The main factors influencing the spatiotemporal variability of urban climate are quite widely
recognized, including, for example, the thermal properties of materials used for surfaces and …

Context Urban environments create a wide range of habitats that harbour a great diversity of
plant species, many of which are of alien origin. For future urban planning and management …

The complete list of all Holocene mollusc succession sites sampled by standard techniques
in the area of the Czech and Slovak Republics is presented, 30 years after the last one. All …
