Abstract
The climate of Europe has been changing
along similar lines to that of the globe as a
whole, with warming of 0.9 °C being experienced
over the period 1901–2005 (Alcamo
et al., 2007). Though future changes in rainfall
to be expected as a result of continued warming
are subject to large uncertainties, mean
rainfall intensity is expected to increase significantly
across the continent, irrespective
of local changes in annual or seasonal receipt
(Giorgi et al., 2004). Of more significance for
soil processes and soil hydrology is the substantially
increased likelihood of extreme precipitation
events.
