Genomic Signatures of Adaptation to a Precipitation Gradient in Nigerian Sorghum. [PDF]
G3 (Bethesda), 2018 Abstract Evolution of plants under climatic gradients may lead to clinal adaptation. Understanding the genomic basis of clinal adaptation in crops species could facilitate breeding for climate resilience. We investigated signatures of clinal adaptation in the cereal crop sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. [Moench]) to the precipitation gradient

Vertical precipitation gradients: a case study of Alpine valleys of northwestern Slovenia
Theoretical and Applied Climatology, 2020 There are currently 319 precipitation stations in Slovenia, but their density decreases with altitude. In mountainous areas, where the amount of precipitation is the highest and precipitation gradients are also the greatest, there are very few precipitation stations to be found.

Tubular precipitation and redox gradients on a bubbling template [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2004 Tubular structures created by precipitation abound in nature, from chimneys at hydrothermal vents to soda straws in caves. Their formation is controlled by chemical gradients within which precipitation occurs, defining a surface that templates the growing structure. We report a self-organized periodic templating mechanism producing

Avian Diversity along a Precipitation Gradient in Southern Africa
Zoodiversity, 2021 In April 2013, a transect c. 1100 km long with 100 points arranged in 5 sections was designed in northern Namibia between Ruacana Watefall (W) and Kongola (E) to study avian diversity in relation to gradual changes in precipitation (c. 350 mm in W to c.600 mm in E).

Microbiology Spectrum, 2023 Due to climate change, drought frequencies and severities are predicted to increase across the United States. Plant responses and adaptation to stresses depend on plant genetic and environmental factors. Understanding the effect of those factors on plant

South American precipitation dipole forced by interhemispheric temperature gradient
Scientific Reports, 2022 AbstractTropical South American hydroclimate sustains the world’s highest biodiversity and hundreds of millions of people. Whitin this region, Amazonia and northeastern Brazil have attracted much attention due to their high biological and social vulnerabilities to climate change (i.e. considered climate change hotspots). Still, their future response to

Frontiers in Fungal Biology, 2022 Plant communities and fungi inhabiting their phyllospheres change along precipitation gradients and often respond to changes in land use. Many studies have focused on the changes in foliar fungal communities on specific plant species, however, few have ...

Biotic mechanisms of community stability shift along a precipitation gradient [PDF]
Ecology, 2014 Understanding how biotic mechanisms confer stability in variable environments is a fundamental quest in ecology, and one that is becoming increasingly urgent with global change. Several mechanisms, notably a portfolio effect associated with species richness, compensatory dynamics generated by negative species covariance and selection for stable ...
