Potential distribution of three types of ephemeral plants under climate changes

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
BackgroundArid and semi-arid regions account for about 40% of the world’s land surface area, and are the most sensitive areas to climate change, leading to a dramatic expansion of arid regions in recent decades. Ephemeral plants are crucial herbs in this

On Ambient Temperature of Transformer Substations in Desert Climates

2021 IEEE Power & Energy Society Innovative Smart Grid Technologies Conference (ISGT), 2021
Ambienttemperatures used as inputs for transformer prediction, monitoring, or aging algorithms are normally obtained from the atmospheric data available from local and international meteorological agencies. While easy to obtain and certainly useful, this data source may lead to erroneous readings as the ambient temperature, such as the proposed in the ...

Desert Amplification in a Warming Climate [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2016
AbstractHere I analyze the observed and projected surface temperature anomalies over land between 50°S-50°N for the period 1950–2099 by large-scale ecoregion and find strongest warming consistently and persistently seen over driest ecoregions such as the Sahara desert and the Arabian Peninsula during various 30-year periods, pointing to desert ...
