Sentence examples for climate envelope from inspiring English sources
In a comprehensive study physiological measurements of the Australian gecko Heteronotia binoei were combined with high-resolution climatic data to calculate the species' climate envelope and to project it into geographic space [19].
The climate envelope paradigm (the range of climatic requirements or tolerances) [ 1] is often criticised as a simplistic approach in modelling species distributions as it systematically excludes the influence of biotic factors on species distributions [ 2, 3].
B.G.H. performed the climate envelope model analysis.
Finally, they calculated how much of the species' "climate envelope" would be left under different warming scenarios.
They typically calculate the "climate envelope" in which species live today, and then use global warming projections to find where their climate envelopes will be in the future.
For some species, the climate envelope that surrounds them moves decorously poleward or upward through undeveloped land, and the species can be assumed to move with it.
These generally aimed on climatic suitability, i.e. the species' climate envelopes [6] [10].
We developed a novel metric of the climate stability for 803 ecoregions based on a recently introduced method to estimate the overlap of climate envelopes.
We identified climate refugia, areas providing suitable habitat under both current and shifted climates, obviating the challenge for species with low dispersal capabilities to track rapidly changing climate envelopes.
Past studies on the relationship between the growth of Chinese fir and climate factors have primarily focused on the analysis of suitable climate envelopes throughout its distribution (Wei et al. 1991; Guan 1989; Shi 1994; Wu and Hong 1984; Zhang 1995).
Usually, an assessment of climate change impacts on forest species change is based on modeling, rooted on the approach of using climate envelopes of temperature and precipitation limits to define boundaries of tree species, or forest functional types that are supposed to be stable assemblages of tree species (Iverson et al. 2008; Sitch et al. 2008).
