Climatic change controls productivity variation in global grasslands
Detection and identification of the impacts of climate change on ecosystems have been core issues in climate change research in recent years. In this study, we compared average annual values of the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) with theoretical net primary productivity (NPP) values based on temperature and precipitation to determine the effect of historic climate change on globa...
متن کاملCave Temperatures and Global Climatic Change
The physical processes that establish the cave temperature are briefly discussed, showing that cave temperature is generally strictly connected with the external climate. The Global Climatic changes can then influence also the underground climate. It is shown that the mountain thermal inertia causes a delay between the two climates and then a thermal unbalance between the cave and the atmospher...
متن کاملGlobal responses of terrestrial productivity to contemporary climatic oscillations.
The terrestrial biosphere is subjected to a wide range of natural climatic oscillations. Best known is the El Niño-southern oscillation (ENSO) that exerts globally extensive impacts on crops and natural vegetation. A 50-year time series of ENSO events has been analysed to determine those geographical areas that are reliably impacted by ENSO events. Most areas are impacted by changes in precipit...
متن کاملClimatic Controls on Spring Onset of the Tibetan Plateau Grasslands from 1982 to 2008
U nderstanding environm ental controls on vegetation spring onset (SO) in the Tibetan Plateau (TP) is crucial to diagnosing regional ecosystem responses to climate change. We investigated environm ental controls on the SO of the TP grasslands using satellite vegetation index (VI) from the 3rd Global Inventory M odeling and M apping Studies (GlMMSSg) product, w ith in situ air tem perature (Ta) ...
متن کاملCenozoic Expansion of Grasslands and Climatic Cooling
Mountains, ocean currents, forests, and swamps have played an important role in regulating global climate for hundreds of millions of years, but the truly novel event of the Cenozoic was the evolution and expansion of grasslands, with their uniquely coevolved grasses and grazers. Neogene expansion of the climatic and geographic range of grasslands at the expense of woodlands is now revealed by ...
