How Thunderstorms Are Changing in Mexico: Trends and Characteristics

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Thunderstorm days in Mexico have increased significantly since 1992, with pronounced regional and seasonal contrasts. Increasing moisture emerges as the most spatially coherent environmental signal. At the same time, enhanced instability characterizes northeastern and central Mexico, revealing distinct regional controls on thunderstorm activity and ...

Food Security Versus Environmental Health: The Nitrogen Dilemma

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Nitrogen is an essential element for plant growth and, consequently, crop production. However, the cycling of nitrogen in the environment can have negative effects. Here, we review the historical development of scientific and public awareness of these effects and the influence this has had on political action to control them.

A talus rock glacier in Nantlle Valley, North Wales

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Landforms comprising mixtures of fine and coarse sediment and deposited during late glacial times are ubiquitous in the British mountains. In many cases, their interpretation has often proved contentious; as a result, the non‐generic term discrete debris accumulations (DDA) has been used to describe them and, over the last 50 years, some have ...

Southern Portugal hydroclimate of the last millennium from near‐annually resolved speleothem records

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hydroclimate in Portugal is influenced by the North Atlantic subtropical high‐pressure system (the Azores High) and by internal climate modes, most prominently the North Atlantic Oscillation, which may shift in position and/or intensity due to anthropogenic climate change.

Late Quaternary lake filling and drying in northern Australia's largest freshwater lake

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Lake Woods, Jurrkulu, is northern Australia's largest freshwater lake filled today in strong Indo–Australian summer monsoons (IASM) to maximum depths of ~5 m. On the western margins of the lake, two large arcuate ridges occur 20 to 40 m above the lake floor and inset within these are other mid‐elevation lake deposits, such as depositional ...

Assessing plant water status: Part 2 – Non‐destructive and remote sensing approaches

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Precise, real time and non‐destructive assessment of plant water status is important for advancing plant physiological understanding, optimizing water usage, improving crop resilience and supporting precision agriculture in the face of increasingly variable climatic conditions.

Living on the edge: Habitat characteristics of northern myotis at the periphery of its distribution

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
Northern myotis selected tall trees with minimal decay, in patches with other roosting options. In our study area, these trees occurred in narrow bands within an agricultural matrix, differing from contiguous forest at the core of the species' distribution. Nevertheless, bats selected the tallest trees in the densest patches available.

Modeling effects of environmental conditions and hunter activity on Montezuma quail harvest in Arizona

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
Models of spatiotemporal variation in hunter harvest show that monsoon precipitation and changes in hunter behavior and composition are the primary drivers underlying variation in annual harvest of Montezuma quail. The demographic structure of the previous year's harvest was also strongly associated with the magnitude and rate of annual harvest ...
