Understanding dryland dynamics is essential to predict future climate trajectories. However,
there remains large uncertainty on the extent to which drylands are expanding or greening …

Drylands are an essential component of the Earth System and are among the most
vulnerable to climate change. In this Review, we synthesize observational and modelling …

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 …

Droughts of the future are likely to be more frequent, severe, and longer lasting than they
have been in recent decades, but drought risks will be lower if greenhouse gas emissions …

Many fundamental aspects of New York State's climate have already begun to change, and
the changes are projected to continue—and in some cases, accelerate—throughout the 21st …

Drylands, comprising land regions characterized by water-limited, sparse vegetation, have
commonly been projected to expand globally under climate warming. Such projections …
