Wildfires increased dramatically in frequency and extent in the European Mediterranean
region from the 1960s, aided by a general warming and drying trend, but driven primarily by …

Abstract The Sierra Nevada of southern Spain is a landscape with a rich biological and
cultural heritage. The range was extensively glaciated during the late Pleistocene. However …

Biological activity could be affected severely by the impact on soil quality of drought, which
can be very severe in Southern areas of Europe. The objective of this work was to assess …

Empirical-statistical downscaling (ESD) is a method for estimating how local climatic

Tree-ring chronologies were examined to investigate the influence of climate on radial
growth of Pinus nigra in southeastern Spain. We addressed whether drought differentially …

Climate change is likely to produce more frequent and longer droughts in the Mediterranean
region, like that of 1994, which produced important changes in the Quercus ilex forests, with …
