High‐elevation endemic plants predicted to lose habitat from changing climate in Washington State
American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Abstract Premise High‐elevation plants face unique challenges from potential climate change impacts that will likely require upslope migration into increasingly smaller suitable habitat. This situation is particularly acute for endemic species that by definition occupy small geographic ranges.

Climate variability and changes in rainfall trends in the east coast of Peninsular Malaysia [PDF]
, 2013 The coastlines have been identified as the most vulnerable region with respect to response to hydrological hazards as a result of climate change and variability.

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Abstract Premise Changing climates are leading to more frequent and severe heat waves, potentially threatening plant populations. Both acclimation to stress and selection for heat‐escape or heat‐resistance phenotypes occur during heat waves. However, plastic responses and selection do not necessarily interact cohesively—even producing trait responses ...

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Abstract Premise Desert plant assemblages in southern California provide an opportunity to link patterns of community structure with climate‐driven vulnerability in a rapidly changing environment. California sustains an exceptionally diverse flora of approximately 4300 plant species, with 31% identified as endemic.

Success of coastal sage scrub restoration is influenced by local adaptations of shrub species
American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Abstract Premise Restoring plant communities is increasingly challenging with climate change. While practitioners have traditionally used local seed sources, many are recommending assisted migration, possibly from more extreme environments such as inland rather than coastal environments, for restoration.

Rainfall in Queensland: Part 2: Is the inter-annual variability in Queensland rainfall due to variability in rainfall frequency, intensity or both? [PDF]
, 2012 This report investigates the effect of changes in the number of rainy days, the amount of rain that falls on rainy days or a combination of the two on the inter-annual variations in Queensland rainfall. The objective is to determine the association between climate drivers and the occurrence of rainfall in Queensland.

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Abstract Premise Given the threats of climate change, we investigated the impact of high temperatures separately and in combination with reduced soil water on leaf heat tolerance for five oaks (Fagaceae) with overlapping ranges in southern California, USA: Quercus agrifolia and Q. chrysolepis (evergreen species), Q. douglasii and Q.

Advancing Understanding of Subjective Liveability for People With Disability
Australian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Modern liveability frameworks aim to enhance health and well‐being through equity‐based measures across built, natural, social, and economic environments, yet they often overlook the perspectives of people with disability. This study explored expectations of liveable neighbourhoods among adults with diverse disability experiences in urban and ...
