Associations between environmental covariates and temporal changes in malaria incidence in high transmission settings of Uganda: a distributed lag nonlinear analysis [PDF]

BMC Public Health, 2021
Background Environmental factors such as temperature, rainfall, and vegetation cover play a critical role in malaria transmission. However, quantifying the relationships between environmental factors and measures of disease burden relevant for public ...

Integrating Molecular Markers and Environmental Covariates To Interpret Genotype by Environment Interaction in Rice (Oryza sativa L.) Grown in Subtropical Areas [PDF]

G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2019
Understanding the genetic and environmental basis of genotype × environment interaction (G×E) is of fundamental importance in plant breeding. If we consider G×E in the context of genotype × year interactions (G×Y), predicting which lines will have stable

The Effect of Bioclimatic Covariates on Ensemble Machine Learning Prediction of Total Soil Carbon in the Pannonian Biogeoregion

Agronomy, 2023
This study employed an ensemble machine learning approach to evaluate the effect of bioclimatic covariates on the prediction accuracy of soil total carbon (TC) in the Pannonian biogeoregion. The analysis involved two main segments: (1) evaluation of base

Predictors for digital mapping of forest soil organic carbon stocks in different types of landscape

Soil and Water Research, 2022
Forest soils have a high potential to store carbon and thus mitigate climate change. The information on spatial distribution of soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks is thus very important. This study aims to analyse the importance of environmental predictors
