Bayesian hierarchical models for analysing the spatial distribution of bioclimatic indices [PDF]
, 2017 A methodological approach for modelling the spatial distribution of bioclimatic indices is proposed in this paper. The value of the bioclimatic index is modelled with a hierarchical Bayesian model that incorporates both structured and unstructured random

Impacts of large herbivores on mycorrhizal fungal communities across the Arctic
Ecography, EarlyView.Mycorrhizal fungi play an integral role in nutrient and carbon cycling in soils, which may be especially important in the Arctic, one of the world's most soil carbon‐rich regions. Large mammalian herbivores can influence these fungi through their impacts on vegetation and soil conditions, however the strength and prevalence of these interactions in the

How bio-inspired solutions have influenced the built environment design in hot and humid climates
Frontiers in Built Environment, 2023 The rapid increase in the population, which has been concentrated mainly in urban areas, has caused an environmental imbalance over the years since the built environment developed as a foreign element to the ecosystem, which prevents having resilient ...

Bioclimatic Urban Green Indicator for the sustainability of cities in arid environment. [PDF]
, 2017 Within the sustainability of cities located in arid environments, bioclimatic indicators of urban green are proposed, taking as a study case the Metropolitan Area of San Juan, Argentina, city located in the arid strip of South America, which has one of ...

Ecography, EarlyView.A central goal of ecology is to understand spatial patterns of species densities. Habitat suitability estimates from species distribution models (SDMs) could be used to represent species density and overcome the scarcity of density data. However, there is mixed evidence that habitat suitability is a reliable descriptor of density, and it is suggested ...

Ecography, EarlyView.Microorganisms perform essential functions in Arctic terrestrial ecosystems. Yet, their ecology and biogeography are poorly understood, despite being necessary to predict microbial responses to future climate change. Here, we provide the first large‐scale floristic and biogeographic study of the moss diatom flora in the tundra regions of the North ...
