How wildlife respond to tropical cyclones: short‐term tactics and long‐term impacts

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT From butterflies to lizards and from sharks to seabirds, wildlife exhibit tactics to survive the impacts of tropical cyclones, also known as hurricanes, cyclones, or typhoons depending on where they occur. Some species seek refuge during the storm by moving, some remain in place and ride it out, and others move longer distances, avoiding the ...

Alpine dams

Revue de Géographie Alpine, 2008
Mountain reservoirs were initially built in the Alps to meet energy needs in the winter. A certain diversification in the uses of water then gradually developed, related to tourism development in the local communities.

Orchard netting impacts on biodiversity leading to cascading effects at the ecosystem level

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Agriculture must ensure food production without further compromising the ecosystem functions upon which it depends. Agricultural practices should therefore avoid harming farmland biodiversity, especially of taxa that supply the key ecosystem services (e.g.

Risques et impacts environnementaux des retenues d’altitude pour la production de neige de culture dans un contexte de changement climatique

Revue de Géographie Alpine, 2011
Mountain reservoirs are hydraulic structures implanted in recreational mountain resorts designed to provide a water reserve mainly used for the production of artificial snow. Their implantation in high-altitude zones makes them highly specific reservoirs

Snow heterogeneous reactivity of bromide with ozone lost during snow metamorphism [PDF]

Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2020
Earth's snow cover is very dynamic on diurnal timescales. The changes to the snow structure during this metamorphism have wide-ranging impacts on processes such as avalanche formation and on the capacity of surface snow to exchange trace gases with the ...

New spectral functions of the near-ground albedo derived from aircraft diffraction spectrometer observations [PDF]

, 2014
The airborne spectral observations of the upward and downward irradiances are revisited to investigate the dependence of the near-ground albedo as a function of wavelength in the entire solar spectrum for different surfaces (sand, water, snow) and under ...

Green Is the New Gold: Redefining Opulent Lifestyle Through Organic Food Purchases

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Prior studies based on the Theory of Planned Behavior mostly examined the effects of health and environmental concerns on organic food consumption; however, few addressed the paradoxical relationships in the context of opulent or symbolic decorum.

Microscale Rearrangement of Ammonium Induced by Snow Metamorphism

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2019
Earth’s snowpack hosts chemical impurities that exchange with the overlying air, strongly impacting atmospheric chemistry. Being embedded in firn and glacier ice formed from surface snow, impurities provide the basis for reconstructing past atmospheric ...
