Abstract Tree regeneration is vital to shaping characteristics of future forests, including vulnerability to climate change; resilience to pests, pathogens and disturbance; and departure from historical species composition. We used data from nationwide forest inventory plots to investigate trends in sapling abundance and recruitment as well as tree ...

DISAPPEARANCE OF PULSATIONS IN SEVERE DOWNSLOPE WINDSTORMS
Idealized numerical simulations of the bora-type flow have been performed. The intention was to find what causes the pulsations in the developed windstorm state to disappear. Four different incident vertical profiles were used and the results showed that the main effect originates from the low-level positive shear, and the uppertropospheric jet stream ...

A New Theory for Downslope Windstorms and Trapped Mountain Waves
Abstract Linear mountain gravity waves forced by a nonlinear surface boundary condition are derived for a background wind that is null at the surface and increases smoothly to reach a constant value aloft and for a constant buoyancy frequency.

State of the UK Climate in 2025
This report provides a summary of the state of the UK's climate in 2025. It is one of a series of annual reports published in the International Journal of Climatology since 2018. It presents the latest assessment of UK climate trends, variations and extremes based on the most up to date observations from the land network of weather stations.

Another Type of Downslope Windstorm in Smith's Model.
In a vertically 2-dimensional steady adiabatic fluid system, there exists a vorticity-like conserved quantity, which is a function of the stream function. In Smith (1985)'s original model of downslope windstorm, this function is assumed to be linear, and the proportionality constant to be negative.

From forest stand decline to salvage logging: Cascading impacts on saproxylic beetle diversity
Given the pronounced context dependency of the processes driving these cascading community dynamics, and considering the increasing frequency, severity and spatial extent of forest disturbances and global stand decline, it is imperative to integrate this complexity into management and conservation frameworks.

Climate Change Projected to Increase Rates of Background Tree Mortality Across Eastern North America
Background tree mortality is the ambient, natural death of trees that occurs without major disturbances. Using data from more than 24,000 forest plots across Canada and the United States, we found that warmer temperatures are linked to higher background tree mortality for many common tree species in eastern North America.

Abstract Weather‐dependent renewable energy resources are already vulnerable to climate change. High‐resolution regional climate simulations are essential for accurately assessing how climate change may impact wind energy resources, particularly in regions with complex topography.

The spread of non‐native species
ABSTRACT The global redistribution of species through human agency is one of the defining ecological signatures of the Anthropocene, with biological invasions reshaping biodiversity patterns, ecosystem processes and services, and species interactions globally.

Impactful Weather and Multi‐Hazard Events: Lived Experiences From Rural Scotland
This study explores stakeholders’ experiences of impactful weather events and multi‐hazards—whose frequency and severity are evolving due to climate change—using surveys of 43 participants and 12 follow‐up interviews from respondents in rural Scotland as a case study.
