In this study, changes in the spatial and temporal patterns of climate extreme indices were analyzed. Daily maximum minimum air temperature, precipitation, their association with change used as basis for tracking at 50 meteorological stations Iran over period 1975–2010. Sixteen temperature 11 which have been quality controlled tested homogeneity missing data, are examined. Temperature extremes show a warming trend, large proportion having statistically significant trends all indices. Over...
Central and South America tropical dry forest (TDF) is a water-limited biome with high number of endemic species numerous ecosystem services which has experienced boom in research the last decade. Although case studies across these seasonal, water-limited, forests increased, there not been comprehensive review to assess physiological variability this continent how respond climatic variables. Additionally, understanding change resilience under variability, currently future, essential for...
Abstract. Terrestrial ecosystems are crucial in mitigating global climate change, and Dynamic Global Vegetation Models (DGVMs) have become essential tools for simulating these ecosystems. However, uncertainties remain DGVM simulations China, highlighting the need to systematic evaluations of their dynamics across various time scales enhance model performance. As such, we utilize reprocessed monthly MODIS Leaf Area Index (LAI) Contiguous Solar-induced Fluorescence (CSIF) data as observational...
Coastal forests are highly vulnerable to disturbances from tropical cyclones (TCs), yet the long-term impacts of storm surges on tree growth remain understudied. This study examines relationship between TC-induced and annual tree-ring in Pinus elliottii at three coastal sites along northern Gulf Mexico. Using dendrochronological methods, we analyzed total ring width, earlywood, latewood patterns assess suppressions response past TC activity. Our results indicate that surge events...
Researchers have explored a variety of topics related to the finances Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSI), including how HSIs are funded and HSI graduates fare in labor market, salary analyses. Related staff faculty, researchers found that low salaries primary reason for faculty leave. However, no empirical work has whether there inequities between working non-HSIs. As result, this study leverages current Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) data explore differences...
Agricultural expansion is causing deforestation in Minas Gerais, Brazil, converting savanna and tropical dry forest to farmland, 2012, Brazil's Forest Code was revised with the government reducing restrictions. Understanding effects of policy change on rates locations natural ecosystem loss imperative. In this paper, Gerais simulated annually until 2020 using Dinamica Environment for Geoprocessing Objects (Dinamica EGO). This system a state-of-the-art land use cover (LUCC) model which...
Abstract Tropical dry forests (TDFs) worldwide have an environment-sensitive phenological signal, which easily marks their response to the changing climatic conditions, especially precipitation and temperature. Using TDF characteristics as a proxy, this study aims evaluate current continental climate change across Americas. Here, we show that TDFs are resilient water stress droughts by increasing rain use efficiency (RUE) in drier years recovering average RUE year following drought....
With large tracts of Tropical Dry Forests (TDF) in the Americas previously deforested, many places are currently undergoing secondary ecological succession. These processes vary time and space, creating a landscape with forests different ages or successional stages. need moreneed more understanding about how their ecosystem functionality is restored recovering along succession path. In particular, it poorly understood stages moderate extremes Essential Climatic Variables (ECV) such as...
The fraction of Photosynthetically Active Radiation (fPAR) plays a pivotal role in determining the carbon flux ecosystems. Although MODIS fPAR product has demonstrated effectiveness Northern Hemisphere, its validity still needs to be verified context Tropical Dry Forests (TDFs), which constitute 40% all tropical forests. This study utilized Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) generate an in-situ Green dataset at Santa Rosa National Park Environmental Monitoring Supersite, aiming validate products...
Abstract Climate change will have considerable impact on the global economy. Estimates of economic damages due to climate focused effect average temperature, but not other important variables. Related research has explored sub-annual cycles which may be impacted by volatility. To address these deficits, we propose a flexible, non-linear framework includes wide range variables estimate changes in GDP and project cycle adjustments (period, amplitude, trough depth). We find that inclusion more...
Little is known about the funding organizations and mechanisms behind artificial intelligence (AI) research conducted in United States (U.S.) educational systems (K12 higher education). This study therefore performs a bibliometric network analysis of AI U.S. to explore which types fund peer-reviewed scholarship, receive this funding, how these form funded networks. The results suggest evidence institutional stratification, with non-U.S. government (such as China Europe) many studies within...
