This study analyses dry‐hot winds, or sukhoviys , a recurrent phenomenon during the warm season across most regions of Ukraine. Sukhoviys promote rapid moisture loss from soil and vegetation, inducing acute stress on crops and intensifying drought effects during critical growth periods. Defining a sukhoviy as an event characterised by air temperature ≥ 25°C, relative humidity ≤ 30% and wind speed ≥ 5 m s −1 , we identified suk...

Precipitation regimes across peninsular Spain have undergone a structural reorganisation toward low‐intensity dominance over the past six decades (1961–2022), driven by redistribution across intensity classes rather than monotonic changes in totals. These findings are derived from a dense observational network of 2096 rain gauges. Rather than focusing solely on precipitation totals or extremes, we introduce a redistribution‐ba...

Background Enhancing water-use efficiency (WUE) is a central requirement for sustainable crop production in Mediterranean-type climates under ongoing warming. Nutrient management can improve photosynthetic performance and water economy, yet two physiologically relevant nutrients, magnesium (Mg 2 + ) and chloride (Cl¯), remain comparatively under-considered in fertilization strategies. Scope We synthesize evidence that Mg 2 + a...

Virtual reality rehabilitation systems often represent actions through virtual limbs. However, previous observation-only studies suggest that frontoparietal networks involved in action observation and execution may also be engaged by simpler virtual effectors. In the present fMRI study, we examined whether the visual presence of a virtual limb modulates brain activity during both action execution and action observation in a vi...

This study provides a comprehensive assessment of long‐term changes in dry‐spell dynamics across Spain for the period 1961–2024, using both classical non‐parametric methods and a novel non‐stationary probabilistic framework applied to exceedance series of dry‐spell durations. Using daily precipitation data from a dense network of quality‐controlled stations, dry‐spells were identified based on four thresholds (0.1, 1, 5, and 1...

Derelict fishing gear can negatively affect marine ecosystems through mortality in coastal environments. This study explored the impact of derelict and active crab pots on recreational blue crab ( Callinectes sapidus ) catch rates and landings in a Mid‐Atlantic estuary by deploying experimental pots in four habitat strata within three sections of Indian River Bay, DE. The observed environmental covariates, including temperatur...

Spain's geographical position and climate characteristics make it highly vulnerable to climate change–driven projected aridity change. This study assesses the projected evolution of climatic aridity across mainland Spain, the Balearic Islands, and the Canary Islands throughout the 21st century. Using the UNEP Aridity Index ( AI = P / ETo ), we analyse an ensemble of high‐resolution CMIP6 simulations under four Shared Socioecon...
