Hot and cold deserts as eco‐evolutionary arenas for understanding plant resistance to multiple abiotic stressors

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT During their long evolutionary history, land plants have evolved a range of adaptations to different abiotic stressors. These help explain present‐day diversity and distribution patterns, as well as the potential resilience of natural and agricultural systems to a changing climate. Most previous research has focused on adaptation to individual

Reference evapotranspiration estimation inside greenhouses

open access: yesScientia Agricola, 2003
Because of the large area occupied by a class A pan, alternative methods have been sought to estimate reference evapotranspiration (Eto) inside greenhouses. The objective of this work was to compare ETo estimated by different methods inside and outside a

A Systemic Model for Understanding Business Interactions With Biodiversity and Ecosystems

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biodiversity loss and ecosystem degradation represent critical threats to human well‐being and economic resilience, challenging businesses to understand and manage their interdependence with natural systems. This study develops a systemic framework—the BioModel—that elucidates the reciprocal relationship between businesses, biodiversity, and ...

Automating Sustainability: How Climate Action Unlocks the ESG Potential of Industrial Robotics

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The convergence of Industry 4.0 and global sustainability goals presents a critical paradox: while automation drives efficiency, its net impact on comprehensive environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance remains contested. This study investigates the relationship between industrial robot and country‐level ESG performance across 63

Phylogenetic structure of conifers in regional floras in relation to climate and environmental heterogeneity worldwide

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Despite having only about 670 species worldwide, conifers are one of the ecologically and economically most important plant groups. They have a rich fossil record and previous studies have shown that their current diversity is the result of past radiations, extinction, and dispersal events, restricting many genera to either the Northern or Southern ...

Comparison of the Efficiency of Linear and Non-linear Time Series Models in Simulation and Prediction of Reference Evapotranspiration [PDF]

open access: yesنشریه جغرافیا و برنامه‌ریزی, 2018
Reference evapotranspiration (ET0) is one of the important factors to determine crop water requirement. Accurate estimation of reference evapotranspiration (ET0) value has a very important role in water resources management and optimizing agricultural ...

Asymmetric species turnover underpins the latitudinal diversity gradient in the Western Ghats biodiversity hotspot of India

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Latitudinal diversity gradients (LDGs), namely an increase in species richness from higher to lower latitudes, are one of ecology's best documented patterns, yet how the fundamental components of compositional mismatches (i.e. species gains and losses along a gradient) explain these patterns remains poorly understood.

Butterfly abundances but not patch occupancy buffered by vegetation heterogeneity during climatic extremes

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
As extreme climatic events are becoming more frequent, we need to understand what mechanisms could buffer populations to ensure their persistence. Fragmented populations may be especially vulnerable, as exemplified by species with metapopulation dynamics whose persistence is determined by a precarious balance between frequent local extinctions and ...
