Panta Rhei benchmark dataset: socio-hydrological data of paired events of floods and droughts.
Abstract. As the adverse impacts of hydrological extremes increase in many regions of the world, a better understanding of the drivers of changes in risk and impacts is essential for effective flood and drought risk management and climate adaptation. However, there is currently a lack of comprehensive, empirical data about...Kreibich, Heidi ; Schröter, Kai ; Di Baldassarre, Giuliano ; Van Loon, Anne F. ; Mazzoleni, Maurizio …

The challenge of unprecedented floods and droughts in risk management.
Risk management has reduced vulnerability to floods and droughts globally , yet their impacts are still increasing . An improved understanding of the causes of changing impacts is therefore needed, but has been hampered by a lack of empirical data . On the basis of a global dataset of 45...Kreibich, Heidi ; Van Loon, Anne F. ; Schröter, Kai ; Ward, Philip J. ; Mazzoleni, Maurizio …

Thermal niche traits of high alpine plant species and communities across the tropical Andes and their vulnerability to global warming
Aim The climate variability hypothesis (CVH) predicts that locations with reduced seasonal temperature variation select for species with narrower thermal ranges. Here we (a) test the CVH by assessing the effect of latitude and elevation on the thermal ranges of Andean vascular plant species and communities, and (b) assess tropical...Cuesta, Francisco ; Tovar, Carolina ; Llambí, Luis D. ; Gosling, William D. ; Halloy, Stephan …
