An important criticism of bioclimate envelope models is that many wide-ranging species consist of locally adapted populations that may all lag behind their optimal climate habitat under climate change, and thus should be modeled separately. Here, we apply a bioclimate envelope model that tracks habitat of individual populations to estimate adaptational lags for 15 wide-ranging forest tree speci...

Climate change has already altered the distribution of marine fishes. Future predictions of fish distributions and catches based on bioclimate envelope models are available, but to date they have not considered interspecific interactions. We address this by combining the species-based Dynamic Bioclimate Envelope Model (DBEM) with a size-based trophic model. The new approach provides spatially a...

Weather and climate conditions can be important a decision factor for travel plans or outdoor sport events. It is to quantify thermal comfort other related factors different applications destinations make the results easily accessible visitors attendees. This analysis has provided quantified comfort, heat stress climate-related factors. A relevant approach visualization of thresholds in Climate...

Weather, climate and tourism are interconnected in many different ways. All of them are of both global and local significance. Weather and/or climate information is of interest for tourists and the tourism industry. Crucial for tourism is information on thermal comfort or thermal stress conditions. Thermal indices, i.e., physiologically equivalent temperature, can deliver relevant information f...

In order to review the present status of bioclimate research and weather-health forecasting in Japan, development is first described briefly for the periods of the first and second halves of the 20th Century. Important topics for further development are demonstrated to be: temperature change; lifestyle changes; historical approaches used such as weather-related proverbs, old documents, etc.; an...

the assessment of the thermal bioclimate is based on the human energy balance and derived indices such as Physiologically equivalent temperature (Pet) or Universal thermal Climate index (UtCi). these two indices were compared over a period of ten year based on hourly data in a middle european city with a temperate climate. the analysis performed shows that the differences obtained result from t...
