(2) Land border was retrieved using the getMap() function of rworldmap library in R. Cl Code availability Authors calculated climate and land-use velocities using VoCC package of R statistical computing platform
we use a global dataset covering 41,835 species (65.1% of known tree species) to assess the spatial pattern of tree species’ phylogenetic endemism, its macroecological drivers, and how future
Results showed: (1) there was a critical elevation of 3400 m, with different NDVI responses to climate and human interventions above and below 3400 m. Below 3400 m, mean NDVI in each land use area and the whole region did not change with elevation due to compensative effects of decreasing...
We propose that intensive land-use in this area in recent decades has had a significant impact. The objectives of the study are to develop a quantitative model of the concurrent processes of climate change and land-use in North China, and to estimate the relative contributions of each on the...
Perturbations of Hg processes and fluxes show anticipated impacts due to changes in emission, climate, and land use. A detailed discussion of the relevant processes is found in the “Recent advances in understanding critical Hg cycling processes of global importance” section, and major disturbances ...
Geological Survey's Precipitation Runoff Modeling System (PRMS) model to examine the potential impacts of climate and landuse changes on the monthly streamflow of the Trent River basin on the lower coastal plain of eastern North Carolina. The model was first calibrated and then validated using ...
population means land shortages and an increase in demand for limited land and resources. With digital technologies such as cloud and machine learning, the remote detection of illegal logging and other harmful activities is possible through the aggregation and analysis of data to design targeted ...
"I hope this report will raise awareness among all people about the threats and opportunities posed by climate change to the land we live on and which feeds us," said Lee. The IPCC's Fifth Assessment Report, published in 2014, had found that agriculture, forestry, and other land use was...
The IPCC Special Report on Climate Change and Land, released Thursday, cautioned the global community to stop the irresponsible exploitation of the planet's natural resources, or reach a point of no return in the climate crisis. Agriculture, forestry, and land use changes are responsible for abo...
A Land Use Puzzle: How Do Forests, Croplands, and Residential Neighborhoods Interact with Climate?Earth's surface is like a giant reflector. Sometimes, the reflector is clean and bright, like an open field after snowfall, causing most of the incoming solar radiation to be returned to space. ...
