Organisms in natural environments experience diel temperature fluctuations, including sporadic extreme conditions, rather than constant temperatures. Studies based mainly on model organisms have tended to focus on responses to average temperatures or short-term heat stress, which overlooks the potential impact of daily fluctuations, including stressful daytime periods and milder night-time peri...

climate change has direct and indirect consequences on crop production and food security. agriculture and cropproduction is one of the factors which depend on the weather conditions and it provides the human requirements inmany aspects. the objective of this study is to assess the impacts of future climatic change on irrigated rice yieldusing the ceres-rice model in the southern coast of caspia...

introductionit is expected that projected changes in the frequency and severity of extreme climate events, such as increased frequency of heat stress, droughts and flooding will have significant consequences on water resources. increasing pressure on water resources due to climatic and anthropogenic changes as well as increasing competition among users is recognized challenges worldwide. global...

Hydrologic regime is highly dependent on climate change, as hydrologic cycle components are directly influenced by climatic conditions. This paper analyzes the impacts of climate change on the hydrologic regime of the Atrak River basin in the northeast of Iran. It drains to the Caspian Sea. The data collected at 11 hydrometeorological stations were examined to detect trends in hydroclimatologic...

Rangelands are one of the most vulnerable parts concerning the climatechanges‟ impacts. These impacts are even stronger in the arid and semi-arid areas whererangeland ecosystems are in critical conditions. Therefore, it is crucial to figure out theactual dynamics of climate variations on the rangelands. The aim of this research was todetermine climate changes in Khabr rangeland, Kerman, Iran. S...

zayanderoud basin is one of the important agricultural areas in country level because of climatic variety and resuscitative water of zayanderoud river. since frost phenomenon especially late spring frost incurs great damages on fruit trees and agricultural products of this region, it is necfessary to study frost in this basin.in this research, the intensity of frost during cold period and sprin...

hammerstein-wiener (hw) models are capable in describing nonlinear dynamic systems. these models are nonlinear and have been widely used in a wide range of sciences due to their simplicity and having a physically-based concept. in this research, for the first time in hydrology and water resources management, three different structures of these models using daily temperature and precipitation da...
