Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 34, Issue 7, July 2025.ABSTRACT Aim Correlative species distribution models (SDMs) are widely used to project species' responses to global changes. The climatic niche of a species is calibrated under current climate conditions and then projected in space and/or time, making model extrapolation an important concern.

A Simple Approach to Represent Irrigation Water Withdrawals in Earth System Models
Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, Volume 17, Issue 4, April 2025.Abstract The increasing demand for water, driven by population growth and agricultural expansion, underscores the need for accurate representation of irrigation in Earth System Models (ESMs). While a few current‐generation ESMs incorporate irrigation, their representation of water withdrawals remains overly simplistic.

To vegetable: Seasons that require us
Crop Science, Volume 65, Issue 2, March/April 2025.Abstract Domestication of cereals tracks with the natural life cycle of plants in the Poaceae family, but vegetables represent a different modality and often possess a truncated life cycle. The evolution of vegetable biodiversity required curatorial work each growing season that differed in important ways from curation of grains or perennial crops ...
