Global maps of soil temperature. [PDF]

open access: yesGlob Chang Biol, 2022
We provide global maps of soil temperature at a 1 km2 resolution, based on a global database of more than 8500 in situ soil temperature time series. We show that over the year, soils in cold and/or dry biomes are on average 3.6°C warmer, whereas soils in warm and humid environments are 0.7°C cooler than gridded air temperature.

Mapping Resilient Landscapes to Climate Change in a Megadiverse Country. [PDF]

open access: yesGlob Chang Biol
Our mapping of terrestrial climate‐resilient sites for biodiversity across Brazil identifies sites with greater chances of providing suitable conditions for species to persist under regional climate change. Landscape resilience information has the potential to be used to effectively guide decision‐making and public policy on strategies for conservation,

Moisture Sources and Life Cycle of Convective Systems over Western Colombia

open access: yesAdvances in Meteorology, 2011
This paper describes life cycle and moisture sources of mesoscale convective systems (MCSs) observed over western Colombia. Results show that, in general, MCS are more frequent during boreal summer and autumn, and particularly, systems observed in summer

Morphological characteristics of drainage networks related to landslide cluster in the Colombian Andean [PDF]

open access: yesE3S Web of Conferences, 2023
Debris flows are a highly destructive and common phenomena in Colombia. A large percentage are triggered during seasonal rainfalls. And the Andean region is the most affected area, which exhibits a dynamic landscape made up of weak and highly weathered ...

Review of foraminifera methodologies related to hydrocarbon seeps on the ocean floor: implications for the Colombian Caribbean

open access: yesBoletín de Ciencias de la Tierra, 2022
In the last decade, the marine seeps of hydrocarbon-rich fluids, mainly methane, have been studied from the shells of recent calcareous foraminifera and fossils.

Roadkill patterns in Latin American birds and mammals

open access: yesGlobal Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 31, Issue 9, Page 1756-1783, September 2022., 2022
Abstract Aim Roads are a major threat for wildlife, degrading habitat and causing mortality via wildlife–vehicle collisions. In Latin America, the conjunction of high biodiversity and a rapidly expanding road network is reason for concern. We introduce an approach that combines species traits and habitat preferences to describe vulnerability and map ...

Review of the hydraulic capacity of urban grate inlet: a global and Latin American perspective

open access: yesWater Science and Technology, 2021
The most recent numerical models of urban drainage allow the integration of runoff from roads with the network of sewer pipes, thus evolving towards a holistic version of the system.

TRY plant trait database – enhanced coverage and open access

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology, Volume 26, Issue 1, Page 119-188, January 2020., 2020
Plant traits—the morphological, anatomical, physiological, biochemical and phenological characteristics of plants—determine how plants respond to environmental factors, affect other trophic levels, and influence ecosystem properties and their benefits and detriments to people.
