Regularities in species’ niches reveal the world’s climate regions

open access: yeseLife, 2021
Climate regions form the basis of many ecological, evolutionary, and conservation studies. However, our understanding of climate regions is limited to how they shape vegetation: they do not account for the distribution of animals.

The Future of Climate-Resilient and Climate-Neutral City in the Temperate Climate Zone

open access: yesInternational Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2022
The urban heat island (UHI) effect is the main problem regarding a city’s climate. It is the main adverse effect of urbanization and negatively affects human thermal comfort levels as defined by physiological equivalent temperature (PET) in the urban environment. Blue and green infrastructure (BGI) solutions may mitigate the UHI effect. First, however,
