Asynchronous exposure to global warming: freshwater resources and terrestrial ecosystems

Asynchronous exposure to global warming: freshwater resources and terrestrial ecosystems

This modelling study demonstrates at what level of global mean temperature rise (Δ T _g ) regions will be exposed to significant decreases of freshwater availability and changes to terrestrial ecosystems. Projections are based on a new, consistent set of 152 climate scenarios (eight Δ T _g trajector...
