Leveraging machine learning and citizen science data to describe flowering phenology across South Africa

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Recent shifts in flowering times are an index of, and a response to, human driven climate change. However, most information on these flowering changes is heavily skewed to the northern hemisphere. This imbalance limits our understanding of how climate change is affecting ecosystems, including the mismatches of flowering times between species, increased

Evaluation of Satellite-Derived Estimates of Lake Ice Cover Timing on Linnévatnet, Kapp Linné, Svalbard Using In-Situ Data

Remote Sensing, 2022
Arctic lakes are sensitive to climate change, and the timing and duration of ice presence and absence (i.e., ice phenology) on the lake surface can be used as a climate indicator.

Consistent phenological shifts in the making of a biodiversity hotspot: the Cape flora [PDF]

, 2011
Background The best documented survival responses of organisms to past climate change on short (glacial-interglacial) timescales are distributional shifts. Despite ample evidence on such timescales for local adaptations of populations at specific sites,

Solar farms can mitigate negative impacts of whiplash weather on plant communities in a dryland ecosystem

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Utility‐scale solar energy (USSE) development generates novel questions regarding coupling clean energy production with terrestrial ecosystem services (e.g., forage production, pollinator support). We found that a USSE array sited in a fallowed cropland maintained a reseeded native plant community even a decade post‐restoration and that the array ...

SYN‐A, a naturally derived synergist, restores pyrethroid efficacy against cabbage stem flea beetle but negatively impacts its parasitoid Microctonus brassicae

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
SYN‐A, a naturally derived synergist, inhibited key metabolic pathways associated with pyrethroid insecticide resistance in cabbage stem flea beetle (CSFB) and its parasitoid Microctonus brassicae. SYN‐A restored pyrethroid efficacy against resistant CSFB allowing up to 80% reduction in application rates.

Brief communication: Improving lake ice modeling in ORCHIDEE-FLake model using MODIS albedo data [PDF]

The Cryosphere
The FLake lake model embedded in the ORCHIDEE land surface model was recently updated to better represent winter ice cover. MODIS albedo data and the Great Lakes ice cover fraction dataset over the Laurentian Great Lakes were used to calibrate and ...

Warming Climate-Induced Changes in Lithuanian River Ice Phenology

Sustainability
Due to rising surface air temperatures, river ice is shrinking dramatically in the Northern Hemisphere. Ice cover during the cold season causes fundamental changes in river ecosystems and has important implications for nearby communities and industries.
