Using simulations from global climate models (RCP4.5 and RCP8.5), we show that summer days with very low PV power outputs are expected to double in the Arabian Peninsula by mid-century but could be reduced by half in southern Europe over the same period, even under a moderate-emission ...
Changes in winter and spring temperatures have been widely used to explain the diverse responses of spring phenology to climate change. However, few studies have quantified their respective effects. Using 386,320 in situ observations of leaf unfolding date (LUD) of six tree species in Europe, ...
Africa, this prolonged heatwave has raised significant threats for residents and has strained the cities’ mechanisms for protection and climatemitigation. As the heatwaves expose the vulnerabilities of urban infrastructures, cities across Europe are striving to implement measures to address these ...

Climate change-related increases in air temperature can result in prolonged frost-free periods, consequently increasing the length of growing seasons for agricultural crops in Europe [2]. However, the limited water availability concurrent with the high temperature is expected to strain plant growth [3...
