Multivariate Analysis of the Bioclimatic and Soil Determinants That Model the Distribution of Bidens pilosa L. in Veracruz, Mexico

Grasses
Bidens pilosa L. is a cosmopolitan and invasive weed that strongly impacts agricultural systems in tropical regions. In Veracruz, Mexico, its presence extends mainly across mid-elevation zones where coffee, maize, and sugarcane are cultivated. This study

Anuran call properties as reliable indicators of environmental suitability for reproduction

Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, EarlyView.
The onset of animal breeding activity is often accompanied by auditory signals, typically produced by males, that indicate reproductive status to potential mates and competitors. Here, using male anuran advertisement calls as a case study, we present the novel hypothesis that characteristics of ectotherm auditory signals that are modulated by ...

Human appreciation of flower colours as cultural ecosystem service in grasslands: A methodological approach

Grassland Research, EarlyView.
This literature‐based method estimates human appreciation of flower colours on target grasslands. Step 1: search literature sources (floristic surveys, national floras, web datasets and preference studies). Step 2: flower trait extraction (flower colour and area, flowering period and human colour appreciation scale).

Variability of the Climate in Athens‐Greece Over the Last 165 Years of the Period 1858–2023: An Assessment Based on Thornthwaite's Climate Classification and Relevant Indices

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Athens' climate according to Thorthwaite is stable despite warming trends. Athens' climate remains semi‐arid and mesothermal over 165 years. Strong increases in evapotranspiration and stable precipitation were found. Soil water storage capacity affects water deficits but not aridity type.

Effect of bio‐fertilization and edapho‐climatic conditions on chickpea nodulation, grain yields, and seed protein in a Mediterranean context: a meta‐analysis approach

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Chickpeas (Cicer arietinum L.) serve as a protein‐rich staple, particularly in Mediterranean countries, where they are often grown in marginal and water‐stressed areas. This meta‐analysis synthesized evidence from peer‐reviewed publications across Mediterranean countries to assess how chickpea rhizobial inoculation influences chickpea ...

Development of Future Habitat Suitability Models for the Swift fox (Vulpes velox) in the American Southwest [PDF]

, 2009
The Swift fox (Vupes velox) is a habitat specialist species of short or mixed grass prairie. We used bioclimatic envelope models and habitat suitability models under three future climate scenarios (based on CO2 emission rates) from "www ...

Wildfires' Cost for Societal Welfare: Economic Evaluation of Forestry Ecosystem Services Losses in Southern Italy

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Forest ecosystem services (ESs) are garnering increasing public attention as awareness grows regarding society's fundamental dependence on them for well‐being. Forest fires, one of the major disturbances of ESs, are becoming more frequent and destructive, exacerbated in part by climate change.

Spatiotemporal Fire Patterns and Post‐fire Forest Change in Peru (2000–2021)

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fire is increasingly more frequent and severe in many tropical regions, leading to significant forest loss, diminished biodiversity, and reduced Nature's contributions to people (NCPs). In this study, we analyzed the spatiotemporal patterns of fire in Peru and its regions, focusing on: (1) burned area, (2) size, and (3) number of fires, using ...

Bioclimatic, demographic and anthropogenic correlates of grizzly bear activity patterns in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem

Oikos, EarlyView.
Plasticity of diel activity rhythms may be a key element for adaptations of wildlife populations to changing environmental conditions. In the last decades, grizzly bears Ursus arctos in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem (GYE) have experienced notable environmental fluctuations, including changes in availability of food sources and severe droughts ...
