Understanding climate change-associated tree mortality is central to linking climate change impacts and forest structure and function. However, whether temporal increases in tree mortality are attributed to climate change or stand developmental processes remains uncertain. Furthermore, interpreting the climate change-associated tree mortality estimated from old forests for regional forests rest...

introduction climate change is a change in the statistical distribution of weather patterns when it lasts for an extended period of time. climate change may refer to a change in average weather conditions, or in the time variation of weather around long-term average conditions. climate change is caused by factors such as biotic processes, variations in solar radiation received by earth, plate t...

Climate science is coming under increasing pressure to deliver projections of future climate change at spatial scales as small as a few kilometres for use in impacts studies. But is our understanding and modelling of the climate system advanced enough to offer such predictions? Here we focus on the Atlantic-European sector, and on the effects of greenhouse gas forcing on the atmospheric and, to...

Climate law is increasingly recognised as a field in its own right, albeit still one in its infancy. The scope of climate law and its underlying legal constructs thus remain unsettled, making the practice of climate law both exciting and challenging. Adjudicating Climate Change: State, National, and International Approaches reflects this dual nature of climate law. Its treatment of the topic of...

a sensitivity analysis of the flood safety of solaimantangeh dam using a regional climate change simulation is presented. based on the output of the ccsm (community climate change system model) general circulation model, the nircm (north of iran regional climate model) computes regional scale output with 50 km spatial resolution and 21 vertical layers. using the sres (special report emission sc...

this research studies the potential impact of climate change on future trend and changes of two well known drought indicators namely rdi and spi in yazd meteorological station, in central part of iran. for this purpose, data of hadcm3 model that were resulted from gcm-runs based on the ipcc-sres scenarios of a2 and b2 were acquired and analyzed for projection of daily tmin, tmax and precipitati...

background: an important factor in the prevention of industrial accidents is the ability of employees to maintain awareness of the work situation, understand the information it holds, and predict how situations will develop. in the present study, we examined the role of fatalistic beliefs and safety climate in predicting occupational situation awareness (sa) among workers.   materials and metho...
