low temperature is one of main factors limiting distribution of woody plants. in order to evaluate the resistance of 4-years old seedlings and adult trees of maclura pomifera to freezing stress, a factorial experiment was carried out based on completely randomized design with three replications in the faculty of agriculture, university of tehran. during 2012-2013 sampling were done from the ann...

This paper develops trend estimation techniques for monthly maximum and minimum temperature time series observed in the 48 conterminous United States over the last century. While most scientists concur that this region has warmed on aggregate, there is no a priori reason to believe that temporal trends in extremes and averages will exhibit the same patterns. Indeed, underminor regularity condit...

â  the prediction of maximum temperatures as one of the most important climatic parameters due to climate change, global warming and the recent drought will provide definitely more opportunity for planning and the provision of necessary arrangements for the planners. maximum temperatures are much important in management of natural and water resources, agriculture, development of pests and disea...

[1] This study assesses near surface lapse rates and temperatures over the past decade at two heights from the Oklahoma Mesonet. A statistically significant change in lapse rate was detected of 0.21 ± 0.09 C (10 m) 1 per decade. The trend of nighttime lapse rate was about three times larger than the magnitude of trend of the daytime lapse rate. The lapse rate trends at the time of the daily max...

abstract this experiment, conducted to examine the effects of temperature and photoperiod on seed germination of watergrass (echinochlo aoryzoides) as a new-introduced and barnyardgrass (e. crus-galli) as a common weed species in rice fields of guilan province. this study was consisted of two separate experiments. at the first study, germination responses of two species to different temperature...

In the present study, a modelling approach based on Geographical Information Systems (GIS) analysis is presented with the aim of identifying the influence of environmental parameters on three genera, namely, Tortula, Grimmia and Bryum as representatives of Iranian bryoflora. By using ArcGIS Desktop, we produced a model for environmental variables include altitude, precipitation, temperature and...
