Observed and projected changes in temperature and precipitation in the core crop region of the humid pampa, Argentina
(MDPI AG, 2021-02)
The core crop region of the Humid Pampa is one of the most productive agricultural lands around the world and depends highly on climate conditions. This study assesses climate variability, climate extremes, and observed ...
Climate change in the light of integral ecology
(Universidad de Malta. Facultad de Teología, 2021-12)
There is no doubt that climate change is a crucial issue on the global agenda of the countries organised under the orbit of the United Nations. It is a human-made disturbance in the energy balance of the earth’s climate ...
Climate change and its impacts: Perception and adaptation in rural areas of Manizales, Colombia
(Taylor & Francis, 2016-05)
Tropical social-ecological systems are highly vulnerable to climate change, given the limited natural climate variability in the tropics. Tropical rural populations, with livelihoods dependent on agriculture, are particularly ...
Climate in the Monte Desert: Past trends, present conditions, and future projections
(Academic Press Ltd - Elsevier Science Ltd, 2009-02)
This paper documents the main features of climate and climate variability across the Monte Desert for the Last Glacial Maximum, the Glacial-Interglacial transition, and the Holocene on the basis of proxy records and for ...
CLARIS-La Plata Basin: Regional hydroclimate variability, uncertainties and climate change scenarios
(Inter-Research, 2016-04)
The CLARIS-LPB project, funded from 2008 to 2012 by the 7th Framework Programme of the European Commission, aimed at projecting regional climate change impacts in the La Plata Basin (LPB) in southeastern South America ...
Out of sight, out of mind: Phylogenetic and taxonomic gaps imply great underestimations of the species’ vulnerability to global climate change
(Associacao Brasileira de Ciencia Ecologica e Conservacao, 2021-04)
The study of the species’ climatic niche is an excellent proxy of their vulnerability to global climate change. It is well known that species with greater niche marginality or a smaller niche breadth are most vulnerable ...
A Europe–South America network for climate change assessment and impact studies
(Springer, 2009-11)
The goal of the CLARIS project was to build an integrated European-South American network dedicated to promote common research strategies to observe and predict climate changes and their consequent socio-economic impacts ...
Climate Change and Violence in Post-Conflict Colombia
(IGI Global, 2020-12)
The aim is to explain the link between climate-related issues and violent patterns in Colombia after the 2016 peace agreements. The main premise is that the effects of an erratic climate has an indirect but relevant influence ...
The impact of climate change on the geographical distribution of two vectors of Chagas disease: implications for the force of infection
(The Royal Society, 2015-04-05)
Chagas disease, caused by the parasite Trypanosoma cruzi, is the most important vector-borne disease in Latin America. The vectors are insects belonging to the Triatominae (Hemiptera, Reduviidae), and are widely distributed ...
Integrating genetics and suitability modelling to bolster climate change adaptation planning in Patagonian nothofagus forests
(2017)
We investigated the impact of past changes in habitat suitability on the current patterns of genetic diversity of two southern beeches (Nothofagus nervosa and Nothofagus obliqua) in their eastern fragmented range in ...
