All nature relies on water, yet climate change threatens water availability to the highest degree-from too much (e.g. extreme weather; flooding) to too little (e.g. droughts; wildfires). These water shifts threaten all life on earth. Societies' safe and reliable water accessibility faces growing...

Flood is one of the most common hazards in many countries, affecting both life and properties. The recent climatic changes have brought a rise in both flood frequency and intensity making this phenomenon more devastating to people. Especially, the riparian communities of Jamalpur along the Jamuna...

There is consensus that the risk of flooding is increasing in many parts of Africa and globally due to climate variability and change-induced extreme weather events. Floods are often considered a necessity by the conservation community in semi-arid regions since they recharge important aquifers and ...

In 2020 and 2021, fish-kills events occurred in the Tiber river in the city of Rome. These events, which caused the death of thousands of fish of different species (e.g., Barbusspp., Cyprinuscarpio, Squaliusspp.), were preceded the days before by severe flash-storms. Heavy rains in urban areas in...

Background and Aims: Understanding shifts in the demographic and functional composition of forests after major natural disturbances has become increasingly relevant given the accelerating rates of climate change and elevated frequency of natural disturbances. Although plant demographic strategies...
