(Harlan and Ruddell2011; Kan et al.2012), especially in poor communities (Schlosberg and Colins2014; Hallegatte and Rozenberg2017), widespread and/or frequent droughts linked to extensive fires (Amiro et al.2001; Littell et al.2016), diminished resources for drinking water and irrigation (...
The latitudinal shift is strongest and most evident in the Northern Hemisphere due to the simple fact that there is more land in the Northern Hemisphere. This northward shift will likely mean that wheat cultivation will be further concentrated in the few countries set to see increases in suitabili...
The western North America population of Harlequin Ducks winters along the coast from northern California to British Columbia, southeastern and south-central Alaska, and the Aleutian Islands (Robertson and Goudie 1999).

(1) thawing permafrost enhances microbial decomposition, while it may favor photosynthetic carbon uptake through enriched soil nutrients [7,8,9]; (2) more frequent and widespread fires [10,11,12] rapidly clear vegetation coverage and release large amounts of carbon into the atmosphere reversing ...
Previously, mapping fires and monitoring their aftermath often relied on aerial image interpretation and on-ground observations, often at sparse and infrequent intervals. Fire regimes and the impact of fires on vegetation are now widely monitored using remote sensing, with a large range of satellite-...
