This perspective paper reviews progress made in the last decades to enhance the communication and use of climate information relevant to the political and economic decision process. It focuses, specifically, on the ...

We present a fossil pollen analysis from a swamp forest in the semiarid coast of Chile (32 degrees 05'S; 71 degrees 30'W), at the northern influence zone of southern westerly wind belt. A similar to 10,000 cal yr BP (calendar ...

Few events have had an impact as the global crisis caused by COVID-19. However, prior to the pandemic, Latin American and Caribbean (LAC) countries already had severe problems in terms of inequality, environmental degradation, ...

Plant functional traits can predict community assembly and ecosystem functioning and are thus widely used in global models of vegetation dynamics and land–climate feedbacks. Still, we lack a global understanding of how ...

Holocene fire-climate-vegetation linkages are mostly understood at individual sites by comparing charcoal and pollen records with other paleoenvironmental proxy and model simulations. This scale of reconstruction often ...

Species climate requirements are useful for predicting their geographic distribution. It is often assumed that the niche requirements for invasive plants are conserved during invasion, especially when the invaded regions ...

Background and Aims: Central Chile represents a large area of viticultural potential for high-quality wine production. Although climate has been commonly accepted as one of the main drivers of Chilean viticultural success, ...

The updated Koppen-Geiger climate classification for continental Chile is a cartographic product of great interest for climate research in the South American context. This study included 200 weather stations and climate ...

En este trabajo se desarrollan los fundamentos de la geotermia de muy baja entalpía y su uso en la climatización de edificios, se revisan los aspectos conceptuales que motivan el desarrollo de esta tecnología, se explica ...
