Seasonal species interactions minimize the impact of species turnover on the likelihood of community persistence [PDF]
arXiv, 2015 Many of the observed species interactions embedded in ecological communities are not permanent, but are characterized by temporal changes that are observed along with abiotic and biotic variations. While work has been done describing and quantifying these changes, little is known about their consequences for species coexistence.

State-space modeling of intra-seasonal persistence in daily climate indices: a data-driven approach for seasonal forecasting [PDF]
arXiv, 2018 Existing methods for diagnosing predictability in climate indices often make a number of unjustified assumptions about the climate system that can lead to misleading conclusions. We present a flexible family of state-space models capable of separating the effects of external forcing on inter-annual time scales, from long-term trends and decadal ...

Seasonal changes of littoral transport and beach width and resulting effect on protective structures [PDF]
The shorelines of Maryland's portion of the Chesapeake Bay exhibit seasonal changes in direction of littoral transport and resulting beach width. Observation and study of this process at selected locations emphasizes the necessity of study for a complete

How Competitive Is Myanmar's Rice Sector? A Comparison of Production Costs and Efficiency
Agribusiness, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper analyzes the cost competitiveness of rice production in Myanmar by examining production costs, cost efficiency, and the potential effect of improving cost efficiency on the country's global competitiveness. To achieve this, we conduct a comparative analysis of production costs among major rice‐producing countries and estimate the ...

Delayed Seasonal Cycle and African Monsoon in a Warmer Climate [PDF]
arXiv, 2009 Increasing greenhouse gases will change many aspects of the Earth's climate, from its annual mean to the frequency of extremes such as heat waves and droughts. Here we report that the current generation of climate models predicts a delay in the seasonal cycle of global rainfall and ocean temperature in response to increasing greenhouse gases, with ...
