Isolation, Insularity and Resilience: A Review of the Geophysical, Socioeconomic, and Environmental Vulnerabilities of Gran Canaria and Lesvos Islands for Policy Interventions to Global Change

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The dynamic nature of small islands being geographically isolated and their perceived connectedness with global networks complicates research attempts to draw general conclusions on whether insularity leads to marginalization or strengthens their resilience for sustainable development.

SQUARE CONTRIBUTION TO URBAN MICROCLIMATE

, 2022
Devido as atuais dinâmicas e configurações do ambiente urbano, torna-se necessário que a paisagem construída e natural atue de forma equilibrada, garantindo qualidade ambiental ao ambiente construído. As praças – objeto deste estudo – proporcionam benefícios à vida pública urbana, além de influenciar na esfera ambiental.

The Influence of Urban Morphology on the Urban Microclimate.

Air and Water Components of the Environment Conference, 2019
In this paper, GIS techniques and satellite data are used in order to analyze the impact of the two types of urban design existing in the neighborhoods of Bucharest on the local microclimate. The two types of urban morphology considered are separated in time by a natural event, the earthquake from 1977, a phenomenon that has changed the evolution of ...

‘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 ...

A study on the coupled effects of climate and built environment elements at urban block scale——A case study of Fengtai district in Beijing

Journal of Asian Architecture and Building Engineering
In recent years, rapid city development has significantly impacted the microclimate environments in urban blocks. Many studies have shown that varied built-up environmental factors lead to corresponding degrees of influence on microclimate.

The Synergistic Relationship between Urban Building Energy Performance, Microclimate, and Urban Elements [PDF]

Port Said Engineering Research Journal
In recent years, the accuracy of assessing the energy performance of buildings in cities has relied not only on building attributes but also on urban elements (block form, urban canyon, vegetation, blue spaces {refers to water features}, and pavement ...

Sensing Urban Microclimates

, 2015
Our understanding of the relationship between city morphology, materiality, and urban microclimate has been limited due to the lack of availability of urban microclimate data. In order to better understand the influence that building geometries, trees, or topographical variations play in urban microclimates, it is necessary to utilize measuring ...

Soil and microbial responses to wild ungulate trampling depend more on ecosystem type than trampling severity

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Physical trampling is a ubiquitous activity of walking vertebrates, but is poorly understood as a mechanism impacting biogeochemical cycling in soil. Lack of detailed knowledge of soil abiotic–biotic interactions underlying trampling effects, and the primary sources of ...
