Economic Growth Vulnerability Across Euro Area Countries
ABSTRACT We analyse growth vulnerability in the four largest Euro Area (EA) economies, measured as a lower quantile of the growth distribution conditional on EA‐wide and country‐specific macroeconomic/financial factors. Growth densities are obtained under a normal activity scenario and under stressed conditions.

Drought resistance is influenced by soil water uptake depth in dryland shrubs
Higher drought resistance was associated with shifts from shallow to deep soil water uptake under drier conditions, with both covarying with functional traits in drylands. Abstract Climate change exacerbates aridity in dry shrublands leading to different responses of coexisting shrubs to drought, including different resistance (capacity to sustain ...
