Permafrost degradation poses serious threats to both natural and human systems through its
influence on ecological–hydrological processes, infrastructure stability, and the climate …

Geographical names and the entities they represent act as a fundamental cornerstone
across numerous disciplines. However, inconsistent geographical names and arbitrarily …

Understanding how extreme climates affect vegetation is of great importance for the
protection of ecosystems. However, most of previous studies focused on the impact of …

Vegetation changes are expected to alter soil thermal regimes, consequently modifying
climate feedbacks related to frozen ground thawing and carbon cycling in cold regions. The …

Abstract Changes in land use and land cover in the Brazilian semiarid region have
intensified, due to climate change and anthropic activities, amplifying land degradation and …

Vegetation cover creates competing effects on land surface temperature: it typically cools
through enhancing energy dissipation and warms via decreasing surface albedo. Global …

Abstract The Tibetan Plateau (TP) is an important component of the global climate system,
while the characteristics of its climate are poorly represented in most regional climate …

Land degradation (LD) and desertification (DS) are a sensitive global issue including
southern and south-eastern Europe, which is severely affected by climate change. In this …

The climate system of the Third Pole region, including the (TP) and its surroundings, is
highly sensitive to global warming. Mesoscale convective systems (MCSs) are understood to …

Surface energy exchange is vital because it affects microclimate, water cycle and
biogeochemical processes in the canopy-atmosphere interface. In this study, seasonal …
