Stochastic Modelling of Daily Precipitation in Semi‐Arid Regions Using Markov Chains and Parametric Distributions

open access: yesInternational Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
This study applies stochastic rainfall models combining Markov Chains with gamma and mixed exponential distributions to a semi‐arid climate in Northeast Brazil. Model structures were evaluated using Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC), with maximum likelihood (MLM) for parameter estimation and cumulative distribution functions (CDFs) for validation ...

Compound Hot‐Dry Days (CHDDs) and Their Implications on Maize Yields in the Free State Province, South Africa

open access: yesInternational Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Compound hot‐dry events occurring during the maize growing period are increasing significantly (p < 0.05) with time, with the median values ranging from 93 to 120 days. El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) influences the variability of compound hot‐dry events with high significance (p < 0.05) positive Pearson correlation.

Precision Restoration to Minimize Soil Loss in a Watershed in the Atlantic Forest Domain

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Turvo River Watershed, located in the Zona da Mata region of Minas Gerais and part of the Doce River Basin, faces serious problems of erosion and soil degradation, which compromise and reduce the quality of local water resources. Given this scenario, it is essential to implement environmental recovery strategies that prioritize the ...

Moderate Fire Temperatures Affect the Structure of Clayey Oxisol Aggregates

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Wildfires have become increasingly frequent and intense worldwide, raising concerns about their impacts on soil systems. However, the thermal responses of clay‐rich Oxisols, dominated by Fe and Al oxides, remain poorly understood. In this study, samples from the 0 to 5 cm layer of six Oxisols were subjected to controlled heating at ...

The native flora of the Redberry Lake Biosphere Region (Saskatchewan, Canada): taxonomy, biogeography, habitats and conservation

open access: yesNordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
This study reports for the first time a checklist of native vascular plants and provides a comprehensive analysis of the flora of the Redberry Lake Biosphere Region (RLBR) in the province of Saskatchewan, Canada. To complete an inventory of the regional flora, I conducted intensive field investigations during 2010–2025 and employed detailed examination

Structural stability of plant–pollinator interactions despite seasonal abundance of long‐tongued hawkmoths

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Seasonal environmental cycles affect plant–pollinator interactions by altering plant phenology. Periods of low resource availability can filter pollinators and reduce the complexity of interaction networks, but the extent to which the functional morphology of pollinators influences such filtering remains unclear.
