"Contrary to the prevailing focus on ecological mechanisms, [in 2050] extreme weather events emerge as the primary driver of increased risk, accounting for 79% (50–94%) of additional cases and 93% (70–100%) of additional deaths."

"Forest loss intensifies meteorological drought in more than half of Earth’s climate zones"

Averages “Arctic greening”, permafrost thaw & shifting species ranges miss "a critical dimension: extreme events".
Beyond averages: Why Arctic extremes matter
Arctic extremes—not only gradual trends—are reshaping ecosystems. Sustained monitoring is vital to detect, understand, and respond to these transformative events.

Years of extreme droughts lower plant growth in grasslands and shrublands. "This study adds to growing evidence that future climate extremes will likely affect ecosystems in new and concerning ways."

It also shows that ecosystems with a greater variety of plants
Drought intensity and duration interact to magnify losses in primary productivity
As droughts become longer and more intense, impacts on terrestrial primary productivity are expected to increase progressively. Yet, some ecosystems appear to acclimate to multiyear drought, with cons...

"Although the well-documented effect of El Niño events is to decrease summer rainfall [in India], it also paradoxically intensifies extreme daily precipitation amounts, thereby resulting in hazardous conditions across the region."
