Water resources management in a homogenizing world: Averting the Growth and Underinvestment trajectory [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Biotic homogenization, a de facto symptom of a global biodiversity crisis, underscores the urgency of reforming water resources management to focus on the health and viability of ecosystems.

Abandonment of pearl millet cropping and homogenization of its diversity over a 40 year period in Senegal.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2020
Cultivated diversity is considered an insurance against major climatic variability. However, since the 1980s, several studies have shown that climate variability and agricultural changes may already have locally eroded crop genetic diversity.

Validation metrics of homogenization techniques on artificially inhomogenized monthly temperature networks in Sweden and Slovenia (1950–2005)

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
In order to correctly detect climate signals and discard possible instrumentation errors, establishing coherent data records has become increasingly relevant.

Climate tolerances and trait choices shape continental patterns of urban tree biodiversity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Aim: We propose and test a climate tolerance and trait choice hypothesis of urban macroecological variation in which strong filtering associated with low winter temperatures restricts urban biodiversity while weak filtering associated with warmer ...

Homogenization of Urban Forests across the Subtropical Zones of China

open access: yesLand, 2023
The composition of urban forests (UFs) exhibits homogenization among cities compared with rural forests (RFs) among different climate zones. However, the degree of homogenization in subtropical UFs and its difference from RFs remain unclear.

Impact analysis of processing strategies for long-term GPS zenith tropospheric delay (ZTD) [PDF]

open access: yesAtmospheric Measurement Techniques, 2023
Homogenized atmospheric water vapour data are an important prerequisite for climate analysis. Compared with other techniques, GPS has an inherent homogeneity advantage, but it still requires reprocessing and homogenization to eliminate impacts of applied

Ribbon Turbulence [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
We investigate the non-linear equilibration of a two-layer quasi-geostrophic flow in a channel forced by an imposed unstable zonal mean flow, paying particular attention to the role of bottom friction.

Floristic response to urbanization: Filtering of the bioregional flora in Indianapolis, Indiana, USA [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
PREMISE OF THE STUDY: Globally, urban plant populations are becoming increasingly important, as these plants play a vital role in ameliorating effects of ecosystem disturbance and climate change.

Climate change and spatio-temporal trend analysis of climate extremes in the homogeneous climatic zones of Pakistan during 1962-2019

open access: yesPLOS ONE, 2022
Climate extremes, such as heat waves, droughts, extreme rainfall can lead to harvest failures, flooding and consequently threaten the food security worldwide. Improving our understanding about climate extremes can mitigate the worst impacts of climate change and extremes.
