Summary Drying and drought in tropical forests, which have some of the highest net primary productivity on Earth, are likely to alter root dynamics, ecosystem function, and carbon (C) storage. We used a chronic drying experiment in four lowland Panamanian forests to investigate whether soil drying shifts tropical forest root production from surface to ...

Plant conservation in a changing Mediterranean world
The Mediterranean is one of five climatic regions on the planet characterised by a prolonged summer drought, exceptional plant diversity and high rates of endemism. We provide a framework to link the ecology of plant species conservation in the context of rapid and extreme climate deregulation to a philosophical typology of temporal attitudes (i.e ...

La covariación espacial de la precipitación en la Península Ibérica y su contribución al establecimiento de mecanismos de compensación interterritorial como instrumento de ayuda en la gestión de las sequías [PDF]
La alta covariación que se registra entre las precipitaciones de las distintas cuencas vertientes que componen el territorio peninsular, con la excepción de la vertiente Norte y Noroeste, parece excluir la posibilidad de llevar a cabo mecanismos de ...

Abstract Floods and droughts are becoming increasingly frequent and intense in the Mediterranean region. Nature‐based solutions (NBS) are being put forward as cost‐effective solutions for climate change adaptation to reduce the impacts of floods and droughts and provide multiple other benefits and ecosystem services.
