Here, we simulated the present-day and mid-Holocene vegetation of East Africa with the DVM, LPJ-GUESS and we conducted an exhaustive comparison of model outputs with maps of potential modern vegetation distribution, and with pollen records of local change through time. Overall, the model was ...
Many of the plant endemics, including several genera, have their closest relatives in the Southern Afromontane region (stretching from southern Tanzania to the Western Cape province of South Africa), as opposed to elsewhere in East Africa. Although there are some links between the endemic plants ...
This manuscript goes beyond the sole scope of a review by providing a unique analysis over the links between occurrence of MPs and both vertical and horizontal transport mechanisms, relevant to the various biomes within the MENA region. The impact of the manuscript is to present for the first ...
Moreover, precipitation in North Africa extends northward (Fig. 13a) in response to the northward shifts of the Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone due to orbital forcing, which could result in decreased upwelling and SST variability in the western equatorial Atlantic (Bosmans et al., 2012; Pausata ...

(39% in China, 41% in Japan, 36% in ROK, and 16% in DPRK in 2020, according to FAO2), while other regions in the world remain well below 20% (19% in Africa, 7% in Europe, and 9% in the United States). Unlike Western countries, where planting was traditionally conducted for ...
The in-situ sensor network represents a step-forward in LST validation in East Africa and savannah biomes. To our knowledge this is the first time that such an extensive network of LST radiometers and supporting measurements has been installed in sub-Saharan Africa, or a savannah. With this ...
These four groups are present and abundant in east Africa, and are known to exert a pressure on plant dynamics, which justifies their presence in the model (they would have been absent if we aimed to model a present-day west African savanna, where many of these mammals have gone extinct)...
It was revealed that the Sino-Himalayan flora developed from lowland biomes predominantly characterized by tropical floristic elements before the collision between the Indian subcontinent and Eurasia during the Early Cenozoic [61]. The present Sino-Himalayan flora is relatively young, and influenced by ...
