Best environmental predictors of breeding phenology differ with elevation in a common woodland bird species

Ecology and Evolution, 2020
Temperatures in mountain areas are increasing at a higher rate than the Northern Hemisphere land average, but how fauna may respond, in particular in terms of phenology, remains poorly understood.

Assessing Snow Phenology over the Large Part of Eurasia Using Satellite Observations from 2000 to 2016

Remote Sensing, 2020
Snow plays an important role in meteorological, hydrological and ecological processes, and snow phenology variation is critical for improved understanding of climate feedback on snow cover.

Complex relationships between climate and reproduction in a resident montane bird

Royal Society Open Science, 2023
Animals use climate-related environmental cues to fine-tune breeding timing and investment to match peak food availability. In birds, spring temperature is a commonly documented cue used to initiate breeding, but with global climate change, organisms are

Extreme Climate Events in Morocco: Historical Analysis and Future Projections Based on CMIP6 Simulations

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Historical observations and bias‐corrected CMIP6 projections reveal intensifying warm extremes, declining cold events and increasingly irregular precipitation patterns across Morocco. Future warming, particularly under SSP5‐8.5, produces an almost linear amplification of heat, aridity and hydrological stress, leading to longer droughts and more intense

Using by‐catch data from wildlife surveys to quantify climatic parameters and timing of phenology for plants and animals using camera traps

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, 2020
Gaining a better understanding of global environmental change is an important challenge for conserving biodiversity. Shifts in phenology are an important consequence of environmental change.

Satellite Remote Sensing of Alpine Vegetation Dynamics: Challenges and Perspectives. [PDF]

Glob Chang Biol
Satellite greening has become a key tool for monitoring alpine vegetation change, but a positive vegetation‐index trend is not an ecological observation in itself. This perspective shows that interpreting alpine greening requires addressing two sequential challenges: methodological complexity, which can bias trends during image processing, and ...

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.

High-latitude snowfall as a sensitive indicator of climate warming: A case study of Heilongjiang Province, China

Ecological Indicators, 2021
While global distribution and dynamics of snow extent and snow depth have been intensely studied, the response of snowfall events to global warming is complex and remains unclear in current literature.

A multimodel intercomparison study of variable‐resolution global models with grid refinement over the Arctic and Antarctic

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
We document the protocol and first results from the first ever coordinated multimodel variable‐resolution experiment set with refinement over the polar regions. We find that the refinement generally yields model‐dependent effects. The most consistent improvement is an amelioration of the upper‐level cold bias in the polar regions that translates into ...

‘Using anuran community diversity and Pseudacris crucifer to predict landscape quality across a land use gradient'

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
As human‐modified landscape and climate changes proliferate, maintaining biodiversity and understanding the function and quality of available habitat is imperative. As anurans (frogs/toads) such as Pseudacris crucifer, can be an indicator species of habitat quality and ecosystem productivity, studying the anuran community in a mixed‐land use region ...
