Observed changes in climate of the U.S. Pacific Northwest since the early twentieth century were examined using four different datasets. Annual mean temperature increased by approximately 0.68–0.88C from 1901 to 2012, with corroborating indicators including a lengthened freeze-free season, increased temperature of the coldest night of the year, and increased growing-season potential evapotransp...

We hypothesized that changes in the pattern of spring precipitation would alter the species composition of a temperate soil-surface collembolan community. Experimental manipulation of precipitation during a drought in southern England was used to test this hypothesis in spring 1997. Replicated plots in a field of spring peas received spring drought (plots shielded from rainfall), reference (act...

Weather regimes are used to determine changes in the statistical distribution of winter precipitation and temperature at eight locations within the western United States. Six regimes are identified from daily 700-mb heights during 46 winters (1949–95) over the North Pacific sector applying cluster analysis; these include the Pacific-North American (PNA) pattern, reverse-PNA, and a Pacific Ω-blo...

Plant invasions are an increasingly serious global concern, especially as the climate changes. Here, we explored how plant invasions differed between native- and novel exotic-dominated grasslands with experimental addition of summer precipitation in Texas in 2009. Exotic species greened up earlier than natives by an average of 18 days. This was associated with a lower invasion rate early in the...

We compare regional climate change scenarios (temperature and precipitation) over eastern Nebraska produced by a semiempirical statistical downscaling (SDS) technique and regional climate model (RegCM2) experiments, both using large scale information from the same coarse resolution general circulation model (GCM) control and 2 x COe simulations. The SDS method is based on the circulation patter...

Mechanisms of global warming impacts on regional tropical precipitation are examined in a coupled atmosphere–ocean general circulation model (ECHAM4/OPYC3). The pattern of the regional tropical precipitation changes, once established, tends to persist, growing in magnitude as greenhouse gases increase. The sulfate aerosol induces regional tropical precipitation anomalies similar to the greenhou...

abstract in refrence to un appropriate time and place dispersal of precipitation in iran and having low efficiency in agriculture, water as the most limitative factor in agriculture is discussing. in this study, the existing pattern of mashhad-chenaran plain is considering and with gathering data related to 1388, with target of decrease in water consuming, optimum and nearly optimum cropping pa...

Wildfires are well known as annual disasters in Indonesia. More than 3 million ha was burned the last 5 years. During an extreme event such 2019, carbon emissions can cause smog neighboring countries Malaysia and Singapore. Though difficult to predict, many hotspots that appear be used indicate emergence of large-scale wildfires. The objective this research is provide suggestions terms variable...

Cereal production around the world is critical to the food supply for the human population. Crop productivity is primarily determined by a combination of temperature and precipitation because temperatures have to be in the range for plant growth and precipitation has to supply crop water requirements for a given environment. The question is often asked about the changes in productivity and what...

abstract the climate change was known to force local hydrology, through changes in the pattern of precipitation, temperature and the other hydrological variables. in this research, the impact of global warming on maximum and minimum temperature, precipitation and evapotranspiration (wheat, corn, tomato and sugar beet) of kashafrood basin under two climate change scenarios (a2 and b2), and the o...
