The aridity Index under global warming
Environmental Research Letters, 2019 Aridity is a complex concept that ideally requires a comprehensive assessment of hydroclimatological and hydroecological variables to fully understand anticipated changes. A widely used (offline) impact model to assess projected changes in aridity is the

The 4.2 ka Event and the End of the Maltese “Temple Period”
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022 The small size and relatively challenging environmental conditions of the semi-isolated Maltese archipelago mean that the area offers an important case study of societal change and human-environment interactions.

Nitrogen addition has a minor effect on aridity thresholds for soil nematodes at the global scale
GeodermaSoil nematodes are regulated by soil moisture, with a global aridity threshold identified for total nematode diversity. Nitrogen (N) deposition also influences soil nematodes, but its effect on their aridity threshold remains unclear.

Aridity Trends in Central America: A Spatial Correlation Analysis
Atmosphere, 2020 Trend analyses are common in several types of climate change studies. In many cases, finding evidence that the trends are different from zero in hydroclimate variables is of particular interest.

Predation on sentinel prey increases with increasing latitude in Brassica‐dominated agroecosystems
Ecology and Evolution, 2022 In natural ecosystems, arthropod predation on herbivore prey is higher at lower latitudes, mirroring the latitudinal diversity gradient observed across many taxa.

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Photothermal, macroporous lignin‐based cryogels are engineered to convert sunlight into low‐grade heat. Integrated as stacked beds in a drum‐type device, a thin copper interlayer transfers waste heat between beds, enabling interlayer heat recovery and continuous solar cycling.

Saline and Arid Soils: Impact on Bacteria, Plants, and Their Interaction
Biology, 2020 Salinity and drought are the most important abiotic stresses hampering crop growth and yield. It has been estimated that arid areas cover between 41% and 45% of the total Earth area worldwide.
