We collected atmospheric pollution, meteorological factors, and hospitalisation data for ischemic heart disease (IHD) in Xinxiang, Henan Province, from 2016 to 2021. Using a time-stratified case-crossover design and conditional Poisson regression analysis, we explored the association between atmospheric pollutants (particulate matter with diameter ≤ 2.5 μm [PM2.5], particulate matter with diameter ≤ 10 μm [PM10], nitrogen dioxide [NO2], carbon monoxide [CO]), meteorological factors, and IHD hospitalizations. We evaluated synergistic effects using relative excess risk due to interaction (RERI), attribute proportion (AP), and synergy index (S). PM2.5, PM10, NO2, CO, relative humidity, and cold spells were significantly associated with IHD hospitalization risk. Significant interaction effects (RERI > 0, AP > 0, S > 1) were found in PM2.5-PM10-NO2 combinations. The attributable fractions were 3.4-7.3% for pollutant combinations and 8-17% during cold spells with different PM2.5 levels. Males and individuals aged ≥ 65 were more susceptible to pollutants, while females and elderly individuals showed higher sensitivity to cold spells. These findings provide evidence for optimizing extreme weather warning systems and reducing air pollution exposure to protect public health.","PeriodicalId":588,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Biometeorology","volume":" ","pages":"1397-1406"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143750540","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, twenty-nine exotic common bean lines, along with three local checks, were evaluated using an augmented design in Shimla (Northern Hill Zone, NHZ) during rainy season (July-November) and in Kanpur (Northern Plain Zone, NPZ) during winter (November-March) across two consecutive years (2020-2022). The study objective was to evaluate site-specific genotypic responses to environmental factors, eco-phenological dynamics, genotype-by-environment interactions, and identify superior exotic breeding lines of common bean. Results indicated that crop yield in NPZ was 33-41% lower compared to NHZ. The vegetative and reproductive phases were extended by 7.8-8.7 days and 5.3-6.7 days, respectively, in NPZ compared to NHZ. Notably, minimum temperatures during flowering (TMINF) and the reproductive period (TMINR), along with relative humidity, showed significant positive associations with yield, highlighting the crop's sensitivity to low temperatures in NPZ. Multivariate analysis revealed that extended crop duration and lower TMINF and TMINR negatively affected yield. Linear mixed-model analysis confirmed that variation in crop-stage-specific temperatures and the lengths of vegetative and reproductive phases, driven by environmental factors, significantly influenced crop yield. The accessions EC931971, EC931452, and ARUN, which exhibited longer reproductive phases, higher seed weight, and more pods plant- 1, were identified as high-yielding and stable lines. The study suggests that breeding for low-temperature tolerance is crucial for improving yields in NPZ, and the identified exotic lines could be valuable genetic resources for crop improvement programs.","PeriodicalId":588,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Biometeorology","volume":" ","pages":"1367-1382"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143707877","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We examined long-term spatiotemporal trends in spring development of cranberry buds using field observations of cranberry bud stages over a 65-yr period, spanning from 1958-2022. A growing degree day (GDD) model was further used to interpret the observed trends in bud development over the study period. To assess spatial variability in cranberry bud development, the GDDs were computed using gridded weather data for four counties of Massachusetts, representing 85% of the state's cranberry acreage. A Theil-Sen linear regression model was implemented to determine trends in the occurrence of the bud stages. Field observations revealed significant temporal trends (p-value < 0.01) in the annual timing of white bud and cabbage head stages, occurring 18-20 days earlier in the spring than 65 years ago. This earlier bud development can increase the risk of frost damage, especially during late-spring freezes. GDDs accumulated at a faster rate towards the end of the study period due to rising air temperatures. Analysis of 65 years of gridded data revealed a significant trend of earlier development across the four counties. The rate of advancement in cabbage head stage ranged from -0.15 to -0.25 d yr -1 across the study area. These findings highlight the need for updated frost forecasting models that account for the changing growth schedule of cranberry.","PeriodicalId":588,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Biometeorology","volume":" ","pages":"1297-1309"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143676752","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, limited information is available on the variations in temperature extremes onset times. In this paper, we defined a set of evaluation indexes to quantify the onset times of temperature extremes. The spatiotemporal evolution of the onset times of temperature extremes in the Poyang Lake basin, China, was analyzed using daily temperature data from 87 meteorological stations in the area, covering the 1960-2022 period. The association between the onset times of temperature extremes and atmospheric circulations was further investigated in this study. We found that: (1) The onset times of all cold temperature events displayed a significant delaying trend (P < 0.01), while the onset times of all warm temperature events displayed a significant advancing trend (P < 0.05). (2) The variations in the onset times of temperature extremes were associated with atmospheric circulations. The Western Pacific Subtropical High-Intensity Index (WPSHI) and the Northern Hemisphere Subtropical High Area Index (NHSHAI) both correlated significantly negatively with the hot day onset date (SD30) (P < 0.01); the Arctic Oscillation (AO) showed significant positive and negative correlations with the frost onset date (SD0) (P < 0.05) and the warm season onset date (SD5) (P < 0.05), respectively.

We sought to assess the temperatures experienced in minibus taxis, a common mode of transport in South Africa and in minibus taxi ranks as well as the heat-related perceptions of minibus taxi drivers working in the Chesterville Taxi Association in Durban. We also observed heat-related elements in minibus taxi ranks. Data from temperature loggers showed that temperatures inside minibus taxis reached up to 39 °C and were between 3-4 °C warmer than outdoors. For around 11 h every day, temperatures inside minibus taxis were warmer than 27 °C - the temperature that is linked to heat-health symptoms. Taxi drivers (N = 16) all agreed they feel hot in the minibus taxi and more than 90% said they drink water to try to cool down. Taxi ranks were lacking in supply of drinking water and shade for minibus taxis and seating. With the projected increase in temperatures caused by climate change, it is imperative to co-develop mitigation and adaptation strategies to minimise heat-related human health impacts in minibus taxis and taxi ranks especially in low- and middle-income countries.","PeriodicalId":588,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Biometeorology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143960695","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
