Book Description
In accompanying documents (DE6 and Use of vegetation maps .. Part III, in prep.), we investigate published literature on differences between vegetation types and examine patterns of climatic, edaphic and topographic interpolated surface layers. These investigations revealed that floristic differences explain in part how the PNV types can be differentiated. Here we provide greater detail on how PNV types differ floristically. We describe the methods used and the degree of reliability and present species lists by PNV type. We discuss the use of the tentative species distribution maps in the broader context of statistical modelling approaches. Finally we discuss the potential and limitations of using the PNV.

Book Description
This document provides an analysis of a potential natural vegetation (PNV) map of South Western Kenya. The objective of the analysis was to evaluate potential vegetation maps as a tool for predicting spatial variation in climate, eco-regions and in distributions of indigenous woody species. We describe the contents of the original map and of the digitised synthesised map. We then analyse how well the different vegetation types can be discerned by climatic parameters and we discuss the implications of the analysis. In two accompanying reports we, respectively, discuss the process of providing lists of indigenous tree species for the different PNV types (DE7) and explore in greater detail the relationship between environmental characteristics and PNV types.

The Ocean and Cryosphere in a Changing Climate
Author: Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 9781009157971
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 755
Book Description
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is the leading international body for assessing the science related to climate change. It provides policymakers with regular assessments of the scientific basis of human-induced climate change, its impacts and future risks, and options for adaptation and mitigation. This IPCC Special Report on the Ocean and Cryosphere in a Changing Climate is the most comprehensive and up-to-date assessment of the observed and projected changes to the ocean and cryosphere and their associated impacts and risks, with a focus on resilience, risk management response options, and adaptation measures, considering both their potential and limitations. It brings together knowledge on physical and biogeochemical changes, the interplay with ecosystem changes, and the implications for human communities. It serves policymakers, decision makers, stakeholders, and all interested parties with unbiased, up-to-date, policy-relevant information. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.
