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...

Regional assessments are critical to evaluate resources at risk from disturbances, such as acidic deposition, which occur in large spatial extent. It is imperative to accurately quantify atmospheric deposition to the regions like the Adirondack Mountains of New York where soils and surface waters are highly sensitive to inputs of strong acids. Spatial patterns in precipitation quantity and conc...

Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) models have been devised for long-term monthly series of maximum and minimum temperatures from south-western Spanish observatories. The original series were transformed into stationary ones, and the orders (p, d, q) for each monthly series were obtained. These were validated using series of residuals, and the parameters of the functions were esti...

Net photosynthesis and stomatal conductance were measured in ten red spruce (Picea rubens Sarg.) saplings, growing near Ithaca, New York, throughout the early spring and late-fall growing periods. Gas exchange and daily minimum and maximum soil and air temperatures were also measured. Linear regression analysis showed that rates of net photosynthesis were positively correlated with both minimum...

By means of molecular dynamics simulations of a pair of methane molecules in a TIP3P periodic water box with the NVT scheme at six temperatures and, additionally, the NPT scheme at three temperatures ranging from T = 283 to 373 K, we determined the potential of mean force (PMF) of pairs of interacting methane molecules in water as functions of distance between the methane molecules. The PMFs co...
