Leaf litter decomposition in tropical and temperate rainforests: teaching climate-driven ecosystem processes outside the science classroom.
(External Scientific Advisory Committe (ESAC), 2012)
Intensity of urban heat islands in tropical and temperate climates
(2017-12-01)
Nowadays, most of the Earth's population lives in urban areas. The replacement of vegetation by buildings and the general soil sealing, associated with human activity, lead to a rise in cities temperature, resulting in the ...
Current issues in tropical phenology: a synthesis
(2018-05-01)
We retrace the development of tropical phenology research, compare temperate phenology study to that in the tropics and highlight the advances currently being made in this flourishing discipline. The synthesis draws attention ...
Climatic records over the past 30 ka from temperate Australia e a synthesis from the Oz-INTIMATE workgroup
(2013)
Temperate Australia sits between the heat engine of the tropics and the cold Southern Ocean, encompassing
a range of rainfall regimes and falling under the influence of different climatic drivers. Despite this
heterogeneity, ...
Climate change evidence in Brazil from Köppen's climate annual types frequency
(2019-03-15)
This article proposes to use the Köppen classification to evidence climate change in Brazil. To do so, the average monthly temperature and precipitation data were computed for a set of 208 stations, representative of the ...
Vulnerability to climate warming and acclimation capacity of tropicaland temperate coastal organisms
(2015-11)
tEcological forecasting on the likely impacts of climate warming is crucial at a time when several ecosys-tems seem to be responding to this environmental threat. Among the most important questions are:which are the most ...
Vegetation, climate and fire regime changes in the Andean region of southern Chile (38°S) covaried with centennial-scale climate anomalies in the tropical Pacific over the last 1500 years
(2012)
Pollen and charcoal analysis from Laguna San Pedro (38°26'S, 71°19'W), a small closed-basin lake located within the present-day distribution of Araucaria- Nothofagus forest in the Temperate-Mediterranean Transition zone ...
Contrasted micro-eukaryotic diversity associated with Sphagnum mosses in tropical, subtropical and temperate climatic zones
(Springer, 2019-10)
Sphagnum-dominated ecosystem plays major roles as carbon sinks at the global level. Associated microbial communities, in particular, eukaryotes, play significant roles in nutrient fixation and turnover. In order to understand ...
