This study is presented within the context that climate warming and sea-ice decline has been occurring throughout much of the Arctic over the past several decades, and that terrestrial ecosystems at high latitudes are sensitive to the resultant alterations in surface temperatures. Results are from analyzing interannual satellite records of vegetation greenness across a bioclimate gradient of th...

The spatial heterogeneity of recent decadal dynamics in vegetation greenness and biomass in response to changes in summer warmth index (SWI) was investigated along spatial gradients on the Arctic Slope of Alaska. Image spatial analysis was used to examine the spatial pattern of greenness dynamics from 1991 to 2000 as indicated by variations of the maximum normalized difference vegetation index ...

A bioclimate model predicting the presence or absence of aspen, Populus tremuloides, in western USA from climate variables was developed by using the Random Forests classification tree on Forest Inventory data from about 118,000 permanent sample plots. A reasonably parsimonious model used eight predictors to describe aspen’s climate profile. Classification errors averaged 4.5%, most of which we...

In this study, the present bioclimatic conditions and estimated changes of bioclimate over natural agricultural areas Adriatic territory (Albania, Bosnia Herzegovina, Croatia, Italy, Montenegro, Slovenia) are analysed presented. For purpose, a survey on De Martonne’s categories’ spatial distribution entire examined area individual countries is conducted for reference period (1981–2010) three mo...

Basal area is a key measure of forest stocking and an important proxy productivity in the face climate change. Black walnut ( Juglans nigra ) one most valuable timber species North America. However, little known about how black would change with differed bioclimatic conditions under In this study, we projected current future basal walnut. We trained different machine learning models using more ...

Abstract Temperate fisheries grounds are exposed to compound effects of jellyfish proliferations and fishing pressure, which affect local fisheries, cause economic losses, threaten seafood supply. Here, we quantify the interlink between climate variability blooms their impact on Japanese anchovy ( Engraulis japonicus ), in Korean coastal waters. We used a bioclimate dataset (2010–2019) that inc...

Flooding the remaining gaps of lignite open-pits and formation so-called open-pit lakes tends to become an increasingly common practice in Romania (in Oltenia Mining Basin, where deposit contained Dacian Romanian formations was is extracted through open-pits). This type ecological reconstruction former exploitation areas has been applied worldwide for quite a time, there are many references thi...

Assessment of the big cities bioclimate during heat wave (HW) events is a highly topical issue and focus point for many researchers. Reliable results assessment stress (HS) intensity HWs form basis development implementation adaptation measures. In Ukraine, first HW studies started only few years ago, thermal comfort conditions these atmospheric phenomena have not been explored yet. The purpose...
