Drought is one of the most difficult natural hazards to quantify and is divided into categories
(meteorological, agricultural, ecological and hydrological), which makes assessing recent …

Past global climate changes had strong regional expression. To elucidate their spatio-
temporal pattern, we reconstructed past temperatures for seven continental-scale regions …

Reproducible climate reconstructions of the Common Era (1 CE to present) are key to
placing industrial-era warming into the context of natural climatic variability. Here we present …

Global temperatures are known to have varied over the past 1500 years, but the spatial
patterns have remained poorly defined. We used a global climate proxy network to …

Abstract The Little Ice Age (LIA), which lasted from about 1250 to 1860 AD, was likely the
coldest period of the last 8000 years. Using new documentary data and analyses of alpine …

Understanding the influence of solar variability on the Earth's climate requires knowledge of
solar variability, solar‐terrestrial interactions, and the mechanisms determining the response …

The genus Quercus is among the most widespread and species‐rich tree genera in the
northern hemisphere. The extraordinary species diversity in America and Asia together with …

Start Analyzing a Wide Range of Problems Since the publication of the bestselling, highly
recommended first edition, R has considerably expanded both in popularity and in the …

Current predictions on species responses to climate change strongly rely on projecting
altered environmental conditions on species distributions. However, it is increasingly …

The last 6000years are of particular interest to the understanding of the Earth System
because the boundary conditions of the climate system did not change dramatically (in …
