How wildlife respond to tropical cyclones: short‐term tactics and long‐term impacts

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT From butterflies to lizards and from sharks to seabirds, wildlife exhibit tactics to survive the impacts of tropical cyclones, also known as hurricanes, cyclones, or typhoons depending on where they occur. Some species seek refuge during the storm by moving, some remain in place and ride it out, and others move longer distances, avoiding the ...

Identifying erosive periods by using RUSLE factors in mountain fields of the Central Spanish Pyrenees [PDF]

Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2008
The Mediterranean environment is characterized by strong temporal variations in rainfall volume and intensity, soil moisture and vegetation cover along the year. These factors play a key role on soil erosion. The aim of this work is to identify different

A mosaic of microclimates: biodiversity outcomes and wildlife habitat potential in large‐scale solar facilities

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The rapid global expansion of photovoltaic (PV) solar facilities, now comprising nearly 80% of the recent and projected growth of renewable electricity, represents one of the most significant land‐use changes of the 21st century. While PV facilities are critical for decarbonising energy systems, their large spatial footprint and infrastructure

Zoning of erosion potential of water accumulated in snow cover based on climatological data analysis

Acta Universitatis Agriculturae et Silviculturae Mendelianae Brunensis, 2009
Melting of snow in winter and early spring often causes soil erosion. The results of erosion studies show that the runoff generated in the cold period can cause more intensive erosion than in the warm half year.

Rainfall Erosivity in Southeastern Nigeria

Ethiopian Journal of Environmental Studies and Management, 2012
In developing land management plans to minimize erosion problem, it is imperative to provide quantitative information on aggressiveness of storms for identifying areas in the landscape which are sensitive to disturbances. The study established that rainfall erosivity (R) indices over Southeastern Nigeria range from very low to very high erosivity ...

Improving Rainfall Erosivity Estimates Using Merged TRMM and Gauge Data

Remote Sensing, 2017
Soil erosion is a global issue that threatens food security and causes environmental degradation. Management of water erosion requires accurate estimates of the spatial and temporal variations in the erosive power of rainfall (erosivity).

Climate Change Risks and Customer Concentration: Evidence From US‐Listed Firms

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT While prior studies have investigated climate risks in supply chains, customer ESG pressures, and shared climate exposure, this paper is, to the best of our knowledge, the first to provide direct empirical evidence on the relationship between climate change risks and firms' customer concentration.

A Systemic Model for Understanding Business Interactions With Biodiversity and Ecosystems

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biodiversity loss and ecosystem degradation represent critical threats to human well‐being and economic resilience, challenging businesses to understand and manage their interdependence with natural systems. This study develops a systemic framework—the BioModel—that elucidates the reciprocal relationship between businesses, biodiversity, and ...

Erosividade, padrões hidrológicos, período de retorno e probabilidade de ocorrência das chuvas em São Borja, RS Erosivity, hydrological patterns, return period and probability of occurrence of rainfalls at São Borja, RS, Brazil

Revista Brasileira de Ciência do Solo, 2008
A capacidade erosiva da chuva pode ser estimada utilizando-se de alguns índices, dentre os quais o mais utilizado é o EI30, que representa o produto da energia cinética de impacto das gotas da chuva (E) pela intensidade máxima de precipitação em 30 min ...
