“…For these reasons, EVT is the approach that has been chosen in this research due to its wide applicability in different fields that are related to extreme weather and climate events and their impact: ecology (Moritz, 1997;Meehl et al, 2000;Dixon et al, 2005;Katz et al, 2005;Jentsch et al, 2007;Burgman et al, 2012); extreme temperatures and heat waves (Meehl and Tebaldi, 2004;Della-Marta et al, 2007;Parey et al, 2007;García-Cueto et al, 2010;Waylen et al, 2012;Tanarhte et al, 2015;Liu et al, 2015;; extreme rainfall (Katz et al, 2002;Koutsoyiannis, 2004;Friederichs, 2010;Papalexiou and Koutsoyiannis, 2013;Kim et al, 2015;Boucefiane and Meddi, 2019); and damages to the communities that affect agroecosystems through changes in soil moisture and evapotranspiration rates (Miralles et al, 2014;Whan et al, 2015;Guan et al, 2015;Hatfield and Prueger, 2015).…”
