Modelling strategies for predicting the potential impacts of climate change on the natural distribution of species have often focused on the characterization of a species’ bioclimate envelope. A number of recent critiques have questioned the validity of this approach by pointing to the many factors other than climate that play an important part in determining species distributions and the dynam...

The aim of this study is to present a thermal human bioclimate analysis of Hungary by means of mapping, useing multiple linear regressions. The present study links geographical information with climatological data in order to generate a spatial distribution of PET values of a region. The distribution of average PET values of seasons are drawn at 1 km resolution. Meteorological data used to draw...

Global climate change is recognized as an important determining factor for the future distributions of marine organisms, notably fishes and invertebrates. Shifting of distribution range may affect global marine fisheries and have large socio-economic implications. However, globalscale evaluation of the impact of climate change on marine species is lacking. In this paper, we develop a dynamic bi...

Satellite-based ocean color measurements indicate clear evidence for bioclimate interactions in the tropical Pacific associated with El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO). Recent modeling studies have demonstrated that ocean biology can potentially affect the climate through the penetration depth of solar radiation in the upper ocean (Hp), a primary parameter in coupling biology to physics in the...

Sustainability of tundra vegetation under changing climate on the Yamal Peninsula, northwestern Siberia, home to the world’s largest area of reindeer husbandry, is of crucial importance to the local native community. An integrated investigation is needed for better understanding of the effects of soils, climate change and grazing on tundra vegetation in the Yamal region. In this study we applie...

The changing climate is closely related to changes in the bioclimate. This research deals with present bioclimate and its projected evolution over entirety of natural agricultural lands south-eastern Europe individual countries (Bulgaria, Greece, Kosovo, N. Macedonia, Romania, Serbia). For this purpose, an ultrahigh spatial resolution de Martonne bioclimatic index pattern was elaborated analyse...
