Predicting the impacts of climate change on the distribution of species: are bioclimate envelope models useful?

open access: yesGlobal Ecology and Biogeography, 2003
Modelling strategies for predicting the potential impacts of climate change on the natural distribution of species have often focused on the characterization of a species’ bioclimate envelope.

Bioclimate Atlas of Jalisco State, Mexico

open access: yesEnergy Procedia, 2014
AbstractThis work presents the bioclimate maps of Jalisco, as a result of the analysis of its climatic information as well as the climatological standard normal data reported in different localities of the state. Higrotermic comfort conditions for humans were also analyzed based on the previously mentioned information. The definition of thermal comfort

The bioclimate in temperate and northern cities

International Journal of Biometeorology, 1991
Climate is a basic component of the human environment. Developments in building design and indoor climate control have contributed greatly to improving human health and comfort. By contrast, the possibilities for improving urban climatic conditions by deliberate planning have been poorly exploited. The structure and processes of the urban atmosphere in

RECONSTRUCTED HOLOCENE BIOCLIMATES∗

Annals of the Association of American Geographers, 1977
Paleopodzols and frost wedge polygons in and near the forest/ tundra ecotone indicate that Holocene fluctuation of the forest border has varied from 280 km (170 mi) north to a minimum of 50 km (30 mi) south of the modern forest border in southwest Keewatin.

A note on bedroom bioclimate

Archiv für Meteorologie, Geophysik und Bioklimatologie Serie B, 1962
A three-month survey of bedroom climate in the transition season from spring to summer in the Washington, D. C., area is presented. It showed nearly complete independence from outdoor conditions during the period when central heating was needed and windos were closed.

Problems in the assessment of the bioclimate for vacationists at the seaside

International Journal of Biometeorology, 1991
In order to assess the value of common climatic information given to vacationists, measurements of thermophysiologically relevant climatic parameters were carried out on a beach in Italy and compared to those of a nearby official meteorological station. As an integral bioclimatic index the Physiological Equivalent Temperature, PET, was calculated.

Bioclimate of three varieties of oat

Agricultural Meteorology, 1976
Abstract The bioclimate in plots of three oat varieties grown under three different water regimes (unmodified, drier, and wetter plots) was studied. The bioclimate measurements were combined with soil water determinations and growth and production measurements.

The effect of bioclimate on the communication system of night-flying moths

International Journal of Biometeorology, 1968
Detection of moths and plants by infrared radiation (IR) is possible by night-flying moths. The thermal radiation emissivity of green plants is high (0.96) and that of a plowed field low (0.28). Four elements of the biosphere, temperature, atmospheric moisture, CO2 and O3 could hinder transmission.Corn earworm flight temperatures rise 3°C above ambient

Assessment of human bioclimate based on thermal response

International Journal of Biometeorology, 1985
To assess the thermal component of human climate, the adequacy of two body-environment energy balance models is tested. Requirements are that these models should include the full range of atmospheric variables using a system which embraces both the attributes of those exposed and the functional attributes of the environment.
