Homogeneity in Patterns of Climate Extremes Between Two Cities—A Potential for Flood Planning in Relation to Climate Change [PDF]

Water, 2020
Information about potential scenarios and causes of floods is important for future planning. Historical weather data of Fredericton (New Brunswick) and Charlottetown (Prince Edward Island), the two coastal cities of Atlantic Canada, were analyzed using RClimDex, Mann–Kendall test, and Sen’s slope estimates for potential scenarios and causes of floods ...

Tree cover homogenization in semi-open ecosystems worldwide and implications for ecosystem stability and conservation

Cell Reports Sustainability
Summary: Semi-open ecosystems, such as savannas and open woodlands, are biodiversity hotspots due largely to their heterogeneous tree cover (TC), which supports diverse habitats.

Revisiting the early instrumental temperature records of Basel and Geneva

Meteorologische Zeitschrift, 2023
Basel and Geneva have two of the longest meteorological records in Switzerland, covering more than two and a half centuries. The respective monthly temperature series were published over 60 years ago and are part of todays main global temperature data ...

Greening of the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau and Its Response to Climate Variations along Elevation Gradients

Remote Sensing, 2021
The vegetation of the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau (QTP) is vital to the global climate change and ecological security of China. However, the impact of climate variation on the spatial pattern and zonal distribution of vegetation in the QTP remains unclear ...

Effect of distance, area, and climate on the frequency of introduction and extinction events on islands and archipelagos

Ecosphere, 2020
Change in community similarity (e.g., biotic homogenization) is regulated by different types of introduction and extinction events. However, the spatial patterns and potential drivers of these event types have not yet been addressed to date.

Study of Heat Engineering Homogeneity Fragments of Enclosing Structures in the Climatic Chamber [PDF]

MATEC Web of Conferences, 2016
The article describes a method of experimental determination of the coefficient of heat engineering homogeneity of enclosing structures buildings used during thermal testing in a climate chamber. The method is based on obtaining a matrix of temperature distribution on the inner surface of a fragment of enclosing structure.

The rapid climate change-caused dichotomy on subtropical evergreen broad-leaved forest in Yunnan: Reduction in habitat diversity and increase in species diversity

Plant Diversity, 2016
Yunnan's biodiversity is under considerable pressure and subtropical evergreen broad-leaved forests in this area have become increasingly fragmented through agriculture, logging, planting of economic plants, mining activities and changing environment ...

Expanding horizon of invasive alien plants under the interacting effects of global climate change: Multifaceted impacts and management prospects

Climate Change Ecology
Anthropogenic disturbances driven introduction of invasive alien plants (IAP) threatened the native biodiversity and environmental sustainability. IAP induced biotic homogenization can also disrupt ecosystem functioning/-services and socio-economy ...

Multidimensional diversity of bird communities across spatial variation of land cover in Zoige on the eastern Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau

Avian Research, 2021
Background Spatial variation of land cover can result in the changes of community similarities and biotic homogenization, whereby the increasing similarity would reduce the adaptive capacity of biotic assemblages to further disturbance, and degenerate ...
