Substantial evidence shows that most of China's terrestrial ecosystems are important carbon
sinks. However, the nonlinear trend of the carbon sinks and their nonlinear response to …

We explored the influence of climatic factors on diversity patterns of multiple taxa (lichens,
bryophytes, and vascular plants) along a steep elevational gradient to predict communities' …

Heat stress is an important threat for human health and urban areas are affected at higher
rates compared to rural environments. Additionally, climate change will increase the …

Modelling the probable effect of global warming on precipitation over the northern sub-
Himalayan region is very important to ensure sustainable water supply for Pakistan. The aim …

Woody encroachment converts savanna systems to forests, altering the composition and
productivity of native forage species and the supply of several ecosystem services. In this …

Lichens are symbiotic organisms sensitive to climate change and susceptible to a severe
decline in diversity, especially in high elevation environments that are already threatened. In …

Are the variations of the fine predictors at the spatial scale of the target variable to be
downscaled helpful for spatial downscaling? However, few studies have explored this topic …

Abstract The Zagros Mountains in Iran, part of the Irano-Anatolian biodiversity hotspot, are
renowned for their Astragalus diversity. This study employed stratified random sampling to …

In this study, a hybrid stepwise-cluster variance analysis (HSVA) method is developed for
generating future climate projections and identifying critical drivers of temperature and …

Meteorological datasets with high-precision and high spatiotemporal resolution are an
important base in many applications, such as climatology, ecology, and hydrology. To …
