Coastal living countries are the frontline of climate change impacts presenting vulnerability to natural disasters and other climate hazards. Specially, in developing countries, there is greater vulnerability and environmental ...

Several authors have argued that forest ecosystems serve as a hedge against extreme climatic events at a local scale. Consequently, the local climate regulation ecosystem services provided by forests can be economically ...

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) predicts an increase in global temperatures by the early 2030s, exacerbating regional climate shifts and extreme weather events beyond initial forecasts. This paper ...

This paper documents the main features of climate and climate variability across the Monte Desert for the Last Glacial Maximum, the Glacial-Interglacial transition, and the Holocene on the basis of proxy records and for ...

Brazil suffers yearly from extreme weather and climate events, which can be exacerbated in a warmer climate. Although several studies have analyzed the projections of climate change in Brazil, little attention has been ...

Climate is a global system whose subsystems interact complexly. Deterministic models are capable of describing the climate phenomena with physical detail around the globe. Nonetheless, the several concurrent global climate ...

Climate change impact in the Andes regions is expected to have a large influence on water resources as in many other regions of the world. However, a major problem for climate change impact studies on the region is the ...

Functional traits determine an organism's performance in a given environment and as such determine which organisms will be found where. Species respond to local conditions, but also to larger scale gradients, such as ...
