Influence of climate factors on the formation of radial increment of walnut wood by Leonid Osadсhuk, Volodymyr Mahuran, Liubov Kondratiuk

“…In particular, it was found that in May, only during a short period of the years studied (1995-2001), the level of precipitation was optimal - 40-50 mm, over the course of four years (2003, 2004, 2009 and 2013), it decreased slightly – 30- 40 mm. The statistical analysis of annual increments shows their suitability for further analysis since these series have an inter-series correlation coefficient of 0.59 for the plantation forest and 0.55 for the natural forest stand. …”

Physically based modelling of glacier evolution under climate change in the tropical Andes by J. D. Mackay, J. D. Mackay, N. E. Barrand, D. M. Hannah, E. Potter, E. Potter, N. Montoya, W. Buytaert

“…Only by forcing the model with observed net radiation variables were we able to capture observed surface albedo dynamics. When driven with statistically downscaled climate change projections, the JULES–OGGM simulations indicate that, contrary to point-scale energy balance studies, sublimation plays a very minor role in glacier evolution at the basin scale and does not bring about significant non-linearities in the glacier response to climate warming. …”
