70 years of heat waves and summer climate change affecting italian small ruminant populations

HIGHLIGHTS

• What: The aim of this study is to describe the distribution of Italian small ruminant breeds and assess their exposure to the variation in summer environmental conditions occurred over a 70-year period, with the final aim of assisting in the management of the populations most threatened by the climate change. The climate data presented in this study depict a concerning trend of increasing summer temperatures, temperature humidity index (THI), and heat wave (HW) frequency and intensity, particularly over the last three decades; most notably, the authors propose a definition of heatwaves that incorporates THI, a widely . . .
