Under hot conditions the human body is able to regulate its core temperature via sweat evaporation, but this ability reduced when air humidity high. These of high and invoke heat stress which a major problem for humans, in particular vulnerable groups population people under physical (e.g. heavy duty work without appropriate cooling systems). It generally expected that frequency, duration magni...

Climate change has already triggered species distribution shifts in many parts of the world. Increasing impacts are expected for the future, yet few studies have aimed for a general understanding of the regional basis for species vulnerability. We projected late 21st century distributions for 1,350 European plants species under seven climate change scenarios. Application of the International Un...

Understanding the impacts of climate change on people and the environment requires an understanding of the dynamics of both climate and land use/land cover changes. A range of future climate scenarios is available for the conterminous United States that have been developed based on widely used international greenhouse gas emissions storylines. Climate scenarios derived from these emissions stor...

the present study modeled how future terrestrial net primary productivity (npp) changes spatiotemporally for the eastern mediterranean biomes of turkey using carnegie ames stanford approach (casa) model, moderate resolution imaging spectroradiometer (modis) data, the four regional climate change scenarios (rcp 2.6, rcp 4.5, rcp 6.0 and rcp 8.5), and such ancillary data as percent tree cover, la...

In this study, an integrated system for the comprehensive analysis of climate change, runoff, reservoir operation, and power generation was developed. In order to apply reliable climate change scenarios to the Geum River Basin, we applied representative concentration pathway (RCP) scenarios adopted by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change for its fifth assessment report in 2014 to the s...

1. introduction climatic change is one of the most important challenges human beings have confronted with in recent centuries due to its severe effects on water resources, agriculture, energy, tourism and even human bioclimatic. developing strategies, making decisions with awareness about water consumption in different parts in the future, and available water resources management require climat...
