Sentences with phrase «moisture availability»

That would have been a good year in terms of moisture availability during the growing season.

However, this link between climate warming and heavy rainfall has only been examined in particular regions where moisture availability is relatively high.

The additional atmospheric water vapour implies increased moisture availability for precipitation.

Hence, changes in the tree line may reflect changing climate with respect to moisture availability instead of temperature changes.

This decrease in mean rainfall occurs despite an increase in seasonal mean low - level moisture convergence and convective available potential energy expected from increased moisture availability in response to atmospheric warming.

Until now, no research has been undertaken that examines this relationship in dryland regions where short, sharp rainstorms are the dominant source of precipitation and where moisture availability on land is extremely limited.

However, the interannual effects of El Niño and La Niña may be enhanced by global warming and extra moisture availability.

Ultimately, in forests not otherwise limited by energy or nutrients variability in moisture availability with natural and climate oscillations may drive establishment success between years (League and Veblen 2006), with indirect disturbance effects (e.g., fires, landslides, insect outbreaks, and pathogen attacks) greatly affecting long - term recruitment success (Clark et al. 2016).

«The result,» Brenner says, «appears to be that climate factors, especially moisture availability, determine whether C3 or C4 plants dominate in an area, not CO2.»

This may be due to decreased moisture availability at these temperatures, though Westra et al. note that «the mechanism that causes these moisture deficits remains to be investigated.»

If you do, perhaps I should point out that the slow response to scarring by solid ice is directly connected to the question of snowpack depth and the fast response to summer soil moisture availability.

Rosanne D'Arrigo, senior research scientist at the Tree Ring Lab at Columbia University «s Lamont - Doherty Earth Observatory, hypothesises that «beyond a certain threshold level of temperature the trees may become more stressed physiologically, especially if moisture availability does not increase at the same time.»

However, the interannual effects of El Niño and La Niña may be enhanced by global warming and extra moisture availability.

The map just shows the potential climate zone change and does not take into account soil type (or even if there is soil), topography, and moisture availability, yet many people simply take it, and other similar maps and assertions, at face value.
