TLDR
This article showed that the uncertainties associated with the projection of climate extremes are mainly due to internal climate variability and that model projections are consistent when averaged across regions, allowing robust projection of future extremes.
Abstract
There are large uncertainties associated with the projection of climate extremes. This study shows that the uncertainties are mainly due to internal climate variability. However, model projections are consistent when averaged across regions, allowing robust projection of future extremes.

Divergent vegetation variation and the response to extreme climate events in the National Nature Reserves in Southwest China, 1961–2019

TL;DR: In this article , the authors analyzed the response of the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) in National Nature Reserves to extreme climate events and found that the NDVI green trend is more obvious in the NNRYGP than in the Hengduan mountain and the Sichuan basin.

Seasonal variability of future extreme precipitation and associated trends across the Contiguous U.S.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors investigated the projected trends (2015-2100) in precipitation climatology and daily extremes using Community Earth System Model Version 2 large ensemble (CESM2-LE) simulations at regional and seasonal scales.

Experimentally induced drought and growing season stage modulate community-level functional traits in a temperate grassland

TL;DR: In this article , the authors measured functional traits on 586 vascular plants in a temperate grassland where precipitation has been experimentally manipulated for six years and compared community-weighted means between three levels of precipitation: drought (−50%), irrigated (+50%), and control.

The Potential to Narrow Uncertainty in Regional Climate Predictions

TL;DR: In this article, a suite of climate models are used to predict changes in surface air temperature on decadal timescales and regional spatial scales, and it is shown that the uncertainty for the next few decades is dominated by model uncertainty and internal variability that are potentially reducible through progress in climate science.

Human contribution to more-intense precipitation extremes

TL;DR: It is shown that human-induced increases in greenhouse gases have contributed to the observed intensification of heavy precipitation events found over approximately two-thirds of data-covered parts of Northern Hemisphere land areas.
