For almost 30 years, an insect fungal disease has repressed defoliation caused by the spongy moth in North American hardwood forests. The fungus needs cool, moist weather, but computer models project that the effects of climate change will prevent the fungus from killing spongy moths, which could...

6.1Beyond the Bottom-Up and Top-Down Debate on Climate Change Education Climate is a dynamic interplay of the atmosphere, hydrosphere, cryosphere, biosphere, and lithosphere (Aspen Global Change Institute2019). Whereas weather is defined by fickle fluctuations from day to day, climate change is a...
Trying to understand the link between forest fires and climate change, and to predict the future, researchers look at the available fire statistics and try to reveal links between forest fire trends and weather pattern modifications that can be attributed to climate change. They also use fire ...
as extreme weather or climatic variation at range boundaries where individuals live at the limits of their physiological tolerances [8]. The overall consequences of these range shift dynamics are changes in local species richness and assemblages, which eventually may lead to shifts in the latitudinal...
this is followed by hot and very dry weather from March to June; and this is followed, in turn, by a hot rainy period from July to October. The minimum temperature occurs in January and the maximum in May or June, when it rises to a daily average of 105 °F (41 °C) in Khartoum...
and other properties ofseawater. Attempts have been made to fill the gaps in early measurements by using variousstatistical techniquesand “backward prediction” models and byassimilatingavailable observations into numericalweather predictionmodels. These techniques seek to estimate meteorological observations or...
