Regions We must take care when the spatial scale assessed is appropriate—for climatic extremes, results can differ vastly between spatial scales. Information about localised extremes can be found in individual station datasets, but this information is not available globally, and stations differ in qua...
some 700 miles (1,100 km) southward from the mainland intoinsular Southeast Asiais theMalay Peninsula; this peninsula structurally is part of the mainland, but it also shares many ecological and culturalaffinitieswith the surrounding islands and thus functions as a bridge between the two regions....
While the importance of the societal and economic impacts of extreme climatic events is undeniable, the study of climate extremes (particularly on a global scale) is still in its infancy. Indeed, the first assessment by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in the early 1990s did...
However, there are forest regions, such as west of the Albertine Rift, which did not recently experience novelty in certain climate variables despite long-term changes occurring, suggesting that interannual variability confers resilience to changing climate conditions in some areas. Conclusions Tropical ...
In all columns except (1), we adopt a set of regional dummies for geographical heterogeneity, which is related to latitude, climatic conditions, and ecological awareness. Namely, we use the following dummies: Europe, Asia, Oceania, North America, South America. In column (8), we also adopt...
Countries in Africa and Asia are disproportionately affected by food shortages, owing to high levels of poverty, harsh climatic conditions, inequality, high population growth, and weak national economies. Declines in global food security in the 2020s were attributed in particular to the economic ...
and for some morphological regions, such as the mandible and the mandibular dentition, the samples are relatively well typified (Richmond et al.,2020; Wood & Constantino,2007). Fossils of this taxon show a relatively long and curved ulna, an oblique scapular spine, the absence of a third met...
3. While Koeppen gave six major climatic Regions, Thornthwaite gave eight and differentiated between true arid and semi-arid and between true polar and sub-polar. This makes Thornthwaite’s scheme more relevant. 4. Koeppen took into account,the altitudinal aspect of climate by giving a separate ...
Generally, this phenomenon is referred as ‘global shift in climatic regime’ in literature, which manifests itself as sudden jump in several hydroclimatic variables such as, temperature, air pressure, wind field, precipitation etc.15. However, its impact on spatial distribution of precipitation ...
248 out of 250 sites were exposed to extreme climate events. Forest natural world heritage sites may face increasing pressure to complex extreme phenomena under emission rise. In tropical regions, where high temperatures may magnify the vulnerability of biodiversity, we identify 14 natural world herita...
