Urban environments lie at the confluence of social, cultural, and economic activities and
have unique biophysical characteristics due to continued infrastructure development that …

The elevated air temperature of a city, urban heat island (UHI), increases the heat and
pollution-related mortality, reduces the habitats' comfort and elevates the mean and peak …

Urban heat island (UHI), the phenomenon that urban areas experience higher temperatures
compared to their surrounding rural areas, has significant socioeconomic and environmental …

The role of modern climatic microrefugia is a neglected aspect in the study of biotic
responses to anthropogenic climate change. Current projections of species redistribution at …

Deforestation and fires in the Amazon are serious problems affecting climate, and land use
and land cover (LULC) changes. In recent decades, the Amazon biome area has suffered …

Urban landscape structure has profound impacts on the urban thermal environment (UTE),
however, the spatial hierarchy and interaction effects of the relationship between them are …

Rapid urbanization has significantly contributed to the development of urban heat island
(UHI). Regulating landscape composition and configuration would help mitigate the UHI in …

Species distribution models (SDMs) have rapidly evolved into one of the most widely used
tools to answer a broad range of ecological questions, from the effects of climate change to …

Aim Although species distribution models (SDMs) traditionally link species occurrences to
free‐air temperature data at coarse spatio‐temporal resolution, the distribution of organisms …

The process of the surface urban heat island (SUHI) varies with latitude, climate, topography
