Urbanization leads to asynchronous homogenization of soil microbial communities across biomes [PDF]

Environmental Science and Ecotechnology
Soil bacterial and fungal communities play fundamental roles in biogeochemical cycles and ecosystem stability. Urbanization alters soil properties and microbial habitats, driving shifts in community composition, yet the divergent responses of bacteria ...

A Dynamically Consistent ENsemble of Temperature at the Earth surface since 1850 from the DCENT dataset [PDF]

Scientific Data
Accurate historical records of Earth’s surface temperatures are central to climate research and policy development. Widely-used estimates based on instrumental measurements from land and sea are, however, not fully consistent at either global or regional

Climate change will drive mammal species loss and biotic homogenization in the Cerrado Biodiversity Hotspot

Perspectives in Ecology and Conservation, 2019
Anthropogenic climate change has been shown to be one of the most pervasive threats to biodiversity. However, few studies have considered its effects on whole communities.

Dataset of gridded time series of monthly air temperature (min, max, mean) and atmospheric precipitation for Ukraine covering the period of 1946–2020

Data in Brief, 2022
In the paper, we present a dataset of long gridded time series of monthly minimum, maximum and mean air temperature and atmospheric precipitation for Ukraine (one of the largest European countries), covering the period of 1946–2020. The dataset was built

Identifying marine food web homogenization patterns

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023
Ecosystems become increasingly similar to each other, based on species composition. Despite the inevitability of homogenized ecosystems due to global change, few studies have specifically addressed the identification of homogeneous systems in food webs ...

Climatically promoted taxonomic homogenization of macroinvertebrates in unaffected streams varies along the river continuum

Scientific Reports, 2023
Biotic homogenization appears to be a global consequence of anthropogenic change. However, the underlying environmental factors contributing to homogenization are difficult to identify because their effects usually interact and confound each other.

Potential Influence of the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation in the Recent Climate of a Small Basin in Central Mexico

Atmosphere, 2022
One of the main current challenges is detecting changes in the climate at the regional level. The present study tried to address this issue by looking for some influence of large-scale climate oscillations on the climate of a small and complex topography

Combination of Using Pairwise Comparisons and Composite Reference Series: A New Approach in the Homogenization of Climatic Time Series with ACMANT

Atmosphere, 2021
The removal of non-climatic biases, so-called inhomogeneities, from long climatic records needs sophistically developed statistical methods. One principle is that the differences between a candidate series and its neighbor series are usually analyzed ...

Benchmarking homogenization algorithms for monthly data [PDF]

Climate of the Past, 2012
The COST (European Cooperation in Science and Technology) Action ES0601: advances in homogenization methods of climate series: an integrated approach (HOME) has executed a blind intercomparison and validation study for monthly homogenization algorithms ...

Diversity and biotic homogenization of urban land-snail faunas in relation to habitat types and macroclimate in 32 central European cities. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
The effects of non-native species invasions on community diversity and biotic homogenization have been described for various taxa in urban environments, but not for land snails.
