A sensitivity analysis of the responses of crops to the chosen production adaptation options under regional climate change was conducted in this study. Projections of winter wheat production for different sowing dates and cultivars were estimated for a major economic and agricultural province of China from 2021 to 2080 using the World Food Study model (WOFOST) under representative concentration...

Hydrological assessment is critical to the successful implementation of adaption measures. In this study, projections of seven global circulation models (GCMs) associated with high and medium–low Representative Concentration Pathways (RCP 8.5 and RCP 4.5) for the period 2021–2040 and 2081–2100 were adopted to assess changes on runoffs in the Gilgel Abbay watershed, the upper Blue Nile basin. A ...

The planet is predicted to become drier because of accelerating global warming, increasing great challenges the survival terrestrial species. However, understanding when and where aridity in future will lead abrupt biodiversity loss still limited. Here, we spatiotemporal dynamics vertebrate driven by at assemblage scale under scenario framework shared socio-economic pathways (SSPs) representati...

Aridity conditions in semi-arid lands with warm climates are key variables that must be assessed to properly manage water and plan minimise the threat of desertification. This study analyses spatial distribution aridity Extremadura, southwestern Spain, using De Martonne index (IDM), considering a historical reference period (1971–2005) three-time intervals: 2006–2035 (near future), 2036–2065 (m...

To support the development of national adaptation policies and measures addressing climate change impacts over Italy, this work aims to analyze projected changes in mean temperatures precipitations, extreme events such as droughts floods, highlighting some local trends different Italian regions that have been little considered date. The investigations are made on basis a set high-resolution Eur...

Simulations of crop yield due to climate change vary widely between models, locations, species, management strategies, and Representative Concentration Pathways (RCPs). To understand how adaptation affects change, we developed a meta-model based on 8703 site-level process-model simulations with different future strategies scenarios for maize, rice, wheat soybean. We tested 10 statistical includ...

The (CGG)n-repeat in the 5'-untranslated region of the fragile X mental retardation gene (FMR1) gene is polymorphic and may become unstable on transmission to the next generation. In fragile X syndrome, CGG repeat lengths exceed 200, resulting in silencing of FMR1 and absence of its protein product, fragile X mental retardation protein (FMRP). CGG repeat lengths between 55 and 200 occur in frag...

Climate change has been projected to impact negatively on African agricultural systems. However, there is still an insufficient understanding of the possible effects climate crop yields in Africa. In this study, a previously calibrated Environmental Policy Integrated (EPIC) model was used assess future maize (Zea mays L.) yield Eastern Cape Province South The study aimed compare obtained from E...

Abstract. This paper aims to study wet–cold compound events (WCCEs) in Greece for the wet and cold season November–April since these may affect directly human activities short or longer periods, as no similar research has been conducted country studying past future development of events. WCCEs are divided into two different daily events, maximum temperature– (TX) accumulated precipitation (RR) ...
