As much as one-third of the population is expected to experience the current definition of a 1-in-100-year storm as often as three times in their lifetime. Additionally, the current precipitation standards for designing transportation infrastructure and urban stormwater drainage systems that are ...
We used the world tree species list75and species range maps compiled by7,54. The world tree species checklist (GlobalTreeSearch, GTS, v.1.675,) was used to extract the global tree species list for the current study. Tree species included in the GTS are based on the definition by the IUC...
We used 204 regional floristic works (see Appendix 1), which cover almost all climatic zones and terrestrial ecosystems present in China, from Hainan Island in the south (18.61º N), Altai of Xinjiang Province in the northwest (48.88º N), the upper Ürümqi in the west (87.03...
Similarly, the national food security policy recognizes the establishment of agricultural economic zones along CPEC routes, enhancing agricultural economic cooperation under CPEC, but is missing a policy coordination mechanism. The water and energy sector policies miss integration with the CPEC plan 2017...
(which determines the initial steady state) and for PU. To run the model, we must also prescribe the tectonic rate of CO2degassing, which we estimate from a conservative set of plate boundaries (mid-ocean ridges and subduction zones) that might describe the gross tectonic fabric of the PU ...

2). The increased spread north of 60N may be indicative of differing representation of the Arctic marginal ice zones and may be exacerbated by the reduction of ocean grid points at these latitudes. The amplitude of the seasonal cycle of 〈θ〉 over the 0–700 m layer is well constrained ...
(Fig.1). Interviewees consisted of long-term residents either of one of the three main coastal Indigenous Nations, Tlingit, Haida, or Tsimshian, or of European descent. The communities were selected based on their representativeness of climatic zones from the outer southern portion of the ...
