Soil erosion is a critical environmental problem throughout the world's terrestrial
ecosystems. Erosion inflicts multiple, serious damages in managed ecosystems such as …

The objective of this paper is to synthesize the large literature recording changing patterns of
precipitation in the observed data, thus indicating that climate change is already a reality …

Observed climate change and variability (for definitions, see the IPCC Glossary, Appendix I)
are considered in this chapter by addressing seven commonly asked questions related to …

An extensive evaluation of 10 different satellite rainfall products was performed using station
network over a complex topography, where elevation varies from below sea level to 4620 m …

Precipitation trend analysis, on different spatial and temporal scales, has been of great

ABSTRACT The Iberian Peninsula precipitation and river flow regimes are characterized by
large values of inter-annual variability, with large disparities between wet and dry years …

Forest ecosystems in the Mediterranean Basin are mostly situated in the north of the Basin
