Expected climate change estimations for the Carpathian basin and especially, Hungary, are summarized for the 2071-2100 period on the basis of the results from the project PRUDENCE. Different regional climate models (RCMs) used 50 km as the horizontal spatial resolution, and evaluated the A2 and B2 global emission scenarios. Results suggest that in case of temperature, a warming trend is evident...

The objective of this study is to analyze the prospective low water flows N'zo-Sassandra River located in West Ivory Coast. hydroclimatic data used (rainfall, ETP, flow) extend on one hand over historical period (1961-2017) and other future 2071-2100 (CORDEX data). methodological approach adopted based analysis past flows, climate hydrological analysis. impact variable annual minimum monthly me...

In order to increase water productivity at the Collective Irrigation System (CIS) level it is crucial adapt existing irrigation infrastructure, enhancing intake source, as well its transport and delivery efficiency. Rehabilitation may involve structural changes thus, a large capital investment. This investment should be proportionate in climate resilience associated different rehabilitation alt...

Wildfires are a major problem in Portugal. Since 1980 an area equivalent to 3/5 of the forested surface has burned. The aim of the study was to assess the potential impact of regional climate change on wildfires in Portugal using an appropriate Burnt Area Model (BAM). Based on multiple regression analysis, the model was able to estimate the decimal logarithm of the monthly burnt areas in July a...

The grapevine (Vitis vinifera) is widely cultivated for the production of wine and other commodities. Wine globally traded, with an annual market value approximately USD 4 billion in Portugal alone. However, climate change expected to profoundly alter regional temperature precipitation regimes across Iberian Peninsula and, thus, continental Portugal, potentially threatening impact viticulture. ...

Bioclimate alteration unquestionably poses a current but also potential future threat to natural and agricultural ecosystems their services. In this scope, the present bioclimatic footprint of Central European territory is investigated presented. For first time, an ultrahigh spatial resolution (<250 m) de Martonne index analyzed over entire area, as well for individual countries (Austria, Sw...

In this study, the present bioclimatic conditions and estimated changes of bioclimate over natural agricultural areas Adriatic territory (Albania, Bosnia Herzegovina, Croatia, Italy, Montenegro, Slovenia) are analysed presented. For purpose, a survey on De Martonne’s categories’ spatial distribution entire examined area individual countries is conducted for reference period (1981–2010) three mo...

The aim of the study is to quantify climate induced health risks for Germany. Based on high resolution climate scenarios for the period 2071 to 2100 we forecast the number of days with heat load and cold stress. The heat frequency and intensity rise overall but more in the south. Referring to empirical studies on heat induced health effects we estimate an average increase in the number of heat ...
