NEWS AND VIEWS 19 February 2020 Analysis of a unique global data set reveals how the species diversity of birds is affected by the properties of archipelagos and offers a way to test an influential theory. Has this improved our understanding of island biodiversity patterns. Kostas A. Triantis & Kostas A. Triantis is in the […] More
COMMENT 18 February 2020 The conservation community must be able to track countries’ progress in protecting wetlands, reefs, forests and more, argue James Watson and colleagues. James E. M. Watson, James E. M. Watson is a professor of conservation science at the University of Queensland, St Lucia, Australia, and director of the Science and Research […] More
Field experiments were conducted in Yongan (28°09′N, 113°37′E, 43 m asl), Hunan Province, China in the late rice-growing season in 2017 and 2018. The site has a moist subtropical monsoon climate. Average daily solar radiation and mean temperature during the rice-growing season were 12.9 MJ m−2 d−1 and 25.7 °C in 2017 and 15.1 MJ m−2 d−1 […] More

Climate reconstruction Monthly climate data (temperature, precipitation and cloud cover) covering the past 50,000 years were obtained from the HadCM3 global circulation model46. These data are at 1000-year intervals between present and 22,000 years before present (BP) and at 2000-year intervals between 22,000 and 50,000 BP. The original simulation data on a 2.5° × 3.5° were bias […] More
