Heat stress risk in European dairy cattle husbandry under different climate change scenarios-uncertainties and potential impacts
(EGU Publications, 2019)
In the last decades, a global warming trend was observed. Along with the temperature increase, modifications in the humidity and wind regime amplify the regional and local impacts on livestock husbandry. Direct impacts ...
A new approach for assessing natural patterns of flow variability and hydrological alterations: The case of the Spanish rivers
(Elsevier, 2019)
