Interspecific variability of 1,8-cineole content, phenolics and bioactivity among nine Eucalyptus taxa growing under the sub-humid bioclimate stage

Journal of Complementary and Integrative Medicine, 2020
Background Eucalyptus essential oils and extracts are used since the ancient times in alternative medicine. The 1,8-cineole is the most significant constituent of Eucalyptus essential oil, while phenolic contents define the value of eucalyptus extracts ...

Bioclimate and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi regulate continental biogeographic variations in effect of nitrogen deposition on the temperature sensitivity of soil organic carbon decomposition

Land Degradation and Development, 2020
The temperature sensitivity (Q10) of soil organic carbon (SOC) decomposition is an important parameter for those seeking accurate projections of SOC dynamics and its feedback on climate change in terrestrial ecosystems.

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

Can native shrubs facilitate the establishment of trees under arid bioclimate? A case study from Tunisia

, 2020
The scarcity of tree regeneration is a major concern for the long-term conservation of tree cover in the arid areas of Tunisia and the causes of this shortage are poorly understood. The objectives of the study, conducted in the National Park of Bou Hedma,

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.

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.

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.

Thermal bioclimate in Strasbourg - the 2003 heat wave

Theoretical and Applied Climatology, 2009
This case study highlights the implications of the 2003 heat wave for the city of Strasbourg, France. The urban centers of France and other European countries were particularly affected by the heat wave. In some urban areas, the mortality rate was 60% above the expected value (Institute de Veille Sanitaire, 2003).

Heat Island and Thermal Bioclimate in Athens, Greece

2012
Urbanization and industrialization are the main causes of the well documented climatic phenomenon called heat island. As the problem is worse in big cities, more urban residents complain about discomfort conditions. In this context, the aim of the present study is a combinational approach of heat island and thermal bioclimate in the city of Athens. For
