Background Observed increases in the frequency and intensity of heatwave events, together
with the projected acceleration of these events worldwide, has led to a rapid expansion in …

Many important events occur at birth. The fetus is suddenly removed from a protected intra-
uterine environment that is aquatic, warm, and nearly sterile, to the dry, cold external world …

Background: Few studies have examined variation in the associations between heat waves
and mortality in an international context. Objectives: We aimed to systematically examine the …

The cycling of soil organic matter (SOM) and carbon (C) within the soil is governed by the
presence of key macronutrients, particularly nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P). The relative …

Introduction Microbial generalists and specialists are thought to have distinct impacts on
community dynamics, while there have been limited efforts to estimate their contribution to …

Long residence times of soil organic matter have been attributed to reactive mineral surface
sites that sorb organic species and cause inaccessibility due to physical isolation and …

Objectives Heatwaves have been linked to increased levels of health service demand in
Australia. This systematic literature review aimed to explore health service demand during …

Background: This study aims to investigate the current impacts of extreme temperature and
heatwaves on human health in terms of both mortality and morbidity. This systematic review …

Soil carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) cycles and their complex responses to environmental
changes have received increasing attention. However, large uncertainties in model …

How soil processes such as carbon cycling will respond to future climate change depends
on the responses of complex microbial communities, but most ecosystem models assume …
