Heatwave predicts a shady future for insects: impacts of an extreme weather event on a chalk grassland in Bedfordshire, UKClimate changeLepidopteraMicroclimateRefugiaTopographic manipulationClimate change is set to become one of the leading causes of biodiversity loss worldwide, with extreme weather ...
With increasingly intense marine heatwaves affecting nearshore regions, foundation species are coming under increasing stress. To better understand their impacts, we examine responses of critical, habitat-forming foundation species (macroalgae, seagrass, corals) to marine heatwaves in 1322 shallow coastal ...
regional heatwave events were identified per year. The temporal distribution pattern of the emergence of heatwaves was multimodal, with peaks arising as a result of high-amplitude heat episodes (Fig.1a, left panel). The case of 2010 is particularly illustrative, with a large heatwave sweeping the...
specifically on wind energy systems (WES), which are particularly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change and the increasing frequency of EWEs (Fernández-Alvarez et al.,2023; IPCC,2022b; Nogueira et al.,2019; Tobin et al.,2018). Wind resources are extremely sensitive and dependent...
the oceans literally growing because of the increase in water temperature. According to the report, over half of the ocean area on Earth experienced at least one marine heatwave this year. In contrast, only a little over one-fifth of the ocean sur...
In the past decades, climate change has been impacting human lives and health via extreme weather and climate events and alterations in labour capacity, food security, and the prevalence and geographical distribution of infectious diseases across the glo

the regional effects of climate change. The cover image — Chicago during the July 1995 heatwave — highlights one potential risk. Patzet al. consider the available evidence and suggest that climate warming already contributes to ill health and thousands of premature deaths across the world, and ...
Climate change is affecting grape yield, composition and wine quality. As a result, the geography of wine production is changing. In this Review, we discuss the consequences of changing temperature, precipitation, humidity, radiation and CO2 on global wi
driven by additive effects of local and large-scale processes within the tidal basins. Such changes have already been observed, resulting in contrasting trends in tidal range for 70 North Sea tide gauges between the UK (− 1.0 mm yr−1) and the German Bight (3.3 mm yr−1) since ...
