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 ...
Reconciling global-model estimates and country reporting of anthropogenic forest CO 2 sinks
(Springer, 2018)
Achieving the long-term temperature goal of the Paris Agreement requires forest-based mitigation. Collective progress towards this goal will be assessed by the Paris Agreement s Global stocktake. At present, there is a ...
