This study has three main objectives: (1) Identify the trends in regional climate patterns over Northern Africa, the Middle East, southern Europe and southwest Asia based on observational and reanalysis products
This study has three main objectives: (1) Identify the trends in regional climate patterns over Northern Africa, the Middle East, southern Europe and southwest Asia based on observational and reanalysis products over the last four decades, linking them to changes in different parameters such as tem...
and episodic, there are many temporary freshwater lakes, filled by local rainfall, and episodic rivers and streams. They are shallow but may be large (>100km2), occurring in semi-arid and arid regions of Africa, Americas,Asiaand Australia. Seasonal freshwater lakes provide non-permanent wetland...
Firstly, an extensive evaluation of the ROM and of the CORDEX-Africa simulations is done, where the surface wind results are compared against the Cross-Calibrated Multi-Platform (CCMP; Atlas et al. 2011) dataset. Subsequently, the NACLLJ main properties for present climate are dissected, from ...
Besides, there are subhaplogroups that characterize other regions, such as H6 and H8 in Central Asia, H13 in the Near East, H20 and H21 in the Caucasus, and H18 in the Arabian Peninsula. Haplogroup H is also the most frequent clade in North Africa. Global frequencies are highest in the...
2017), little is known about the state of the cryosphere in Northwest Africa during the Holocene. Documentary, observational and geomorphological evidence points to more extensive permanent snowfields and even niche glaciers during the Little Ice Age (Hughes 2014, 2018; Hannah et al. 2017; Hughes...
As highlighted in the comparative results discussed earlier, even within a single geographic region, distinct ethnic groups have influenced by their unique cultural traditions; developed specialized knowledge regarding the use of plants [111]. Similarities in plants utilization including medicinal plant spec...
The discrepancy is largest at high (>0.75) similarities, where in many cases the simulated temperature differences exceed the limits indicated by modern assemblages (Fig. 2). This pattern is a salient feature that characterizes all simulations (Extended Data Fig. 1) and is robust against ...
Comparative studies are an essential component of all scholarly analyses, whether the topic under study is human society, fine art, paleontology, or chemistry; the similarities and differences found in the entities under consideration help to organize and direct research programs and exegeses. The com...
