Indian Summer Monsoon Rainfall: Implications of Contrasting Trends in the Spatial Variability of Means and Extremes. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
India's agricultural output, economy, and societal well-being are strappingly dependent on the stability of summer monsoon rainfall, its variability and extremes.

Spatial and temporal variability of rainfall and their effects on hydrological response in urban areas – a review [PDF]

Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2017
In urban areas, hydrological processes are characterized by high variability in space and time, making them sensitive to small-scale temporal and spatial rainfall variability.

Environmental heterogeneity modulates the effect of plant diversity on the spatial variability of grassland biomass

Nature Communications, 2023
The insurance hypothesis posits that more diverse communities are more stable through time. Here, the authors show that plant biodiversity reduces the spatial variability of productivity in grassland communities, demonstrating that the insurance ...

Holocene seasonal temperature evolution and spatial variability over the Northern Hemisphere landmass

Nature Communications, 2022
The origin of the temperature divergence between Holocene proxy reconstructions and model simulations remains controversial, but it possibly results from potential biases in the seasonality of reconstructions or in the climate sensitivity of models. Here

Deciphering Soil Spatial Variability through Geostatistics and Interpolation Techniques

Sustainability, 2020
Detailed knowledge of soil properties is fundamentally important for optimizing agriculture practices and management. Meanwhile, the spatial distribution of soil physicochemical properties is considered a fundamental input of any sustainable agricultural

Spatial variability of crop responses to agronomic inputs in on-farm precision experimentation

Precision Agriculture, 2020
Within-field variability of crop yield levels has been extensively investigated, but the spatial variability of crop yield responses to agronomic treatments is less understood.

Spatial variability of Chondrichthyes in the northern Mediterranean

Scientia Marina, 2020
Thanks to the availability of the MEDITS survey data, a standardized picture of the occurrence and abundance of demersal Chondrichthyes in the northern Mediterranean has been obtained.

Patterns of variability in early life traits of a Mediterranean coastal fish [PDF]

, 2013
Spawning dates and pelagic larval duration (PLD) are early life traits (ELT) crucial for understanding life cycles, properly assessing patterns of connectivity and gathering indications about patchiness or homogeneity of larval pools.

Spatial variability of precipitation regimes over Turkey [PDF]

, 2010
Turkish annual precipitation regimes are analysed to provide large-scale perspective and redefine precipitation regions. Monthly total precipitation data are employed for 107 stations (1963–2002).

Pink landscapes: 1/f spectra of spatial environmental variability and bird community composition [PDF]

, 2002
Temporal and spatial environmental variability are predicted to have reddened spectra that reveal increases in variance with the period or length sampled. However, spectral analyses have seldom been performed on ecological data to determine whether these
