Grassland vegetation changes and nocturnal global warming
Global minimum temperatures (TMIN) are increasing faster than maximum temperatures, but the ecological consequences of this are largely unexplored. Long-term data sets from the shortgrass steppe were used to identify correlations between TMIN and several vegetation variables. This ecosystem is potentially sensitive to increases in TMIN. Most notably, increased spring TMIN was correlated with de...
متن کاملGlobal warming and changes in drought
17 How is drought changing as the climate changes? Several recent papers in the scientific literature have focused on this question but the answer remains unclear. Here we attempt to understand this socially and ecologically relevant topic. We discuss what the expectations for changes in drought should be, and thus the prospects for the future, and we provide some recommendations for resolving ...
متن کاملGlobal warming and its effect on the environmental human health
Earth's ecosystem has been active for millions of years without particular problems and may lead the development of variety of animal species around the world.
متن کاملMonitoring Grassland Birds in Nocturnal Migration
We censused vocalizations of night-migrating birds by making continual audio recordings of the night sky from a transect of seven recording stations across New York State in fall 1991-1993 and at one recording station in south Texas in spring 1995. Bird calls on these audio recordings were later detected by human listening and by automatic sound-detection software. Vocalizations of several migr...
متن کاملGrassland responses to global environmental changes suppressed by elevated CO2.
Simulated global changes, including warming, increased precipitation, and nitrogen deposition, alone and in concert, increased net primary production (NPP) in the third year of ecosystem-scale manipulations in a California annual grassland. Elevated carbon dioxide also increased NPP, but only as a single-factor treatment. Across all multifactor manipulations, elevated carbon dioxide suppressed ...
