As aviation's contribution to anthropogenic climate change is increasing, the sector aims at reducing its climate effect in accordance with international agreements. The strong and variable non-CO2 effects are complex, m...

Abstract Rising atmospheric CO2 concentrations enhance greenhouse warming and drive changes to plant physiology, leading to innumerable climate impacts. This study explores the impacts of plant responses on hydrological ...

Climate change-induced shocks, particularly drought, are more prevalent and causing drastic changes in farming and livelihood in the Barind Tract region of Bangladesh. Therefore, this study aims to identify drought shock...

Context and background  Rapid urbanization in Lagos metropolis, Nigeria, has led to significant changes in its urban climate, manifesting as Urban Heat Islands (UHIs). Goal and Objectives: This study assesses the...

Global warming is forcing many species to shift their distributions upward, causing consequent changes in the compositions of species that occur at specific locations. This prediction remains largely untested for tropica...

Abstract The future response of the Antarctic Slope Current (ASC) to projected transient changes in winds, radiative forcing, and meltwater input is examined in a high‐resolution ocean‐sea ice model. Meltwater change...

The Pampas of South America represents one of the most extended subtropical–temperate grasslands in the world. This ecoregion was influenced by Pleistocene climate oscillations. The sigmodontine rodent assemblage inhab...

ABSTRACT Background and Aim Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has been a growing crisis of economic, clinical, and public health concern for years. Different mechanisms of why and how AMR develops have been suggested and st...

Background and Aim: Ticks and tick-borne diseases (TBD) continue to pose a significant threat to livestock production and rural livelihoods in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). The control of ticks has relied predominantly on th...

Sea level rise, as one of the consequences of global climate change, has significantly impacted oceanographic dynamics, particularly wave characteristics. One of the most critical affected parameters is significant wave ...

Temperature extreme indices were analyzed for five continental regions of southern South America defined according to their climatic characteristics. Gridded observations, reanalysis, and global-coupled climate models fr...

Abstract The Tibetan Plateau (TP) is a sensitive area for climate change, with its temperature affected by global warming. However, the variation in the diurnal temperature range (DTR) remains unclear. Therefore, using o...

Drier conditions have been observed in Northern Patagonia, Argentina, in the last decades, affecting the pastoralism production system. In this context, two laws were promoted to foster goat and sheep production. This re...

Forest fires in the Amazon, particularly in protected areas, pose significant challenges related to CO _2 emissions and deforestation. This study aimed to evaluate fire foci and their driving factors in the Jamanxim Nati...

Abstract Key roles of marine dimethyl sulfoniopropionate (DMSP), dimethyl sulfide (DMS), methyl mercaptan (MeSH), and carbon disulfide (CS2) in the sulfur cycle and/or atmospheric chemistry, alongside the rapid environme...

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) represent a key biological strategy for enhancing agricultural resilience under extreme climatic events such as drought. However, how AMF interact with drought-tolerant plant genotypes ...

Latest Maastrichtian climate change caused by Deccan volcanism has been invoked as a cause of mass extinction at the Cretaceous-Paleogene (K-Pg) boundary (~66.0 Ma). Yet late Maastrichtian climate and ecological changes...

The objective of the present paper is to recognize and reconstruct, from the analysis of pollen recovered from sedimentary cores, the predominant plant communities and their variations during the Holocene in Corrientes A...

Glaciers in the northern Patagonian Andes (35-46°gS) have shown a dramatic decline in area in the last decades. However, little is known about glacier mass balance changes in this region. This study presents a geodetic ...

Abstract Using an idealized model of the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC), we test whether changes in the statistical properties of an AMOC time series can reveal Critical Slowing Down (CSD) and serve a...

The loess-paleosol sequences in the provinces of Belgian and Dutch Limburg (Northeastern Belgium and Southern Netherlands, respectively) reveal a continuous record of paleo-climatic variations during the late Middle and ...

Abstract Methane hydrate dissociation along continental margins has been widely associated with global carbon cycle perturbations and climate changes. However, the relationship between hydrate dynamics, carbon cycle dist...

The semi-underground double-storey squat silo (SDSS) is innovative storage structure. The underground section of SDSS uses shallow geologic energy for low-temperature storage, indicating its potential suitability for lon...

Resilience "the capacity of an ecosystem to recover from disturbance" is a popular concept but quantitative empirical studies are still uncommon. This lack of empirical evidence is especially true for semi-arid ecosystem...
