TL;DR: In this article, the authors used an enormous systematic phenological network data set of more than 125 000 observational series of 542 plant and 19 animal species in 21 European countries (1971-2000) and concluded that previously published results of phenological changes were not biased by reporting or publication predisposition.

TL;DR: Whether changes in the start, end, and length of the growing season differ among four deciduous broad-leaved tree species and countries, how the changes are related to temperature changes, and what might be the confounding effects of an insect attack are studied.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present 60 priority questions for optimizing future drought research, including monitoring, impacts, forecasting, climatology, adaptation, and planning and policy, highlighting the increasingly important role of remote sensing techniques in drought monitoring, importance of drought forecasting and understanding the relationships between drought parameters and drought impacts but also challenges of drought adaptation and preparedness policies.

TL;DR: The contribution of the agricultural sector to the GDP of EU-25 was around 1.6% in 2004 as mentioned in this paper, and the contribution may be substantial, particularly in southern and central European countries where agriculture represents a more significant sector for employment and GDP.

TL;DR: In this article, the main aim of the paper was to catalogue and analyze the drought impacts in the 11 Central and South Eastern European states located in the Danube river basin, where the identification of dry episodes was based on information from publicly available sources, namely, newspaper and journal articles that reported drought impacts.
