Bioclimatology deals with the interrelation between climate and living organisms, in
particular, plants and plant communities, considering the main climate variables that are …

Among several variables affecting climate change and climate variability, temperature plays
a crucial role in the process because its variations in monthly and extreme values can …

Iodine, a micronutrient that plays a pivotal role in thyroid hormone synthesis, is essential for
proper health at all life stages. Indeed, an insufficient iodine intake may determine a thyroid …

The analyses of temperature extremes can be very useful because they are highly
representative of the climatic tendency of an area. In this study, 19 temperature series …

In this study, an analysis of precipitation and temperature data has been performed over 67
series observed in a region of southern Italy (Calabria). At first, to detect possible trends in …

Stochastic simulators can effectively generate the intrinsic variability of the rainfall process,
which is an important issue in the analysis of the projections uncertainties. In this paper, a …

Bioclimatic classification is an effective approach to reflect and investigate the role of climate
in determining the potential natural vegetation distribution at different temporal and spatial …

A damaging hydrogeological event (DHE) is characterized by two components: a rainfall
event and a subsequent damage event, which is the result of floods and landslides triggered …

The present article investigates dry and wet periods in a large area of the Mediterranean
basin. First, a stochastic model was applied to a homogeneous database of monthly …

In this paper, the temporal tendencies of temperature data from the island of Sardinia (Italy)
were analyzed by considering 48 data series in the period 1982–2011. In particular, monthly …
