We find that exposure to only one extreme weather type—fires—has a small but significant effect on acknowledging the existence of climate change and supporting the need for action. However, that impact quickly vanishes, and other types of extreme weather do not appea...
However, weather not only impacts the quantity produced, but also the quality of the product. Due to data limitations, the quality effects have primarily been studied using lab experiments for specific attributes, and the financial implications for farmers of a quality effect are less clear. Using...
Extreme weather events lead to significant adverse societal costs. Extreme Event Attribution (EEA), a methodology that examines how anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions had changed the occurrence of specific extreme weather events, allows us to quantif
We find that extreme weather disasters have the largest negative effect on LS within the first six months after their occurrence and that their impact decays with time. Interestingly, considering a longer time frame of 18 months (which has been used in previous studies) would lead to ...
Effects of increased temperature, drought and nitrogen supply on two upland perennials of contrasting functional type: Calluna vulgaris and Pt...

Extreme weather has fascinated and frightened humankind for millennia. But while most of us cower in fear when confronted by extreme flooding, hailstones, or a hurricane, some brave souls can’t resist reaching for the camera. Thanks to these fearless photographers, we’ve been able to compile...
C. Exposure to polluted air may cause cancer. D. Less attention has been paid to the effect of humidity. E. Heat stress makes it harder to forecast the weather.【2】What’s the harm of high body temperature? F. Sweating a lot. G. Damaging organs. . Causing heart-attack. . Leading ...
Such situations may also cause stress for the animals, potentially affecting their ability to cope with infectious agents (Hicks et al., 1998). Last, extreme weather events may also make access to farms difficult or impractical, changing the risk of an outbreak in a farm. Our hypothesis is ...
Many studies have focused on the impacts of mean, long-term changes in climate on biodiversity, disregarding the effects of extreme weather events5,9,12,65. Our study shows that, while forecasted mean fledging success was found not to suffer significant changes in the estimated average temperature...
Weather events such as those described earlier have immediate consequences on many aspects of human health but the aftermath of drought, fires, and floods also threaten our well-being. By destruction of crops and infrastructure, food supplies are affected and infectious diseases become a threat. Per...
