In total, 21 sites in 9 mountain rivers in the centre of Spain (between the latitudes of 40°18' and 41°21' N). Sites are located in the Tormes River and its tributaries, the Barbellido River, the Gredos Gorge and the Aravalle River (in the Duero Basin); the Cega River and the Pirón River (the Pirón River is a tributary of the Cega River in the larger Duero Basin); the Tagus River, the Gallo River, and the Cabrillas River (all four of which are in the Tagus Basin). At each study site, water temperatures were recorded every 2 h throughout the year using 31 Hobo Water Temperature Pro v2 (Onset) and Vemco® Minilog data loggers. Loggers were tested for malfunctions before being deployed and were placed at bottom of the streams avoiding direct solar radiation . Depth -these are shallow streams- and position in the stream section were not relevant as it was verified.

Spain ES: Droughts, Floods, Extreme Temperatures: Average 1990-2009: % of Population data remains active status in CEIC and is reported by World Bank. The data is categorized under Global Database’s Spain – Table ES.World Bank.WDI: Land Use, Protected Areas and National Wealth. Droughts, floods and extreme temperatures is the annual average percentage of the population that is affected by natural disasters classified as either droughts, floods, or extreme temperature events. A drought is an extended period of time characterized by a deficiency in a region's water supply that is the result of constantly below average precipitation. A drought can lead to losses to agriculture, affect inland navigation and hydropower plants, and cause a lack of drinking water and famine. A flood is a significant rise of water level in a stream, lake, reservoir or coastal region. Extreme temperature events are either cold waves or heat waves. A cold wave can be both a prolonged period of excessively cold weather and the sudden invasion of very cold air over a large area. Along with frost it can cause damage to agriculture, infrastructure, and property. A heat wave is a prolonged period of excessively hot and sometimes also humid weather relative to normal climate patterns of a certain region. Population affected is the number of people injured, left homeless or requiring immediate assistance during a period of emergency resulting from a natural disaster; it can also include displaced or evacuated people. Average percentage of population affected is calculated by dividing the sum of total affected for the period stated by the sum of the annual population figures for the period stated.; ; EM-DAT: The OFDA/CRED International Disaster Database: www.emdat.be, Université Catholique de Louvain, Brussels (Belgium), World Bank.; ;

Aim: Animal communities around the world are responding to climate change by altering their taxonomic composition, mainly through an increase in the colonisation rate of warm-dwelling species and the local extinction of cold-dwelling ones. We assessed whether the taxonomic composition of bird assemblages in peninsular Spain has changed in accordance with the recent increase in temperature. We also evaluated the role of species' thermal affinities and population dynamics in these changes. Location: Peninsular Spain. Taxon: Birds. Methods: We compared assemblages reported in the last Spanish breeding bird atlases (1998–2002 vs 2014–2019) in 10x10 km squares. We described species’ thermal niches by overlaying global species breeding distributions and world temperature metrics (based on mean, minimum, maximum and range), and then aggregated them to obtain a set of community thermal indices for each assemblage (CTIs, and CTR for ranges). Long-term average temperatures and local current tempe..., The dataset is a dataframe that comprises the Community Thermal Indices (response variable) and the environmental and geographic variables employed as predictors of the spatial GLMM. This model related the temperatures to the changes of CTI, considering the habitat (forest) change. The Community Thermal Indices were computed from the Species Thermal Indices. We obtained four thermal indices for each species (Species Thermal Index – STI) by combining the global species’ distribution and the climate information. The STI1 (i) shows the mean temperature of the breeding season (April-July) throughout the species’ distribution range. Similarly, the STI2 (ii) is the average of the maximum temperatures above the percentile 95 in July, and the STI3 (iii) is the average minimum temperature below the percentile 05 in April in the species’ breeding distribution range. These three indices represent a species’ thermal affinity. On the other hand, the fourth index (iv) (Species Thermal Range - STR) re..., , # Data for: Recent changes in thermal niche position and breadth of bird assemblages in Spain in relation to increasing temperatures

Average annual temperatures in Spain are projected to rise under the different Representative Concentration Pathways (RCP), based on the historic baseline of **** degrees Celsius (°C). Under the RCP *** intermediate emission scenario, it is expected that temperatures will rise to **** °C in the next decades and to **** °C by mid-century. Temperatures will continue to rise to reach **** °C by 2099, following the same scenario.
Spain's average temperature usually peaks in the summer months of July and August, and reaches its lowest values in December of each year. In January 2024, the mean temperature in Spain stood at *** degrees Celsius, up from *** degrees Celsius in the same month of the previous year. During the period in consideration, the Mediterranean country registered its warmest average temperature in July 2020, at ** degrees Celsius.
