The productive capacity of land is appropriated by harvesting or burning biomass and by converting natural ...
متن کاملHeat and mortality in New York City since the beginning of the 20th century.
BACKGROUND Heat is recognized as one of the deadliest weather-related phenomena. Although the impact of high temperatures on mortality has been a subject of extensive research, few previous studies have assessed the impact of population adaptation to heat. METHODS We examined adaptation patterns by analyzing daily temperature and mortality data spanning more than a century in New York City. U...
