Most of the classified biomes are identified by the dominant plants found in their communities. For example, grasslands are dominated by a variety of annual andperennial species of grass, while deserts are occ
These factors lead to a substantial increase in temperature across the basin, up to 5 °C, driven by changes in energy and water budgets. Under high greenhouse gas emissions scenarios, there are reductions in moisture convergence, precipitation, and evapotranspiration, primarily due to a positive ...
Biomes presently found at this latitude are considerably drier, and primarily consist of deserts (e.g., the Sahara Desert), savannas and woodland/shrubland. It is unsurprising then that Miocene NPP reconstructions at these latitudes appear relatively high compared to modern values (Fig. 4c). ...
Ecosystem services provided by terrestrial biomes, such as moisture recycling and carbon assimilation, are crucial components of the water, energy, and biogeochemical cycles. These biophysical processes are influenced by climate variability driven by dis
Although there was little indication that current distributions are primarily shaped by introduction dynamics, the patterns observed here might still be transient, with the spatial distribution and spread of future invasive species influenced by different drivers. Furthermore, the observed patterns and the...
from microalgae to fish larvae40.Acartiaspp. are primarily omnivorous (with a high degree of carnivore behaviour), feeding on phytoplankton, rotifers, and occasionally ciliates41, whereasTemoraspp. frequently switches its feeding behaviour,i.e., from omnivore to herbivore, based on season and on ...
In TR1, other bone tools dating around 3600 years ago and possibly earlier (Layer 3 to Context 015) are distinct from the Early to Mid Holocene bipoints. Instead, these tools are primarily made on fish spines with evidence for shaving (Fig. S11). Another tool is a thick unipoint made us...
Furthermore, most research has focused primarily on P and ET [42]. Droughts affected most parts of Brazil in last decades [43,44], with an increasing trend in droughts and heatwaves in some parts of the country [45]. Therefore, the main goal of this study was to understand drought ...
