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 …

Seeing roots from space: aboveground fingerprints of root depth in vegetation sensitivity to climate in dry biomes.
With predicted climate change, drylands are set to get warmer and drier, increasing water stress for the vegetation in these regions. Plant sensitivity to drier periods and drought events will largely depend on trait strategies to access and store water, often linked to the root system. However, understanding the role... -

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 …

Colombia’s bioregions as a source of useful plants.
The aim of our study was to assess the importance of different Colombian bioregions in terms of the supply of useful plant species and the quality of the available distribution data. We assembled a dataset of georeferenced collection localities of all vascular plants of Colombia available from global and local... -

Drymaria veliziae (Caryophyllaceae), a new species from the Andes of Cajamarca (North Peru)
A new species from the Northern Peruvian Andes (Cajamarca department), Drymaria veliziaesp. nov., is proposed in the present paper. It grows in the high-elevation montane grasslands and it is morphologically similar to D. auriculipetala from which it differs in having elliptic-ovate leaves, blade margin bases glandular, large number of stipules...Montesinos-Tubée, Daniel B. ; Tovar, Carolina ; Iberico-Vela, Gustavo ; Montoya-Quino, Juan ; Sanchez-Vega, Isidoro

Potential adaptive strategies for 29 sub-Saharan crops under future climate change
Climate change is expected to severely impact cultivated plants and consequently human livelihoods, especially in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Increasing agricultural plant diversity (agrobiodiversity) could overcome this global challenge given more information on the climatic tolerance of crops and their wild relatives. Using >200,000 worldwide occurrence records for 29 major crops...
