Bioclimatic modelling in the holocene and in future warming scenarios in Arbutus unedo L. [PDF]

, 2018
Growing forests wildfires in Portugal are an increasing concern since forests in the Mediterranean region are vulnerable to recent global warming. Long-term negative effects are expected on the vegetation with the coming increasing drought.

Harnessing social media data to track species range shifts

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Biodiversity monitoring programs and citizen science data remain heavily biased toward the Global North. Especially in megadiverse countries with limited biodiversity records, incorporating social media data can help address existing data gaps.

Leveraging Knowledge of Traditional Italian Maize Landrace Diversity to Identify Signals of Local Adaptation [PDF]

Evol Appl
ABSTRACT Climate change is the greatest challenge to modern agriculture. It significantly impacts agricultural systems through an increased frequency and intensity of extreme environmental events. Maize, a vital crop for global food security, is particularly vulnerable to these changes, highlighting the urgent need to develop resilient varieties.

Possible effects of climate change on the early development of pea, broad bean, maize and sunflower in Mediterranean areas. [PDF]

, 2008
In Mediterranean-type climates crop yield depends strongly on the early development of individual plants. Extreme variations of soil temperature close to the surface of bare soils and fast changes of soil water content due to irregular rainfall and high ...

Assessment of ecosystem status in Mozambique and implications for environmental planning

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
We assess Mozambique's terrestrial ecosystems using the IUCN Red List of Ecosystems framework, showing that more than half of Mozambique's ecosystems are threatened, with impacts primarily concentrated in temperate subhumid grasslands and pyric tussock savannas.

Landscape and Urban Design for improved urban microclimate

Landscape Review
In this paper, we discuss the important role of landscape architecture and urban design in implementing urban heat mitigation strategies. We discuss how these professions relate to and are considered in studies focused on urban climate and outdoor ...

Thermal performances of a bioclimatic building in hot and dry tropical climate

Revue des Énergies Renouvelables, 2013
This paper is concerned with the thermal comfort of a double-walls seven stories bioclimatic building built with local construction materials. First of all, we use a numerical code to investigate the construction materials thermal inertia effects on the ...

Bioclimatic Characterization of Jalisco (Mexico) Based on a High-Resolution Climate Database and Its Relationship with Potential Vegetation

Remote Sensing
Bioclimatic classifications provide critical insights into the relationships between climatic variables and the geographic distribution of organisms. Advances in high-resolution climate data, geobotanical integration, and spatial analysis techniques have

Variety in evolutionary strategies favours biodiversity in habitats of moderate productivity [PDF]

, 2011
The mechanism whereby biodiversity varies between habitats differing in productivity is a missing link between ecological and evolutionary theory with vital implications for biodiversity conservation, management and the assessment of ecosystem services ...

Competitive interactions modify the direct effects of climate

Ecography, EarlyView.
As the climate is changing, species respond by changing their distributions and abundances. The effects of climate are not only direct, but also occur via changes in biotic interactions, such as competition. Yet, the role of competition in mediating the effects of climate is still largely unclear.
