Integrating remote‐sensing and meteorological data to identify key drivers of the potential distribution of a grassland grasshopper

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
An ensemble model achieved excellent accuracy (AUC = 0.973) in predicting the potential distribution of O. decorus asiaticus. Climate (temperature & August precipitation) and vegetation type are the primary drivers defining the species' suitable habitats.

Not everyone is shrinking: increases in body mass and wing length in a Sand Martin (Riparia riparia) population in northwestern Italy over two decades

Ibis, EarlyView.
In recent decades, vertebrates, particularly birds, have exhibited notable morphological changes in response to climate change. In birds, these temporal trends usually entail a decrease in body mass and an increase in wing length, sometimes interpreted as a compensatory strategy to maintain migration.

Tree growth response and adaptation to climate change and climate extremes: From canopy to stem

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
This review synthesizes the responses and adaptations of tree growth, including canopy phenology, intra‐annual wood formation dynamics, and annual stem growth, to climate change and climate extremes. It highlights key knowledge gaps for future research to support sustainable forest management and enhance forest carbon storage under ongoing climate ...

Shaping future forests: how can ecophysiology support climate‐smart forest management?

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Climate change, particularly the associated increase in extreme events and disturbances, threatens the numerous environmental, social, and economic benefits that forests provide, both locally and globally. Heat and drought pose significant risks to forest ecosystems; the anticipated future climate is expected to exacerbate this trend ...

Vast, overlooked peat, and organic soils in Brazil's Cerrado: carbon storage, dynamics, and stability

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Tropical peatlands are critical for climate mitigation due to their dual role as major carbon sinks and methane sources. In rainforests, high and stable rainfall supports peat accumulation in tropical climates. However, groundwater‐fed peatlands in seasonally dry tropical ecosystems remain poorly understood, despite their potential importance ...

VEGETATION HOMOGENEOUS REGIONS USING NDVI VARIABILITY

, 2017
The classification techniques, such as cluster analysis, used in biological areas, in the plants and animals classification keys, are also useful for defining homogeneous regions, for climate data or for identification or monitoring of vegetation.

Diversity affects microclimate temperature and humidity: an overview of the evidence and major unanswered questions

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Climate change is increasing global temperatures, increasing atmospheric drying, and driving more severe and frequent drought. Plants can cool and humidify microclimates through sensible and latent heat exchange. Higher diversity plant communities can modify microclimates more strongly than lower diversity plant communities, creating the ...
