Extreme 15N Depletion in Seagrasses
(
Springer New York LLC
, 2016 , Article)
Seagrass beds form an important part of the coastal ecosystem in many parts of the world but are very sensitive to anthropogenic nutrient increases. In the last decades, stable isotopes have been used as tracers of ...
Global plant trait relationships extend to the climatic extremes of the tundra biome
(
Nature Research
, 2020 , Article)
The majority of variation in six traits critical to the growth, survival and reproduction of plant species is thought to be organised along just two dimensions, corresponding to strategies of plant size and resource ...
A new method for broad-scale modeling and projection of plant assemblages under climatic, biotic, and environmental cofiltering.
(
Wiley
, 2021 , Article)
There is increasing interest in broad-scale analysis, modeling, and prediction of the distribution and composition of plant species assemblages under climatic, environmental, and biotic filtering, particularly for conservation ...
Forest Degradation Index: A Tool for Forest Vulnerability Assessment in Indian Western Himalaya
(
MDPI
, 2022 , Article)
The global climate is showing altered temperatures and precipitation levels. Forests can be a stabilizing force in climate change. They regulate the nutrient cycle, protect species and diversity, and support livelihoods ...
Global patterns in endemicity and vulnerability of soil fungi
(
Wiley
, 2022 , Article)
Fungi are highly diverse organisms, which provide multiple ecosystem services. However, compared with charismatic animals and plants, the distribution patterns and conservation needs of fungi have been little explored. ...
The tundra phenology database: More than two decades of tundra phenology responses to climate change
(
NRC Research Press
, 2021 , Article)
Observations of changes in phenology have provided some of the strongest signals of the effects of climate change on terrestrial ecosystems. The International Tundra Experiment (ITEX), initiated in the early 1990s, established ...
Adaptation of sea turtles to climate warming: Will phenological responses be sufficient to counteract changes in reproductive output?
(
John Wiley and Sons Inc
, 2024 , Article)
Sea turtles are vulnerable to climate change since their reproductive output is influenced by incubating temperatures, with warmer temperatures causing lower hatching success and increased feminization of embryos. Their ...
Climate, trends and variability of extreme winds along the southwest coast of India
(
Wiley
, 2023 , Article)
The extreme wind climate and its trends and variability of the southwest coast of India, particularly the Kerala coast, are investigated using hourly reanalysis wind speeds for the period 1979–2021. The observed maximum ...
Future Mangrove Carbon Storage Under Climate Change and Deforestation
(
Frontiers Media S.A.
, 2022 , Article)
Mangroves are important sinks of organic carbon (C) and there is significant interest in their use for greenhouse gas emissions mitigation. Adverse impacts on organic carbon storage potential from future climate change and ...
