Precipitation scenarios in the Central-Western Mediterranean basin
the precipitation amount and this
reduction is stronger at lower latitudes.
iv) The evaluation of De Martonne's
index suggests an expansion of soil
aridity in the future, above all in the
southern areas of the basin where there
is a serious risk of desertification.
