Harvest records from Japan and China suggest that high night-time temperatures reduce the quality of rice, a staple food for billions of people. Comment|12 November 2024 The next massive volcano eruption will cause climate chaos — and we are unprepared ...
Surface temperatures of the Mid-Pliocene North Atlantic Ocean: implications for future climate The Mid-Pliocene is the most recent interval in the Earth's history to have experienced warming of the magnitude predicted for the second half of the twent... HJ Dowsett,MA Chandler,MM Robinson - 《...
In such cases, management should aim to neutralise directional sex ratio biases (e.g. by manipulating incubation temperatures or assisted migration) and promote adaptive processes, possibly by genetic supplementation of populations. These practices should aid species’ persistence and buy time ...
(as, for example, the record-high summer temperatures in western Europe and unusually heavy spring rains in the centralUnited Statesin 1982–83). The ENSO event of 1997–98 was associated with winter temperatures well above average in much of the United States. The ENSO phenomenon appears to ...
distributions using the R package ‘fitdistrplus’35. Random samples were taken from these estimated Beta distributions for every time step in the predictive model. We used a similar process to estimate γ-values using Equation3below. Although temperatures change through the seasons, in the tropics ...
(Fig.1f) are largely negative in sign. Since global temperatures are slightly above the 1.5 °C target when the intervention is deployed in 2035, ARISE-1.5 forces a small negative trend in temperature (Fig.2). On regional scales, internal climate variability can overwhelm the forced response...
Studies on birds in the Brazilian Amazon and red deer on the Isle of Rum, in Scotland, show warmer temperatures have caused animals to evolve smaller bodies. It’s easier to keep cool when you’re small! Rob American conservationist Thor Hanson records and measures anole lizards in the ...
However, night temperatures can fall dramatically, because the same lack of cloud cover that admits high levels of incoming solar radiation during the day also allows rapid loss of energy through long-wave radiation to the sky at night. Absolute minimum temperatures, except in desert areas close ...
France, as an example, introduced a heat warning system that is triggered after three days of persistently high temperatures35. This system can enact the closing down of schools and public areas, the operation of a public heatwave helpline, and the opening of cool rooms in public buildings. ...
able to adapt to low temperatures, unlike the majority of the species of the section, which prefer warm temperatures. Accordingly, during the uplift of the HDM, species would have dispersed from high elevations to the relatively warm, lower elevation of neighboring areas, where they would have ...
