Climatic Drivers of the Area Burned by Winter Wildfires in Northern Italy

open access: yesInternational Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
This study investigates winter wildfires occurring between November and April in northern Italy over the period 2008–2022. By integrating high‐resolution burned‐area data with gridded climatic indices derived from 150 weather stations, it identifies spatial and temporal wildfire patterns, highlights the most fire‐prone mountain areas through pixel ...

Satellite and Reanalysis Dataset Dependence of ETCCDI Extreme Precipitation Trends in Paraná, Southern Brazil

open access: yesInternational Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Extreme precipitation trends detected in Paraná, Southern Brazil (1983–2024), are strongly conditioned by the dataset used, with reanalyses indicating coherent inland drying and longer dry spells, observations retaining stronger mesoscale heterogeneity, and satellite products often showing declines in short‐duration extremes. Monthly diagnostics reveal

Sensitive detection of chronic wasting disease prions recovered from environmentally relevant surfaces

open access: yesEnvironment International, 2022
Chronic wasting disease (CWD) has been identified in 30 states in the United States, four provinces in Canada, and recently emerged in Scandinavia. The association of CWD prions with environmental materials such as soil, plants, and surfaces may enhance ...

Land‐Atmosphere Coupling Is Associated With Severer Vegetation Productivity Losses During Compound Dry‐Hot Events in Drylands

open access: yesInternational Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Compound dry‐hot events (CDHEs) exerted severer damage on vegetation productivity for temperate shrublands, savannas and grasslands in drylands. Land‐atmosphere coupling was associated with severer negative impacts of CDHEs through soil moisture–temperature feedback, especially for dry‐event‐leading CDHEs.

Addressing chronic wasting disease in Korean farms: topsoil removal and 2N NaOH treatment before cervid restocking

open access: yesPrion
Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a highly contagious prion disease occurring in free-ranging and farmed cervids. In the Republic of Korea, cases of CWD continue to be detected almost annually, on both new and occasionally previously infected farms.

Research Progress of Coarse Woody Residues in Forest Ecosystems

open access: yesGuangdong nongye kexue, 2022
Coarse woody debris (CWD) is one of the important components of forest ecosystem, which provides habitat for many species. It is an important consideration for forest and woodland restoration.

Sensitivity of Consecutive‐Dry‐Day Trends to Trace Loss in Matched Precipitation Archives

open access: yesInternational Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Loss of trace precipitation information can turn valid dry days into missing observations that interrupt consecutive dry day (CDD) spells. Simulating this loss reduced the median cross‐archive CDD trend discrepancy by 88% across 205 matched Spanish station pairs; a separate global experiment converting documented traces to missing observations changed ...

Prospective fecal microbiomic biomarkers for chronic wasting disease

open access: yesMicrobiology Spectrum
Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a naturally occurring prion disease in cervids that has been rapidly proliferating in the United States. Here, we investigated a potential link between CWD infection and gut microbiome by analyzing 50 fecal samples ...

Amount and diversity of coarse woody debris within a boreal forest landscape dominated by Pinus sylvestris in Vienansalo wilderness, eastern Fennoscandia

open access: yesSilva Fennica, 2002
The amount, variability, quality and spatial pattern of coarse woody debris (CWD) on mineral soil sites was studied within a natural Pinus sylvestris L. dominated boreal forest landscape in Russian Viena Karelia. Data on the total CWD was collected on

Revisiting Hunter Perceptions toward Chronic Wasting Disease: Changes in Behavior over Time

open access: yesAnimals, 2020
Hunter behavior varies in relation to perceived risk of Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) and changes in perceptions of CWD will lead to changes in behavior over time.
