This article reviews current drought effects on environmental systems. It stresses the need
for considering environmental drought as a relevant type to be included in drought …

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 …

This chapter assesses simulations of future global climate change, spanning time horizons
from the near term (2021–2040), mid-term (2041–2060), and long term (2081–2100) out to …

2 Chapter 2 assesses observed large-scale changes in climate system drivers, key climate
indicators and 3 principal modes of variability. Chapter 3 considers model performance and …

Atmospheric vapor pressure deficit (VPD) is a critical variable in determining plant
photosynthesis. Synthesis of four global climate datasets reveals a sharp increase of VPD …

Arid and semi-arid regions of the world are particularly vulnerable to greenhouse gas–
driven hydroclimate change. Climate models are our primary tool for projecting the future …

This study aimed to analyze how meteorological conditions such as temperature, humidity
and rainfall can affect the spread of COVID-19 in five Brazilian (São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro …

Higher evaporative demands and more frequent and persistent dry spells associated with
rising temperatures suggest that drought conditions could worsen in many regions of the …

The vapor pressure deficit reflects the difference between how much moisture the
atmosphere could and actually does hold, a factor that fundamentally affects …

A linker extension strategy for generating metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) with superior
moisture-capturing properties is presented. Applying this design approach involving …
