Experimental warming and its legacy effects on root dynamics following two hurricane disturbances in a wet tropical forest. [PDF]
Glob Chang Biol, 2021 Our study measured root dynamics in response to a field experimental warming and two consecutive hurricanes, Irma and María, in a tropical forest of Puerto Rico. We found that root biomass and production decreased with experimental warming in the 7 months before the hurricanes. Following the hurricane disturbances, root biomass and production increased,

Pest categorisation of Spodoptera litura. [PDF]
EFSA J, 2019 Abstract The EFSA Panel on Plant Health (PLHP) performed a pest categorisation of Spodoptera litura (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) for the EU. S. litura is widely distributed across South and East Asia and Oceania. It is established in tropical and subtropical regions where there are no, or few, frost days each year.

Pest categorisation of Saperda tridentata. [PDF]
EFSA J, 2020 Abstract The EFSA Panel on Plant Health (PLHP) performed a pest categorisation of Saperda tridentata (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) for the EU. S. tridentata (elm borer) occurs in eastern North America. Ulmus americana and U. rubra are almost exclusively reported as hosts, apart from two 19th century records from the USA of larvae from Acer sp. and Populus

TreeGOER: A database with globally observed environmental ranges for 48,129 tree species
Global Change Biology, Volume 29, Issue 22, Page 6303-6318, November 2023., 2023 The TreeGOER database can be accessed from https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.7922927 and provides information for most known tree species of their environmental ranges for 38 bioclimatic, eight soil and three topographic variables. Where sufficient representative observations are available, the ranges provide useful preliminary estimates of suitable ...

Meteorological Applications, Volume 30, Issue 5, September/October 2023., 2023 Six distinct climate zones are identified in Iran: mild and humid, cool and sub‐humid, cold and temperate semi‐arid, warm and semi‐arid, cool and arid, and warm and hyperarid. The maximum precipitation occurs in the southern coastal plains of the Caspian Sea in autumn. The minimum precipitation occurs in southwestern Iran in summer.

Earth's Future, Volume 11, Issue 4, April 2023., 2023 Abstract Warming climate and precipitation changes induce notable shifts in climate zones. In this study, the latest generation of global climate models from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 (CMIP6) and the previous generation CMIP5 under high‐emission scenarios are used together with observations and applied to the Köppen‐Geiger ...

International Journal of Climatology, Volume 42, Issue 10, Page 5197-5217, August 2022., 2022 Simulations arising from global climate models can be directly used to understand the global climate. They are however in the form of multidimensional matrices, which makes the outputs difficult to compare and validate. Conversely, climate classifications simplify the complex interactions of the climate system and serve as a single, aggregated ...

Northward Expansion of Desert Climate in Central Asia in Recent Decades
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 49, Issue 11, 16 June 2022., 2022 Abstract Climate variation in Central Asia is examined using changes of climate classification to obtain geographically specific information of the variation across the region. Major results show the northward expansion of desert climate by over 100 km in mid‐latitudes of the region since the 1980s.

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 47, Issue 10, Page 2091-2101, October 2020., 2020 Abstract Aim Climate classification systems (CCSs) can be used to predict how species’ distributions might be altered by climate change and to increase the reliability of these estimates is an important goal in biogeographical research. We produce an objective, global climate classification system (CCS) at high temporal resolution based on plant ...
