In the Mediterranean region, badlands are found in both dry (arid and semi-arid) and wet (subhumid and humid) environments, and are characterized by complex hydro-geomorphological dynamics, high intense erosion processes and extreme sediment yield. Understanding the impact of Global Change is key to predict the on-site and off-site effects on badland dynamics, particularly its consequences on bedrock weathering, on sediment yield and delivery and on plant colonization. Here, conducting a systematic literature review, we analyzed an extensive database and identified the main climate-drivers affecting the hydro-geomorphological dynamics in Mediterranean badlands (based on non-metric multidimensional scaling and structural equation modeling analysis). Later, we examined the main impacts expected from climate change forecasting in the near future, and we explored the interactions between badlands response to climate variation. In Mediterranean badlands, weathering processes are mainly related to wetting–drying cycles and freeze–thaw cycles in dry and wet badlands, respectively. In both environments, rainfall amount appears as the main driver for runoff response, and rainfall amount and rainfall intensity for erosion dynamics. Future climate scenarios forecast a decrease in annual rainfall, number of rainfall events and frost days, and in soil moisture, and an increase in rainfall intensity. These changes will have direct hydro-geomorphological implications with direct and indirect effects on badland dynamics. This may result in a decrease in annual runoff in dry badlands, but the occurrence of more frequent extreme events would increase soil erosion and could negatively affect biological soil crust. In wet badlands, weathering and erosion processes may decrease, and a stabilization of the slopes, with consequently improved vegetation growth, may be expected. In addition, the forecasted changes must be taken into account, especially considering the possible off-site effects of these extreme environments. 000151296 536__ $$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/EC/H2020/834329/EU/Sediment regime disturbance of river catchments in a changing land cover context: Geoenvironmental and population dynamics/SEDILAND$$9This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under grant agreement No H2020 834329-SEDILAND$$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MINECO/MANMOUNT PID2019-105983RB-100 000151296 540__ $$9info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess$$aAll rights reserved$$uhttp://www.europeana.eu/rights/rr-f/ 000151296 590__ $$a3.956$$b2021 000151296 591__ $$aGEOGRAPHY, PHYSICAL$$b21 / 50 = 0.42$$c2021$$dQ2$$eT2 000151296 591__ $$aGEOSCIENCES, MULTIDISCIPLINARY$$b68 / 202 = 0.337$$c2021$$dQ2$$eT2 000151296 592__ $$a1.193$$b2021 000151296 593__ $$aEarth-Surface Processes$$c2021$$dQ1 000151296 593__ $$aEarth and Planetary Sciences (miscellaneous)$$c2021$$dQ1 000151296 594__ $$a6.7$$b2021 000151296 655_4 $$ainfo:eu-repo/semantics/article$$vinfo:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersion 000151296 700__ $$aRodríguez-Caballero, E. 000151296 700__ $$aChamizo, S. 000151296 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0002-2985-1023$$aJuez, C. 000151296 700__ $$aCantón, Y. 000151296 700__ $$aGarcía-Ruiz, J.M. 000151296 773__ $$g47, 1 (2021), 17-31$$pEarth surf. processes landf.$$tEARTH SURFACE PROCESSES AND LANDFORMS$$x0197-9337 000151296 8564_ $$s2856956$$uhttps://zaguan.unizar.es/record/151296/files/texto_completo.pdf$$yPostprint 000151296 8564_ $$s1541619$$uhttps://zaguan.unizar.es/record/151296/files/texto_completo.jpg?subformat=icon$$xicon$$yPostprint 000151296 909CO $$ooai:zaguan.unizar.es:151296$$particulos$$pdriver 000151296 951__ $$a2025-10-17-14:18:37 000151296 980__ $$aARTICLE
