Multi‐Timescale Drought Evolution in Greece (1960–2022) From Station‐Based SPI and SPEI

open access: yesInternational Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Using homogenized data from 67 HNMS stations in Greece (1960–2022), we calculated SPI and SPEI at 1–12‐month scales to characterize meteorological to hydrological drought. We quantified the network‐based spatial extent of drought, compared SPI and SPEI drought signals, and tested changes with autocorrelation‐robust Mann–Kendall trends and Pettitt ...

Spatiotemporal Interactions of Land Use Change, Land Surface Temperature, and Vegetation Dynamics in China's Caohai National Nature Reserve

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Understanding the spatiotemporal dynamics of land use change (LUC), land surface temperature (LST), and vegetation indices is critical for assessing ecological changes and informing sustainable land management. This study investigates the long‐term interrelationships between LUC, LST, and vegetation indices in China's Caohai National Nature ...

Microclimatic Landscape Architecture: From Theory to Application

open access: yesUrban Science, 2022
Global climate change and urban heat island intensification are making many cities dangerously hot during heat waves. There is a need for a clear process for applying microclimate information in urban design to create cooler cities. A recent paper points

Divergent Responses of Fungal Communities to Vegetation Structural Complexity in Degraded Roadside Slopes Across Climatic Gradients

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Understanding how climate and vegetation structural complexity jointly shape fungal communities is essential for effective roadside slope restoration. To address this, we examined restoration effects on fungal diversity, community composition, and ecological networks across three climatically distinct regions: dry‐hot valley, subalpine, and ...

Assessing local heat stress and air quality with the use of remote sensing and pedestrian perception in urban microclimate simulations.

open access: yesScience of the Total Environment, 2021
Cities are increasingly confronted with multiple environmental and climatic stressors. Especially during heatwaves, street canyons are both producers and sufferers of air pollution and urban heat island (UHI) effects, with severe risks on public health ...
