Spatial variation and predictors of plant species' intrinsic climate sensitivity across the conterminous United States

Ecography, EarlyView.
Understanding how species' sensitivity to climate varies spatially across their ranges and elucidating the important causes is essential for identifying ecologically meaningful geographic units and conservation actions for biodiversity. In this study, we estimated climatic occurrence niches of vascular plants to explore the spatial variation in species'

THE GLACIER COMPLEXES OF THE MOUNTAIN MASSIFS OF THE NORTH-WEST OF INNER ASIA AND THEIR DYNAMICS

Geography, Environment, Sustainability, 2011
The subject of this paper is the glaciation of the mountain massifs Mongun-Taiga, Tavan-Boghd-Ola, Turgeni-Nuru, and Harhira-Nuru. The glaciation is represented mostly by small forms that sometimes form a single complex of dome-shaped peaks. According to

Influence of Habitat Use on Prey Capture Behavior and Kinematics in the Pyrenean Brook Newt (Calotriton asper)

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Caves are extreme environments that impose stringent selective pressures on organisms. Consequently, many cave dwellers show extreme adaptations such as the loss of eyes, depigmentation, and a low resting metabolic rate. Yet, how the initial stages of adaptation to these extreme environments take place remains poorly understood.

A review of topographic controls on moraine distribution [PDF]

, 2014
Ice-marginal moraines are often used to reconstruct the dimensions of former ice masses, which are then used as proxies for palaeoclimate. This approach relies on the assumption that the distribution of moraines in the modern landscape is an accurate ...

Internal structure of a Himalayan debris-covered glacier revealed by borehole optical televiewing

Journal of Glaciology, 2023
Characterising the structures within glaciers can give unique insight into ice motion processes. On debris-covered glaciers, traditional structural glaciological mapping is challenging because the lower glacier is hidden by the supraglacial debris layer.

Station‐Based Assessment of Sub‐Seasonal Climate Trends in the Tyrolean Alps (Austria)

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
In this study, we quantify the magnitude and significance of sub‐seasonal trends in the Tyrolean Alps (Austria) by collecting, processing and analysing meteorological observations from a dense network of climate stations. Our analysis indicates a warming rate of 0.43°C/dec over 1964–2023, greater sub‐seasonal trend variability when the analysis window ...

Mass Addition to Timpanogos Rock Glacier: Debris‐Covered Snow and the Importance of Interannual Variability in Headwall Erosion and Climate

Geophysical Research Letters
The processes of ice incorporation into rock glaciers have been difficult to quantify in both permafrost and non‐permafrost conditions. Here, we develop a numerical model that regardless of the presence of permafrost, reveals how debris eroded from ...

Accelerated Volume Loss in Glacier Ablation Zones of NE Greenland, Little Ice Age to Present

Geophysical Research Letters, 2019
Mountain glaciers at the periphery of the Greenland ice sheet are a crucial freshwater and sediment source to the North Atlantic and strongly impact Arctic terrestrial, fjord, and coastal biogeochemical cycles. In this study we mapped the extent of 1,848

The Challenge of Non-Stationary Feedbacks in Modeling the Response of Debris-Covered Glaciers to Climate Forcing

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2021
Ongoing changes in mountain glaciers affect local water resources, hazard potential and global sea level. An increasing proportion of remaining mountain glaciers are affected by the presence of a surface cover of rock debris, and the response of these ...

Heat, Health and Holidays: Reported Heat Related Adjustments to Australian Tourist Behaviour

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
This study assessed how climate‐related hazards affect Australian tourists' travel planning. While 80% of tourists report no impact, the 20% who do experience disruption most commonly change their activities, timing, or destination, with heat and rain affecting the same proportion of tourists across beach, city, nature, and family tourism types ...
