Mean Radiant Cooling in a Hot-Humid Climate [PDF]

, 1996
Shaded interior mass walls in a hot-humid climate can be thermally grounded to an earth heat sink under an insulated structure. The mean radiant temperature (MRT) of the shaded and thermally grounded interior mass walls will be cooler in summer than ...

Home Environments and Allergen Avoidance Practices in a Hot, Humid Climate [PDF]

Housing and Society, 2003
AbstractThe purpose of this research was to examine home conditions, housing satisfaction, and allergen avoidance practices of people with allergic rhinitis, focusing on female patients who lived in an urban area in a hot, humid climate. The Morris and Winter theory of housing adjustment provided the theoretical base.

Climate change and perennial crop production: Evidence of yield impact and adaptation in California

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Perennial crops are economically important. They contribute to food security, providing essential nutrients that are often lacking in annual crops, and provide additional environmental benefits compared with annual crops. Despite their importance, empirical research on the impacts of climate change and adaptation on perennial crops remains ...

Success of coastal sage scrub restoration is influenced by local adaptations of shrub species

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Restoring plant communities is increasingly challenging with climate change. While practitioners have traditionally used local seed sources, many are recommending assisted migration, possibly from more extreme environments such as inland rather than coastal environments, for restoration.
