Quantifying rates of climate change in mountain regions is of considerable interest, not least
because mountains are viewed as climate “hotspots” where change can anticipate or …

Mediterranean areas of both southern Europe and North Africa are subject to dramatic
changes that will affect the sustainability, quantity, quality, and management of water …

In mountainous regions, climate warming is expected to shift species' ranges to higher
altitudes. Evidence for such shifts is still mostly from revisitations of historical sites. We …

Previous research has identified the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) as one of the dominant
atmospheric patterns on the temporal evolution of precipitation and temperature in the …

In this study the climatic and hydrological trends across 88 sub-basins of the Ebro River
basin were analyzed for the period 1950–2006. A new database of climate information and …

Streamflows in a Mediterranean mountain basin in the central Spanish Pyrenees were
projected under various climate and land use change scenarios. Streamflow series …

Aim Species distribution models have been used frequently to assess the effects of climate
change on mountain biodiversity. However, the value and accuracy of these assessments …

Satellite remote sensing is a power tool for the long-term monitoring of vegetation. This work,
with reference to a regional case study, investigates remote sensing potentialities for …

In this study, snowpack series are modeled across the Pyrenees using data derived from the
HIRHAM Regional Climate Model for both the control period (1960–1990) and two emission …

High-mountain ecosystems are increasingly threatened by climate change, causing
biodiversity loss, habitat degradation and landscape modifications. However, very few …
