a and b, spatial patterns of the difference in recovery time between hot-dry and dry events (ΔRT = RT hot-dry-RT dry) based on the NDVI and LAI, respectively. c and d, ΔRT under different aridity ...

CLIMATEWIRE | Heat waves and coastal floods are intensifying around the world as global temperatures rise and sea levels swell. These disasters are dangerous when they occur on their own — and even ...
