Towards an ‘absolute’ timing of biostratigraphic and environmental phases from the Saalian late glacial to the Weichselian pleniglacial in central Europe—Insights from a lacustrine succession in Lichtenberg, northern Germany

Boreas, EarlyView.
Palynological records are central to the biostratigraphic subdivision of the Late Pleistocene in central Europe. Yet many interglacial and interstadial phases—such as the Eemian, Brörup and Odderade—remain only poorly constrained in time due to limited numerical dating.

From French Earthen Heritage to Djiboutian Earthen Construction: Material Characterization and Potential for Bioclimatic Application

Buildings
This study investigates the potential of raw earth as a sustainable construction material through a comparative material-scale analysis of soils from Châlons-en-Champagne (France) and Balbala (Djibouti), two contrasting geological and climatic contexts ...

Development of bioclimatic chart for passive building design

International Journal of Sustainable Energy, 2013
The selection of building passive thermal design strategies is based heavily on the local climatic conditions. Identifying the best strategy for a given location can be made using bioclimatic charts. Such charts depend on the atmospheric pressure and are commonly available at sea level.

Comprehensive framework for assessing and optimizing existing research networks

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Conservation, monitoring, and research networks, or collections of ecological research sites unified under a common mission of data collection or a research mission, are essential infrastructure for understanding large landscapes. However, most networks developed opportunistically over decades rather than through systematic design, creating ...

Bioclimatic building design considering urban microclimate

Journal of Physics: Conference Series, 2019
Abstract The urban context is often simplified or neglected in building energy models (BEM) due to their incapacity to consider accurately all heat fluxes provided from the environment. Simplifying too much the urban context can have consequences on the accuracy of the BEM predictions.

Impact of global change on the distribution of mountain mammals and birds

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Climate change and land‐use changes are key drivers of global biodiversity loss. Many species are shifting to higher elevations or latitudes in response to global warming, often encountering unfavorable land‐use conditions during the shift. These changes can lead to reduced range size and increased extinction risks, particularly for mountain ...

Methodology to identify ecologically matching areas and its applications in conservation planning

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Identifying ecologically matching areas is both challenging and critical for understanding spatial patterns of biodiversity and advancing conservation planning. However, existing approaches often lack spatial flexibility, overlook shape and size constraints, or rely on limited environmental parameters, reducing their effectiveness in real ...

Leveraging obligate mutualism to resolve the rare species modeling paradox

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Species distribution models (SDMs) have emerged as vital tools for devising biodiversity conservation planning, yet modeling rare, data‐deficient species remains a significant challenge. To address this “rare species modelling paradox,” we propose a novel approach which posits that under the condition of significant niche overlap between the obligate ...

Potential of Bioclimatic Architecture in the Formation of Regional Spatial Environment

Bioclimatic architecture is a world-known trend in building architecture design, but in Latvia this term is scarcely used. While studying the theory of architecture and analysing practical examples, the author of this Paper has endeavoured to outline the
