  • With an average temperature increase of 3.6-4.0 °C, changes in simulated productivity at sites that currently have a mild climate were again caused predominantly by changes in tree species growth. (lu.se)
  • In order to create denser maps for common species, in many places we also did spot surveys spaced every 0.1 to 0.5 mile in which we recorded all the species found within about 100 feet of each spot. (tchester.org)
  • Separate statistical analyses were conducted for each community to determine how well recent and ancient events - both climatic and human - could account for present-day diets, body sizes, and species variation. (scitechdaily.com)
  • There was some variation within several Fragaria species. (ishs.org)
  • Transmission of these species does not occur within the United States (including Puerto Rico) and Canada, but the disease may be present in travelers and immigrants from endemic areas. (msdmanuals.com)
  • This study shows that as the ocean temperatures rise species are beginning to travel into the cold and harsh Arctic waters. (wikipedia.org)

  • Brassicaceae is a vast family of plants including 372 genera and 4,006 species contributing to condiments, biofuel, food, oil, and fulfilling fodder demands for the ecosystem 1 . (nature.com)
  • If the current climate is what's most important for where you see species, then as climate changes, we might expect species to track climate to the best of their abilities," she said. (scitechdaily.com)
  • Why is species distribution important? (scienceoxygen.com)
  • The B. carinata (Ethiopian mustard, BBCC, 2n = 4X = 34) is an important species that contains 17 sets of chromosomes with a genome size of 1.087 Gb. (nature.com)
  • The grid cell values represent the number of species in a particular class, family or IUCN threatened category. (columbia.edu)
