Comparative patterns of plant invasions in the Mediterranean biome. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
The objective of this work was to compare and contrast the patterns of alien plant invasions in the world's five mediterranean-climate regions (MCRs). We expected landscape age and disturbance history to have bearing on levels of invasion. We assembled a

An improved and homogeneous altimeter sea level record from the ESA Climate Change Initiative [PDF]

open access: yesEarth System Science Data, 2018
Abstract. Sea level is a very sensitive index of climate change since it integrates the impacts of ocean warming and ice mass loss from glaciers and the ice sheets. Sea level has been listed as an essential climate variable (ECV) by the Global Climate Observing System (GCOS).

Homogeneous climate risk zones in Brazil

open access: yesRBRH
ABSTRACT Brazil has a heterogeneous climate throughout its territory which makes it difficult to outline a single climate risk management strategy. However, this unification can occur within sub-regions that present homogeneous climatic risk. In this context, the aim of this study was to delineate homogeneous climate risk zones in Brazil.

Signals of Climate Change and Spatio-temporal Analysis of Climate Extremes in the Homogeneous Climatic Zones of Pakistan During 1962-2019

open access: yes, 2021
Abstract This study investigates contemporary climate change and spatio-temporal analysis of climate extremes in Pakistan (divided into five homogenous climate zones) using observed data, categorized between 1962–1990 and 1991–2019. The results show that on the average, the changes in temperature and precipitation are significant at 5 ...
