Impacts of climate change on airborne Quercus pollen trends in Andalusia region (southern Spain) Reg. Environ. Change (IF 4.2) Pub Date : 2024-03-20
Abstract Quercus species are the most frequent autochthonous arboreal taxa in the natural areas of Andalusia region (southern Spain). Due to their abundance and anemophilous character, high airborne pollen concentrations are detected in natural and urban areas of the region. Variations in its reproductive phenology can be considered an important bio-indicator regarding the impacts of climate change

Two decades of accelerated deforestation in Peruvian forests: a national and regional analysis (2000–2020) Reg. Environ. Change (IF 4.2) Pub Date : 2024-03-13
Abstract The global tree cover has kept reducing in the last two decades, mainly in tropical forests, despite the global efforts to conserve biodiversity and the ecosystem services that provides. Considering South America is the region that had the highest rate of net forest loss (2000–2020), it is crucial to understand the deforestation dynamics of each country and their regions for the evaluation
