In hotter regions, asphalt can be designed with cooling agents to prevent excessive heat buildup, which can lead to deformation. This adaptability ensures that asphalt roads remain functional and safe regardless of climatic challenges, providing reliable infrastructure for users. Safety Features Safety i...
Regions We must take care when the spatial scale assessed is appropriate—for climatic extremes, results can differ vastly between spatial scales. Information about localised extremes can be found in individual station datasets, but this information is not available globally, and stations differ in qua...

Climate warming induces shifts from snow to rain in cold regions1, altering snowpack dynamics with consequent impacts on streamflow that raise challenges to many aspects of ecosystem services2,3,4. A straightforward conceptual model states that as the fraction of precipitation falling as snow (snowfal...
Variety of microclimates and regions:Italy’s elongated shape, stretching from the cool Alpine north to the warm Mediterranean south, provides a plethora of microclimates. Each wine region, from Piedmont and Veneto in the north to Sicily in the south, offers different climatic conditions, allowing...
While the importance of the societal and economic impacts of extreme climatic events is undeniable, the study of climate extremes (particularly on a global scale) is still in its infancy. Indeed, the first assessment by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in the early 1990s did...
Paleoecological studies have shown that plant communities have changed through time under the action of Holocene climatic changes and fire. Glacial-interglacial alternation has deeply modified the Pantepui biota and this biogeographical unit has been recurrently disassembled during glaciations and ...
Therefore, university or public research laboratories in the field of biochemistry or molecular biology would be a good starting point for transferring many of the science-intensive adaptation technologies to the regions in need of such skills and knowledge (Adenle et al., 2015). In engineering-...
In this Review, temperature trends in mountainous regions around the world and the mechanisms that contribute to elevation-dependent warming are discussed. There is growing evidence that the rate of warming is amplified with elevation, such that high-mou
However, there are forest regions, such as west of the Albertine Rift, which did not recently experience novelty in certain climate variables despite long-term changes occurring, suggesting that interannual variability confers resilience to changing climate conditions in some areas. Conclusions Tropical ...
