From Rare to Recurrent: Intensifying Hot–Dry Extremes Across Romania
Romania has undergone a marked shift toward more frequent and spatially extensive compound hot–dry months since the 1990s, with persistent hotspots in the eastern Moldavian Plateau and the lower Danube–Bărăgan–Black Sea lowlands and comparatively buffered conditions at higher elevations.

Annual and Seasonal Rainfall Variability in Mozambique During the Nineteenth Century
This paper presents the first annually and seasonally resolved reconstructions of nineteenth‐century rainfall variability for Mozambique derived from the analysis of extensive documentary evidence. It reveals spatially heterogeneous rainfall patterns with recurrent multi‐year droughts, episodic extreme wet events, and a strong coherence between ...

ENSO or the Atlantic: Which Actually Governs the Hydrological Vulnerability of the Caatinga?
This study challenges the traditional ENSO‐centric paradigm of rainfall variability in the Caatinga by demonstrating that the Tropical Atlantic exerts a statistically dominant influence on regional hydrological vulnerability. Using a seasonal ARX/HAC model and CHIRPS data, we establish a new hierarchy of climatic drivers across six rainfall districts ...

ABSTRACT Background Understanding the relative importance of climatic, edaphic, and management controls on soil organic carbon (SOC) is essential for improving SOC prediction and land management in data‐scarce agroecosystems. Aim This study quantified SOC drivers across Southern African agroecosystems using 655 observations covering climatic variables,
