Here we report that forests in drier South American climates experienced the greatest impacts of the 2015–2016 El Nio, indicating greater vulnerability to extreme temperatures and drought. The long-term, ground-measured tree-by-tree responses of 123 forest plots across tropical South America show ...
21. There were high temperatures across the neotropics accompanied by drought anomalies, particularly in south and east Amazonia. Our analysis of long-term field-based records from across tropical South America shows that high temperatures and drought led to ...
South Sudan’s lowest annual temperatures are in the high 60s to high 70s F (low to mid-20s C) in the centre and north of the country, while the lowest annual temperatures in the outlying areas are slightly cooler, about high 50s to high 60s F (mid-10s to low 20s C). The highest...
Grasslands are abundant in the South American lowlands. They can be classified as tropical, as with savannas, or subtropical, as with the Argentine Pampas. Savannas sedgeSedge (Carex vesicaria)(more) Tropical savannas are found mostly in theLlanosofVenezuelaand northeasternColombia. Those vast plain...
Latin American architecture is rich and diverse. This is reflected in the various stones used across different regions over the centuries. These materials highlight the varied geology of Latin America and illustrate how local cultures have adapted their construction methods to natural conditions, resulti...
Geological structure and minerals. The continent of South America consists of two principal structural units—the South American (Brazilian) Craton, in the central and eastern parts, and the folded mountain belt of the Andes, which frames the continent in the north, west, and south. ...
For internal variability, both the PDO and AMO can influence the South American climate on an interdecadal timescale. However, the PDO mainly influences northern South America from December–May40,42, and the PDO from 2003 to 2012 featured an intensified negative phase, which should have increased...

The eastern coast has a more tropical plant life. Sections of Western Cape and Eastern Cape provinces collectively form the Cape Floral Region, known for its rich diversity of plant life and designated a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2004. Natural forest is limited to mountainous valleys along ...
South Asia, one of the most important food producing regions in the world, is facing a significant threat to food grain production under the influence of extreme high temperatures. Furthermore, the probability of simultaneous trends in extreme precipitat
