Areas with the second type of arid climate,semiarid (dry steppe)(BS), receive 250–750 mm (10–30 in) of rain a year. This is the climate of the African savanna lands and much of central Asia. In Mexico, this climate region includes most of the Central Plateau as well as western s...
Seed zones for forest tree species are a widely used tool in reforestation programs to ensure that seedlings are well adapted to their planting environments. Here, we propose a climate-based seed zone system for Mexico to address observed and projected climate change. The pro...
In this study, a change in the severity of increased extreme precipitation is investigated across CONUS. CONUS has diversities in climate zones, geomorphological features, and water vapor sources from the Pacific Ocean, the Gulf of Mexico, and the Atlantic Ocean11. Because of this diversity, incre...
Most of Mexico’s principal towns and cities away from the coasts aresituated at elevation: Mexico City is situated at over 7,000 feet above sea level, and many of the places in Mexico’s colonial heartland are situated at elevations of at least 5,000 feet above the sea. The elevation c...
and Mexico during week-2, while this improvement is negligible during week-3 (Supplementary Fig. S2). High-order modes only have significant skills for a short range of forecast (i.e., the weather timescale). Fig. 5e shows the correlation between the timeseries of observations (ERA5 ...

Indonesia, Mexico, and Myanmar will provide the greatest carbon mitigation potential through reforestation (188.7, 110.4, and 61.3 Tg CO2-eq over 40 years, respectively) (Fig. 4e). Under other scenarios with slower rates of restoration area, i.e., reforesting all these areas within a 5-...

With regard to the provision of water in general, in regions where water is already scarce (such as the Andean region of South America and northern Mexico), implementation of irrigation systems can increase the land available for agriculture and livestock, and thus increase food security. Increasin...
Latin American and Caribbean countries experience energy transitions in the context of crises affecting power electric systems. This article shows that policy failure recognition constitutes a window of opportunity for regulatory reforms supporting the d
