, 1954 Because of the limited adaptability of humans to environmental conditions, the house has become the shield against natural climate variations in the global scheme of settlement. Most people nowadays spend more time indoors than in any other climatic environment. This makes houses an important bioclimatic object of investigations.

Urban bioclimatology in developing countries
Experientia, 1993 A brief review of the literature on urban human bioclimatology in the tropics is undertaken. Attempts to chart human bioclimatic conditions on the regional/local scale have been made in several developing countries. The effective temperature scheme (with all its limitations) is the one that has been most frequently applied.

Human Bioclimatology: An Introduction
, 1998 Living organisms respond to atmospheric variability and variation, and over time morphological and process differentiations occur both within individuals and the species, as well as in the environment itself. In systems language, the concern is with the atmospheric process-response system of energy and matter flows within the biosphere.

Trade-Offs Between Carbon and Water Fluxes Along a Land Use Intensity Gradient in Southeast Asian Forests and Plantations. [PDF]
Glob Chang BiolIncrease land use intensity may enhance net carbon uptake in fast‐growing species on mineral soil but concurrently increases the risk of water scarcity. Net carbon uptake and evapotranspiration in high land use intensity sites are more affected by water availability compared to low land use intensity sites.
