- 分析不同的植被类型 (森林,草原,荒地) 如何应对气候变化.
- 探索干旱在调节这些植被气候关系中的作用.
主要方法:
- 使用的规范差异植被指数 (NDVI) 数据.
- 采用了三组气象数据,包括降水和温度.
- 分析了植被与气候关系 (RNDVI-GP,RNDVI-GT) 的趋势,以及它们与干旱指标 (如蒸汽压力缺口 (VPD) 和土壤水量 (SWV) 的相关性.
主要成果:
- 在所有植被类型中,生长季节NDVI和降水 (RNDVI-GP) 之间的关系显著下降.

Global Climate Change
24.3K
Throughout its ~4.5 billion year history, the Earth has experienced periods of warming and cooling. However, the current drastic increase in global temperatures is well outside of the Earth’s cyclic norms, and evidence for human-caused global climate change is compelling. Paleoclimatology, the study of ancient climate conditions, provides ample evidence for human-caused global climate change by comparing recent conditions with those in the past.

What is Climate?
18.4K
Climate refers to the prevailing weather conditions in a specific area over an extended period. As the saying goes, “Climate is what you expect. Weather is what you get.” Climate is influenced by geographic factors, such as latitude, terrain, and proximity to bodies of water.

Responses to Heat and Cold Stress
13.4K
Every organism has an optimum temperature range within which healthy growth and physiological functioning can occur. At the ends of this range, there will be a minimum and maximum temperature that interrupt biological processes.

Biological Clocks and Seasonal Responses
34.6K
The circadian—or biological—clock is an intrinsic, timekeeping, molecular mechanism that allows plants to coordinate physiological activities over 24-hour cycles called circadian rhythms. Photoperiodism is a collective term for the biological responses of plants to variations in the relative lengths of dark and light periods. The period of light-exposure is called the photoperiod.

Adaptations that Reduce Water Loss
25.4K
Though evaporation from plant leaves drives transpiration, it also results in loss of water. Because water is critical for photosynthetic reactions and other cellular processes, evolutionary pressures on plants in different environments have driven the acquisition of adaptations that reduce water loss.
