Fire activity has dramatically increased in Chile in recent years14,15. Fire season in this Andean country peaks in January and February at the height of the southern hemisphere’s summer16,17. Around 6000 fires are recorded every year18and a total of 1.7 million ha. burned during the last ...
Tree transpiration in the Amazon may enhance rainfall for downwind forests. Until now it has been unclear how this cascading effect plays out across the basin. Here, we calculate local forest transpiration and the subsequent trajectories of transpired wa
In a forest lived lots of animals. They had different ns. Giraffe hoped to be a cook and Lion wanted to be great runner, Elephant enjoyed taking photos and he would like to be a photographer (摄影师).But when Elephant talked about his dream with his friends, they all laughed at him....
The average FWI value for future spring fire sea-sons under Scenarios A2 and B2 shows an increase over most of the region. Compared with the baseline, FWI averages of spring fire season will increase by -0.40, 0.26 and 1.32 under Scenario A2, and increase by 0.60, 1.54 and 2.56 under ...
I expect to turn my kids into entrepreneurs, hoping to train one of my sons as a mechanic. A 40-year-old separated woman identified the persisting drought as the most significant event in her life. “Prices of everything have gone up, for instance, sugar now costs a hundred shillings ...
In total in the high season we are talking between 1000 and 1250 USD while in the low season income drops to values between 400 and 600 USD.” In short, euphoria driven by increasing global palm oil prices and demands for improved sustainable image among companies and the national government...
All critical infrastructures have lifetimes that span over several decades; thus, it is imperative to generate scientifically validated knowledge on the potential risks of climate change and future extreme weather events. Scientific knowledge of future climate pressures (such as forest fires, flooding, ...
The current boreal forest region remains sensitive to climate change and since the 1970s documented impacts include melting of permafrost and increases in the size, season, and severity of wildfires [24]. In this section, we describe plausible trajectories in terms of the general conditions needed...
control by the Communist Party (acting through the state) of the economy of the nation (in the name of the people, of course). To succeed in that cause, it was necessary to stifle and eradicate any dissent — real, imagined, actual, or potential — from the edicts of the Party (i....
The increase in the frequency and intensity of droughts is pointed out as one of the main factors altering biogeochemical cycles in the Amazon basin. An eco-nutritional approach using X-ray fluorescence micro-analysis (µXRF) is proposed to verify the
