Abstract Biological invasions are increasingly recognized as one of the major threats to biodiversity. The Japanese raisin tree ( Hovenia dulcis ) is native East Asia, however, in southeastern South America this species has become most pervasive invaders. many biological characteristics that favor process invasion and few studies have indicated changes structure composition plant communities wh...

food security in the world that water shortages are faced is very important, especially in arid regions. effects of climate change on agricultural water requirement have doubled this importance. in this study, the risk of water demand has been assessed for a wide range of products under climate change. aogcm models have been used to simulate climate variables. the climate change scenarios of cl...

Human activities and climate change are the main factors causing habitat loss, jeopardising survival of many species, especially those with limited range, such as endemic species. Recently, species distribution models (SDMs) have been used in conservation biology to assess their extinction risk, environmental dynamics, potential distribution. This study analyses potential, current future range ...
