In north-western Patagonia, where data on climate-driven species distribution are scarce, our study provides valuable insights by providing microclimatic models covering spatiotemporal dynamics at 30 × 30 m resolution. Applying in-situ data from 2022 to 2024, we employed a random forest-based regression to assess the impact of several biophysical predictor variables describing terrain and vegetation properties on four microclimatic response variables at three vertical levels within forests. We also interpolated this data spatiotemporally, using statistical downscaling of ERA5 data. Our analysis reveals that the influence of the predictor variables varies strongly by month and response variable. Moreover, significant variability was observed between the models and months regarding their explanatory power and error range. For instance, the model predicting maximum air temperature at a 2 m height achieved an R² of 0.88 and an RMSE of 1.5 °C, while the model for minimum air temperature resulted in an R² of 0.73 and an RMSE of 1.8 °C. Our model approach provides a benchmark for spatiotemporal projections in this data-scarce region, aligned with the climate normal from 1981 to 2010. Future refinement could benefit from data on snow cover, land use and land cover, soil, as well as structural information on vegetation over an extended period, to enhance the dynamical aspects of microclimatic modelling. We are confident that our present model will substantially enhance possibilities to analyse species distribution across vegetation types and terrain-related features within the area.","PeriodicalId":588,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Biometeorology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143707979","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":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-25","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}

Previous studies have shown that different actions taken by various stakeholder groups at different stages of urban regeneration can affect the outcomes of urban regeneration. However, few studies have investigated the environmental impacts on the urban regeneration plots and their surroundings during the urban regeneration implementation stage under the leadership of different stakeholders. Therefore, this study selected 12 plots under three urban regeneration models-government-led, government-enterprise cooperation-led, and multi-stakeholder cooperation-led-and examined the median or mean values of land surface temperature, air temperature, carbon monoxide concentration, nitrogen dioxide concentration, and sulfur dioxide concentration for each season over four years, from pre-regeneration to the implementation stage. It analyzed the urban heat and pollution effects within the plots and in multiple ring buffer zones of 50 m, 150 m, and 350 m outside the plots. The results indicated that: (1) The land surface temperature within the plots was significantly influenced by urban regeneration, while the impact on air quality was not as noticeable; (2) During winter, the urban heat and pollution within the plots were least affected by the implementation of urban regeneration; (3) Urban regeneration models with government involvement as the leading party were more likely to mitigate the impact of urban regeneration project implementation on urban heat and pollution. These findings are of significant importance for furthering the sustainability of urban regeneration.","PeriodicalId":588,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Biometeorology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143699460","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}

This highly efficient insect vector transmits corn stunting pathogens resulting in significant yield losses in corn fields. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between CL abundance and pathogen infection in adult CL with weather variables, day of the year (DOY), and corn season in four Brazilian corn-producing areas using artificial neural networks (ANN). We developed three ANN models, using monitoring data from 2019 to 2023, for year-round forewarning of CL populations and infection of corn stunt spiroplasma (CSS) and maize bushy stunt phytoplasma (MBSP) in CL adults. The best-fit models demonstrated strong correlations in the validation set for CL abundance (0.71), and substantial classification agreement for both CSS (0.81) and MBSP (0.81). The final inputs for the models included relative humidity, air temperature, wind speed, DOY, corn season, and CL abundance. The presence of corn plants and DOY are manageable factors for achieving CL and mollicute control. This can be made by eliminating volunteer plants, reducing planting windows, and avoiding late-plantings. Our results are suitable for further predictions and offer essential guidance to be incorporated into the IPM of D. maidis and to better understand CSS and MBSP infection on a large-scale. Lastly, ANN is a reliable machine-learning algorithm to predict vector population dynamics and the infection of phytopathogens in D. maidis.","PeriodicalId":588,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Biometeorology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143673147","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":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-21","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}

Investigating weather effects associated with weather fronts may provide more insights. Meteorological parameters are grouped into classes describing biotropic weather conditions influencing human health. Known as bio-synop classes, they impact human health by influencing biological processes. Our study explores the relationship between these classes and aSAH occurrence and severity using data from our neurovascular center and the German national weather registry. Data from 605 aSAH patients treated between 2006 and 2021 was analyzed. The Kruskal-Wallis Test was used to assess the incidence and severity of aSAH, classified by Hunt&Hess (HH) grades across bio-synop classes. Additionally, we explored seasonal clustering of aSAH events. While no significant difference in ASAH incidence across specific bio-synop classes was observed (p = 0.165), class 4 \"Low-pressure with cold air advection\" was significantly associated with a higher incidence of poorer HH grades (p = 0.022). Further, we observed a decrease in aSAH cases in June in month-to-month comparisons (May vs. June p < 0.001). Although bio-synop classes may not directly affect aSAH incidence, they appear linked to aSAH severity. The reduction in June aSAH cases suggests a potential seasonal influence, indicating a complex interplay of environmental factors warranting further investigation.","PeriodicalId":588,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Biometeorology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143630152","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}
