A few palm trees shed fronds in our neighborhood, but this won’t damage even a parked car. It is nothing like being in the Northeast where an oak tree can destroy a house due to the weight being substantially near the top of the tree. (A friend’s house in the Boston suburbs was ...
Too little water has a greater negative influence than high-rainfall events in various cropping systems (Jalota et al., 2013). Serious water shortage during kernel filling resulted in earlier senescence and a shorter grain filling period as well as lower green flag-leaf area perseverance in ...
Some recent cold weather events are puzzling to global warming researchers, in terms of climate model expectations. Especially so for the ‘Center for… Researchers probe a conundrum: If the world is warming, why are our winters getting colder? Share this: It’s warming, but not as they thou...

Climate change is real and it's getting worse. Global temperature averages are creeping upward, seas are warming, rising and becoming more acidic, and extreme weather events such as droughts, wildfires, floods and powerful storms are becoming more common. The threat is so great that humanity mu...
For each GCM, we summarize annual projected burned area by ecoregion and simulate individual wildfire events as described in Sleeter et al.20. During the historical period, ecoregion-specific fire severity distributions are calculated based on actual distributions of fire severity from a national ...
Desertification has led to serious environmental and social problems, such as biological productivity de- cline, soil quality degradation, biodiversity loss, and the increase of sand storm events (Le Houérou, 1996). In addition, it also leads to the decrease of carbon se- questration and the ...
Climate change effects on mitigation measures: The case of extreme wind events and Philippines' biofuel plan Biofuel production has increased dramatically over the past decade, among other to mitigate climate change. However, climate change vulnerability may curre... PM Stromberg,M Esteban,A Gasparato...
Undoubtedly, people have always been aware of climatic variation at the relatively short timescales of seasons, years, and decades. Biblical scripture and other early documents refer todroughts,floods, periods of severe cold, and other climatic events. Nevertheless, a full appreciation of the nature...
Abrupt climatic changes occurring before the Pleistocene have also been documented. Atransientthermal maximum has been documented near the Paleocene-Eocene boundary (56 million years ago), and evidence of rapid cooling events are observed near the boundaries between both the Eocene and Oligocene epochs...
