind …

Compound dry and hot events or extremes (CDHEs) can cause reduced crop yield, posing
threat to food security. Their impacts can be even higher than their univariate counterparts …

Droughts, hot extremes, and their combinations (ie, compound dry and hot extremes,
CDHEs) may pose threats to ecosystems and human society under global warming. The …
