How using gridded data sets may lead to wrong conclusions about changes in climate variability
When addressing climate change and climate variability over large regions, gridded data are often preferred to station-based data because they help avoiding bias arising from the irregular spatial distribution of the observations. Gridded data refers here to spatially interpolated values from a finite set of spatially scattered individual observations, usually on a regular mesh of points or cells. Spatial interpolation […]
Inertia or reprise? Reconstructing recent alpine treeline dynamics in relation to climate change.
Alpine treelines (the altitudinal limit of the habitat at which trees are capable of growing) are considered monitors of the effects of climate change on forest growth and dynamics. Treelines are expected to react to current climate warming by showing upslope migrations. However, treeline dynamics are often characterized by lagged responses to rising temperatures, that […]
