Improving the community-temperature index as a climate change indicator
Climate change indicators are tools to assess, visualize and communicate the impacts of climate change on species and communities. Indicators that can be applied to different taxa are particularly useful because they allow comparative analysis to identify which kinds of species are being more affected.

متن کاملPhysiological Equivalent Temperature as Indicator for Impacts of Climate Change on Thermal Comfort of Humans
Using the measure of Physiologically Equivalent Temperature (PET) it is analysed how changes in the thermal environment can affect human well-being. Historical data used in this study have been assembled for the normal climate period 1961–1990 (CNTRL). Future conditions are calculated based on the period 2071–2100, for which simulated datasets are available, based on GCMs integrated with scenar...
متن کاملCommunity Capitals as Community Resilience to Climate Change: Conceptual Connections

Recent focus, however, is increasingly paid to community resilience. Community, placed at the intersection between the household and national levels of social organization, is cruci...
متن کاملUsing a ‘ tourism climate index ’ to examine the implications of climate change for climate as a tourism resource
Climate has a strong influence on the tourism and recreation sector and in some regions represents the natural resource on which the tourism industry is predicated. There has been little consideration of how climate change might affect the tourism climate resource or how such changes could alter the competitive relationships between tourism destinations. This study used a modified version of Mi...
