This study proposed modifying the conceptual approach that is commonly used to model
development of stand attribute estimates using airborne LiDAR data. New models were …

A detailed and accurate knowledge of land cover is crucial for many scientific and
operational applications, and as such, it has been identified as an Essential Climate …

From 1994 to 2013, French forensic entomology laboratories investigated 1,093 cases.
Larder beetles (Coleoptera: Dermestidae) were observed in 81 (7.5%) of these cases. To …

Most statistical models of microclimate focus on the difference or 'offset'between
standardized air temperatures (macroclimate) and those of a specific habitat such as forest …

The impact of intra-seasonal climate variability on inter-annual variation in winter wheat and
grain maize yields over 92 French administrative regions is assessed. Observed monthly …

Abstract Ixodes ricinus ticks (Acari: Ixodidae) are the most important vector for Lyme
borreliosis in Europe. As climate change might affect their distributions and activities, this …

This study analyses mobile measurements of urban temperatures in Dijon (eastern France)
to quantify the influence of urban form on the micro-scale variability of air temperature. A …

The evolution of the climate in the future will probably lead to an increase in extreme rainfall
events, particularly in the Mediterranean regions. This change in rainfall patterns will have …

Background The global spread of Aedes albopictus has exposed new geographical areas to
the risk of dengue and chikungunya virus transmission. Several autochthonous transmission …

Several typologies of urban surface properties have been proposed, in recent years, for
urban heat island studies and climate modeling. Some were specifically developed for cities …
