Sources and Processes Affecting Air Pollution in the Arctic and Northern High Latitudes—A Modelling Study
Model simulations of atmospheric composition on a pan-Arctic domain at 15-km horizontal resolution were carried out for the year 2015 and for summer...

Increasing risks of extreme salt intrusion events across European estuaries in a warming climate
Over the last decade, many estuaries worldwide have faced increased salt intrusion as a result of human activities and a changing climate. Despite...
-
European tree-ring isotopes indicate unusual recent hydroclimate
In recent decades, Europe has experienced more frequent flood and drought events. However, little is known about the long-term, spatiotemporal...

Investigation of the Relationship Between Treeline Migration and Changes in Temperature and Precipitation for the Northern Hemisphere and Sub-regions
Purpose of ReviewNumerous studies have reported that treelines are moving to higher elevations and latitudes over the last few decades. Climate...

The role of Northern Hemisphere summer insolation for millennial-scale climate variability during the penultimate glacial
Previous glacial intervals were punctuated by abrupt climate transitions between cold (stadial) and warm (interstadial) conditions. Many mechanisms...
-
Maximum tree height in European Mountains decreases above a climate-related elevation threshold
Mountain forests face important threats from global change and spatio-temporal variation in tree height can help to monitor these effects. In this...
-
A framework to assess permafrost thaw threat for land transportation infrastructure in northern Canada
Prediction of permafrost stability is associated with challenges, such as data scarcity and climate uncertainties. Here we present a data-driven...
-
Continuous increase in evaporative demand shortened the growing season of European ecosystems in the last decade
Despite previous reports on European growing seasons lengthening due to global warming, evidence shows that this trend has been reversing in the past...
-
Higher vegetation sensitivity to meteorological drought in autumn than spring across European biomes
Europe has experienced severe drought events in recent decades, posing challenges to understand vegetation responses due to diverse vegetation...
-
Climate change impacts on thermal stress in four climatically diverse European cities
The thermal conditions that prevail in cities pose a number of challenges to urban residents and policy makers related to quality of life, health and...

Widespread spring phenology effects on drought recovery of Northern Hemisphere ecosystems
The time required for an ecosystem to recover from severe drought is a key component of ecological resilience. The phenology effects on drought...
-
Autumn canopy senescence has slowed down with global warming since the 1980s in the Northern Hemisphere
Climate change strongly impact vegetation phenology, with considerable potential to alter land-atmosphere carbon dioxide exchange and terrestrial...

A climatology of weather-driven anomalies in European photovoltaic and wind power production
Weather causes extremes in photovoltaic and wind power production. Here we present a comprehensive climatology of anomalies in photovoltaic and wind...
-
Winter snow cover influences growing-season vegetation productivity non-uniformly in the Northern Hemisphere
Ongoing changes in snow cover significantly affect vegetation productivity, but the actual effect of snow cover remains unclear due to a poor...
-
Spaceborne LiDAR reveals the effectiveness of European Protected Areas in conserving forest height and vertical structure
The effectiveness of Protected Areas in conserving forest ecosystems has been examined at the continental scale using area-based habitat parameters,...
-
European beewolf (Philanthus triangulum) will expand its geographic range as a result of climate warming
Climate change is an important driver of the spread of apiary pests and honeybee predators. These impact on one of the economically most important...
-
Climate targets in European timber-producing countries conflict with goals on forest ecosystem services and biodiversity
The European Union (EU) set clear climate change mitigation targets to reach climate neutrality, accounting for forests and their woody biomass...
-
Decreasing rainfall frequency contributes to earlier leaf onset in northern ecosystems
Climate change substantially advances the leaf onset date (LOD) and regulates carbon uptake by plants. Unlike temperature, the effect of...
-
Exceptional atmospheric conditions in June 2023 generated a northwest European marine heatwave which contributed to breaking land temperature records
The Northwest European shelf experienced unprecedented surface temperature anomalies in June 2023 (anomalies up to 5 °C locally, north of Ireland)....

Increased carbon assimilation and efficient water usage may not compensate for carbon loss in European forests
Phenological responses of vegetation to global warming impact ecosystem gross primary production and evapotranspiration. However, high resolution and...
