Second is an analytical megabias, strongly favoring the discovery and collection of the wetland biome from Pennsylvanian strata, overlooking the less frequently and more poorly preserved drought-tolerant biome. By Permian times, vast wetlands, and their fossil record, had largely disappeared from ...
Mammals have dominated Earth for approximately 55 Myr thanks to their adaptations and resilience to warming and cooling during the Cenozoic. All life will eventually perish in a runaway greenhouse once absorbed solar radiation exceeds the emission of thermal radiation in several billions of years. ...
Peatland ecosystems are wetlands consisting of partially decomposed plant remnants and organic matter that accumulate over millennia to form carbon-rich soils, called peat, that can reach several meters in thickness. These ecosystems are waterlogged, meaning that their soils are permanently wet; this fe...
Wetlands are important because they prevent flooding by absorbing water when it gets too high. In addition, they also help topurify water, making them an important part of our everyday lives. Plants that live in wetlands are called Hydrophytes, and some of the examples include milkweed, water...
How many types of wetlands are there? What is the climate of the Sahel? What is the climate of a coastal desert? What climate zone is Louisiana in? Which climatic zone is always hot and humid? What is the climate of Thar Desert? What is the climate in a forest biome? What is the ...
–Winter ice-stage duration: the number of days where maximum temperature was ≤ 0 °C Connectivity We calculated several connectivity metrics among alpine ponds in the study area. We used a known distribution of wetlands because the distribution of alpine ponds is currently largely unknown. We co...
Wetlands are among the most important ecosystems in the world in terms of endemic biodiversity, carbon storage and hydrological process.Veredaswetlands are distributed across the Brazilian savanna (i.e. Cerrado biome) and are permanently protected areas.Veredaswetlands have a hydromorphic soil, providing...
We present a methodology designed to study the spatial heterogeneity of climate change. Our approach involves decomposing the observed changes in temperature patterns into multiple trend, cycle, and seasonal components within a spatio-temporal model. We
The northern peatland carbon sink plays a vital role in climate regulation; however, the future of the carbon sink is uncertain, in part, due to the changing interactions of peatlands and wildfire. Here, we use empirical datasets from natural, degraded and restored peatlands in non-permafrost ...
