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

open access: yesEcological 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.

Green-Down Protocol [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
The purpose of this resource is to observe plant green-down and report greendown data to help validate estimates of the end of the plant growing season. Students monitor the change in color of selected leaves of trees, shrubs or grasses.

Urbanization and Seasonality Increase Introduced Plant Consumption by the World's Southernmost Parrot 城市化与季节性增加了全球最南端鹦鹉对引入植物的取食

open access: yesIntegrative Conservation, EarlyView.
Urbanization may alter bird foraging. Austral Parakeets (Enicognathus ferrugineus) in Patagonia rely on introduced plants in urban areas, especially in winter, despite preferring natives in the wild. This seasonal reliance on introduced species highlights urbanization trade‐offs and underscores the need to manage green areas with native plants to ...

Diverse Responses of Vegetation Dynamics to Snow Cover Phenology over the Boreal Region [PDF]

open access: yesForests, 2019
Snow cover phenology plays an important role in vegetation dynamics over the boreal region, but the observed evidence of this interaction is limited. A comprehensive understanding of the changes in vegetation dynamics and snow cover phenology as well as the interactions between them is urgently needed. To investigate this, we calculated two indicators,

Seasonal Predictions and Their Applications in the Mediterranean Region: Part I—Sources of Predictability and Prediction Skill

open access: yesInternational Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
The ability to predict climate fluctuations at seasonal timescales offers significant socio‐economic benefits. However, limited understanding of predictability mechanisms and model errors hinders forecast quality. Recent research has improved forecasting systems and data quality.

Hidden Markov Quantile Models With Trends for Analysing Air Temperature Data

open access: yesInternational Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
There is the question of whether climate change, expressed by time‐trends in temperature, is of a heterogeneous nature or not. Here, the time‐trend heterogeneity argument has been investigated using Hidden Markov (HM) quantile time‐trends models in temperature time series.

Understanding the Snow Cover Climatology over Turkey from ERA5-Land Reanalysis Data and MODIS Snow Cover Frequency Product

open access: yesGeosciences, 2023
Understanding the distribution, patterns, and characteristics of snowfall and snow cover within a given region over extended periods is important. Snow climatology provides valuable insights into the seasonal and long-term variations in snowfall, helping

Shifts in phenology influence synchrony of flowering plants and their pollinators along an elevation gradient

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Climatic conditions alter the phenology of species, which may threaten the synchrony of biotic interactions. However, how phenological synchrony across entire communities of plants and their pollinators responds to varying environmental conditions remains poorly understood.
