This information will aid in solving some of the key environment and societal issues of the day, including food security, global climate change land degradation and carbon sequestration. Data would be produced using mostly the storehouse of existing legacy soils data along with geographic information...
The world’s warm deserts are predicted to experience disproportionately large temperature increases due to climate change, yet the impacts on global desert biodiversity remain poorly understood. Because species in warm deserts live close to their physio
Floods are the most common type of natural disaster3and the rate of flood-related disasters has more than doubled since 20004. This increase in flood-related disasters is driven by an accelerating hydrological cycle caused by anthropogenic climate change5,6. Early warning systems are an effective...
Humans, of course, are animals too—and, although we often forget it, we are also part of the complex global ecosystem. What's happening at the North Pole might seem remote and unimportant, but we are likely to feel the effects of climate change much closer to home. More erratic weather...
But climate change is true - and possibly catastrophic for humanity. I suspect we will get greater variability in climate, that nature acts as a moderator of changes due to its complex feedback cycles. The irony is that though the science is bad, the move to green energy is obviously good...
Range shift maps under climate change are calculated by an equation proposed by Huang et al. [26] as follows:RSM=FBM×2+CBMWhere RSM, FBM, CBM represent range shift maps, future binary maps, and current binary map. There are four code values (0, 1, 2, 3) in RSM maps. Zero represe...
However, due to global climate change, soybean breeders are facing strong challenges to defeat diseases. Marker-assisted selection and genomic selection have been demonstrated to be successful methods in quickly integrating vertical resistance or horizontal resistance into improved soybean varieties, where ...
This dataset was prepared by the Climate Analytics Group and NASA Ames Research Center using the NASA Earth Exchange, and distributed by the NASA Center for Climate Simulation (NCCS). NASA NEX-GDDP数据集由全球降尺度气候情景组成,这些情景来自耦合模型相互比较项目第5阶段(CMIP5,见Taylor等人,2012年)下...
The human thermal stress indices and datasets are vital for promoting public health and reducing negative environmental impacts as global climate change and extreme meteorological events increase. The current thermal indices generally use an instantaneous or average value to describe thermal stress which ca...
Climate change will have an impact on not only flood magnitude but also on flood timing. This paper studies the shifting in flood timing at 6167 gauging stations from 1970 to 2010, globally. The shift in flood timing and its relationship with three influential factors (maximum 7-day precipitati...
