In a growing population, producing enough food has become a challenge in the face of the dramatic increase in climate change. Plants, during their evolution as sessile organisms, developed countless mechanisms to better adapt to the environment and i...
Extremal dependence or independence may occur among the components of univariate or bivariate random vectors. Assessing which asymptotic regime occurs and also its extent are crucial tasks when such vectors are used as statistical models for risk ass...
When conducting an analysis of nature’s time series, such as meteorological ones, an important matter is a long-range dependence to quantify the global behavior of the series and connect it with other physical characteristics of the region of study....
Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris), traditionally considered a drought-tolerant species, is increasingly threatened by climatic stress and the opportunistic pathogen Diplodia sapinea in Central Europe. Using linear mixed models, this study investigated th...
The Jordan Valley is a heavily modified, data-limited transboundary river basin where water availability is constrained by both climate conditions and intensive human intervention. This study applies an integrated hydrological and hydrogeochemical mo...
Climate change is occurring at an unprecedented rate and has begun to modify the distribution and phenology of organisms worldwide. Chelonians are expected to be particularly vulnerable due to limited dispersal capabilities as well as widespread temp...
Water stands as a crucial component of agricultural production. This study aims to propose water efficiency measures in agriculture as an essential element for climate change adaptation. In this study, yield losses in staple crops in agricultural reg...
Plant phenology is closely related to plant function, ecosystem services, and climate balance. Solar-induced chlorophyll fluorescence (SIF) offers new perspectives on plant phenology at regional and global scales. However, the effect of SIF products...
