Anthropogenic climate change is one of the main threats to global biodiversity, with amphibians being among the most vulnerable vertebrate groups. In this context, the IUCN currently lists 69 species of Neotropical glass...

Communicating climate change projections to diverse stakeholders and addressing their concerns is crucial for fostering effective climate adaptation. This paper explores the use of storyline projections as an intermediat...

Abstract The Canary current upwelling System (CCS) is one the most productive marine ecosystems. CMIP5 simulations under the RCP8.5 scenario for the end of the 21st century project a modest upwelling‐favorable wind dec...

Abstract Background Landslides are one of the most frequent and damaging disasters in the Nepal Himalaya region, triggered primarily by intense rainfall events. With the increasing impacts of climate change, extreme prec...

Rapid climatic changes and increasing human influence at high elevations around the world will have profound impacts on mountain biodiversity. However, forecasts from statistical models (e.g. species distribution models)...

Background: Climate change increasingly shapes development outcomes, necessitating its integration into evaluation processes. In Africa, recurrent droughts, floods and temperature extremes disrupt progress across sector...

BackgroundClimate gerontology examines the intersections between climate change and population ageing, yet empirical evidence on how older adults perceive climate-related environmental change remains limited, particularl...

The impact of climate change threatens rural livelihoods in semi-arid areas like Kordian District of Iran’s Jahrom County, particularly where there is inadequate spatial planning. This research analyzes policy shortcom...

Forests play an important role in water and carbon cycles in semiarid regions such as the Mediterranean ecosystems. Previous research in the Chilean Mediterranean forests revealed a break point in 1980 in regional tree-r...

IntroductionThe Crocodile River Catchment is one of the key water sources for Mpumalanga Province, crucial for irrigation, domestic use, and ecotourism. However, in recent years, the river has reached its utilisation cap...

Coupled carbon/climate models are predicting changes in Amazon carbon and water cycles for the near future, with conversion of forest into savanna-like vegetation. However, empirical data to support these models are stil...

Coastal areas are dynamic environments shaped by the interaction between natural processes and human activities. Rapid urbanization and land use transformations increasingly threaten the ecological integrity and spatial ...

The Andes Cordillera contains the most diverse cryosphere on Earth, including extensive areas covered by seasonal snow, numerous tropical and extratropical glaciers, and many mountain permafrost landforms. Here, we revie...

Mining activities in the Kenyan Marble Quarries (KMQ) are a potential source of atmospheric pollution, raising health concerns for the local population. This study aims to examine the extent to which marble mining contri...

Introduction: Land-use changes have transformed many Mediterranean ecosystems in ways that can adversely affect ectotherms such as reptiles. Range-edge reptile populations may be especially sensitive to such changes, as ...

OBJETIVOS: avaliar a densidade mamográfica antes e após um ano de terapia de reposição hormonal. METODOLOGIA: participaram 70 mulheres climatéricas, admitidas em Ambulatório do Climatério. As pacientes usaram, reg...

Rice production is a major contributor to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Reducing GHG emissions in this sector is essential for achieving the climate targets. However, little is known about the effectiveness of monetary...

Recent studies of the Middle and Upper Paleolithic in the northwestern Caucasus are focused on the research of relations between natural (climate and environment) and social (behavior and adaptations) factors that govern...

Abstract Animal-mediated seed dispersal underpins forest maintenance, yet climate change threatens this mutualism by reshaping plant-frugivore overlap. Most projections assume that frugivore richness and binary interacti...

Abstract Despite the recently recomputed time series of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) suggesting greater stability than previously recognized, AMOC retains the potential to influence regional cli...

Urban microclimate are localized climatic conditions within urban areas that are shaped by the buildings, population density, land cover, and vegetation, and that differ significantly from surrounding rural contexts. The...

Coral reef systems on the southeastern Cuban shelf are exposed to rapid warming and increasingly frequent marine heatwaves (MHWs). However, the physical drivers of local sea-surface temperature (SST) variability remain...

This paper analyzes spatial and temporal changes of aridity in Argentina (1961?2022). The aridity degree, using Climatic Research Unit (CRU) monthly data, was defined through six climate types classified by De Martonne A...

Abstract The North Atlantic eddy-driven jet plays a vital role in shaping Euro-Atlantic weather and climate. While previous research has focused on the seasonal mean jet response to climate change, its changes at subseas...
