Determining organismal responses to climate change is one of biology's greatest challenges. Recent forecasts for future climates emphasize altered temperature variation and precipitation, but most studies of animals have largely focused on forecasting the outcome of changes in mean temperature. Theory suggests that extreme thermal variation and precipitation will influence species performance a...

The most important impacts of climate change relate to temperature and precipitation. Precipitation is particularly important, because changes in precipitation patterns may lead to floods or droughts in different areas. Also, precipitation is a major factor in agriculture and in recent years interest has increased in learning about precipitation variability for periods of months to annual and s...

[1] Relative impacts of multiple global change factors on ecohydrological processes in terrestrial ecosystems have not been carefully studied. In this study, we used a terrestrial ecosystem (TECO) model to examine effects of three global change factors (i.e., climate warming, elevated CO2, and altered precipitation) individually and in combination on runoff, evaporation, transpiration, rooting ...

strain induced precipitation in hsla-100 steel was investigated by conducting hotcompression and relaxation tests at temperature range of 850°c to 1100°c and strain rate of 0.001s-1 to 1s-1. the absence of dynamic recrystallization at temperatures below 1000°c was attributedto the influence of dynamic precipitation. the stress relaxation tests showed that strain inducedprecipitation is possible...

In this study, a comprehensive trend analysis was employed to study the spatiotemporal changes in precipitation characteristics with air temperature increasing over time. The nonparametric Mann–Kendall test and quantile regression methods were applied detect plausible temporal trends 11 extreme rainfall indices three study. results showed there little evidence suggest that increases maximum of ...
