极端天气气候事件对宁夏野生动物种群安全的影响

野生动物学报, 2009
通过问卷调查和样地调查方法,分析极端天气气候对宁夏野生动物种群安全产生的影响。极端天气气候对优势物种数量影响严重。雀形目种群安全主要受到沙尘暴、冰雹和暴雨的影响较大;迁徙鸟类种群安全主要受到沙尘暴、冰雹和暴雨的影响较大;啮齿类种群安全主要受到暴雨的影响较大;岩羊种群安全受到沙尘暴、冰雹、暴雨和降雪的影响。

延安极端降雨特性分析及对梯田侵蚀灾害影响

Shuitu Baochi Xuebao, 2016
针对以增暖为主要标志的全球变化导致气候变率增大，极端天气气候事件和灾害发生更为频繁，造成的人口、农业经济生产、基础设施风险扩大的现实，以2013年造成延安多地严重受灾极端降雨特性及其对梯田侵蚀影响严重为例，基于延安站多年逐日降雨资料和梯田侵蚀实地测量资料，分析了该极端降雨的特征并探讨了其对梯田侵蚀灾害的影响。结果表明：（1）延安2013年降雨总量达到959 mm，比1951—2012多年平均降雨量高出448.8 mm，其中7—9月降雨量达到761 mm，占全年降雨量的79.4 ...

Region‐wide retreats from lower elevations of range‐restricted birds across the Northern Andes

Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 5, October 2023., 2023
Abstract Local studies show upslope shifts in the distribution of tropical birds in response to warming temperatures. Unanswered is whether these upward shifts occur regionally across many species. We considered a nearly 2000‐km length of the Northern Andes, where deforestation, temperature, and extreme weather events have increased during the past ...

Managing floods in Chennai City as part of situation understanding and improvement project

World Water Policy, Volume 9, Issue 3, Page 349-370, August 2023., 2023
Abstract Transdisciplinary approaches in water are important to ensure water security to everyone around the world. Recently, Young Water Professionals (YWPs) training was carried out to impart learning in transdisciplinary approaches. Besides online workshops and lectures, the training program included the Situation Understanding and Improvement ...

Factors that shape large‐scale gradients in clonality

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 50, Issue 5, Page 827-837, May 2023., 2023
Abstract Aim Many plant species reproduce clonally. However, ecologists still have much to learn about the factors that shape large‐scale patterns in plant clonal growth and reproduction, especially in the southern hemisphere. We addressed this knowledge gap by quantifying relationships between reproductive mode and a suite of plant characteristics and

Enabling conditions for integrating government institutions for disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation in the SADC region and beyond

Risk, Hazards &Crisis in Public Policy, Volume 14, Issue 1, Page 6-26, March 2023., 2023
Abstract Climate change, through extreme weather events, is increasing the risk and impacts of disasters. An increase in extreme weather events underscores the importance of bringing coherence in efforts to reduce the risk of disasters and to adapt to the impacts of the changing climate.

How to prioritize species recovery after a megafire

Conservation Biology, Volume 36, Issue 5, October 2022., 2022
Abstract Due to climate change, megafires are increasingly common and have sudden, extensive impacts on many species over vast areas, leaving decision makers uncertain about how best to prioritize recovery. We devised a decision‐support framework to prioritize conservation actions to improve species outcomes immediately after a megafire.

Incorporating cyclone risk in the design of marine protected and conserved areas as an ecosystem-based adaptation approach. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Marine protected and conserved areas (MPCAs) are promoted as an ecosystem‐based adaptation (EbA) approach to increase community and ecosystem resilience to climate change. However, traditional approaches to MPCA design typically do not consider climate risk or habitat condition under a climate threat.

Leaf morphological traits as adaptations to multiple climate gradients

Journal of Ecology, Volume 110, Issue 6, Page 1344-1355, June 2022., 2022
The plastic response of size, shape, colour and other leaf morphological traits to climate is muted, thus their apparent shift along climate gradients reflects plant adaptations to environment at a community level as determined by species replacement.

A new method for broad‐scale modeling and projection of plant assemblages under climatic, biotic, and environmental cofiltering

Conservation Biology, Volume 36, Issue 2, April 2022., 2022
Abstract There is increasing interestin broad‐scale analysis, modeling, and prediction of the distribution and composition of plant species assemblages under climatic, environmental, and biotic change, particularly for conservation purposes. We devised a method to reliably predict the impact of climate change on large assemblages of plant communities ...
