Abstract The Regional Atmospheric Modelling System (RAMS) driven by data from the CMIP5 Earth Model HadGEM2‐ES was used to simulate daily precipitation over tropical Americas for both current and future climate, including distinct scenarios (representative concentration pathways 4.5 8.5) different time horizons (short‐term, mid‐term long‐term changes). major objective evaluate possible changes ...

The aim of this article is to explore ways of increasing agricultural productivity in Zimbabwe in the face of the increasingly uncertain climatic conditions. Agriculture has remained crucial to economic growth in Zimbabwe while it is mainly rain-fed. The total seasonal rainfall amounts are not indicating any significant trend (increasing or decreasing) with time. Changes are only noticed in the...

Abstract Tropical forests are characterized by vast biomass, complex structures and mega-biodiversity. However, the adaptation processes of these to seasonal water availability less understood, especially those located in monsoonal mountainous regions tropical Southeast Asia. This study used four representative spanning from 2° N 22° continental Asia address dry-condition photosynthesis at scal...

The paper summarises activities within a broad-based research program for the reconstruction of the evolution of Italian climate in the twentieth century. The main result of the program is that Italian climate is becoming warmer and drier with an increase of both heavy precipitation events and long dry spells. Most of the observed signals appear to be due to changes in atmospheric circulation c...
