HeatResilientCity II - work package 2.2: Influence of regional and urban climate on indoor overheating - Results of building performance simulation
<p>This repository contains the <strong>results of the building performance simulations</strong> carried out in the working package 2.2 Influence of regional and urban climate on indoor overheating of the project <a href="http://heatresilientcity.de/">HeatResilientCity II</a>. The buildings under consideration are a multi-residential so-called ‘Gründerzeithaus’ (GZH) and a large-panel construction (LPC) building. The results were extracted for two rooms on the top floor/attic of each building and follow a consistent name convention. Each file contains hourly resolved values for the outdoor air temperature, the indoor air temperature, the indoor operative temperature and the relative humidity indoors and outdoors. Further information can be found in the README of this repository. The simulations were performed for five <strong>different</strong> <strong>regions</strong> in Germany (Dresden, Hamburg, Köln, Stuttgart and Potsdam) for <strong>average present</strong> and <strong>future</strong> <strong>summers</strong> based on meteorological measurement data and under consideration of <strong>urban</strong> <strong>climate</strong>.</p> <p>In addition to the ‘plain’ simulation results, some <strong>heat-indicator variables</strong> were calculated and listed in the files <em>Calculated_Variables.txt</em>. The calculated quantities include temperature-weighted exceedance hours (TWEH) for the limits of 25, 26 and 27 °C (defined in DIN 4108-2:2013 as ‘Übertemperaturgradstunden’) and the maximum operative temperature calculated for the period from April to September.</p> <p>The used <strong>input data</strong> and <strong>building models</strong> can be found in the related repository.</p>
LAGOS-NE v.1.054.1 Lake water clarity time series (1987-2011), climate, and geophysical data for 601 lakes across a 17-state region of the United States
Time series of median summer water clarity (secchi) values from 601 unique lakes in the Midwest and Northeast United States. Water clarity observations were derived from the Lake Multi-Scaled Geospatial and Temporal Database LAGOS-NELIMNO version 1.054.1. These data were used to assess long-term changes in water clarity from 1987-2011, and the potential drivers of those trends (Lottig et al. in press). Summer open water period was used to approximate the stratified period in the study lakes, which was defined as June 15 to September 15. Over the 25-year time period, each lake had to have at least a single summer water clarity observation for 22 of 25 years. The median number of secchi measurements that were used to derive a single annual median value for each lake was approximately 9. Of the over 14,000 annual estimates of water clarity that we generated, only two percent of those annual values were generated from a single observation and median number of observations for each lake over the 25-year study period was 223. Each unique lake with water clarity data also has supporting geophysical data, including climate, land use, hydrology, and topography derived at multiple spatial scales. Lake-specific characteristics, such as depth and area, are also reported. The geospatial data came from LAGOS-NEGEO version 1.03 except for the annual climate data which was aggregated at the HUC8 spatial scale from monthly PRISM data. For more specific information on how LAGOS-NE was created, see Soranno et al. 2015. Citations: Lottig, N.R., P-N. Tan, T. Wager, K.S. Cheruvelil, P.A. Soranno, E.H. Stanley, C.E Scott, C.A.

Data from: Climatic damage cause variations of agricultural insurance loss for the Pacific Northwest region of the United States
<p>Agricultural crop insurance is an important component for mitigating farm risk, particularly given the potential for unexpected climatic events. Using a 2.8 million nationwide insurance claim dataset from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), this research study examines spatiotemporal variations of over 31,000 agricultural insurance loss claims across the 24-county region of the inland Pacific Northwest (iPNW) portion of the United States, from 2001 to 2022. Wheat is the dominant insurance loss crop for the region, accounting for over 2.8 billion dollars in indemnities, with over 1.5 billion dollars resulting in claims due to drought (across the 22 year time period). While fruit production generates considerably lesser insurance losses (400 million dollars) as a primary result of freeze, frost, and hail, overall revenue ranks number one for the region, with 2 billion dollars in sales, across the same time range. Principal components analysis of crop insurance claims showed distinct spatial and temporal differentiation in wheat and apple insurance losses using the range of damage causes as factor loadings. The first two factor loadings for wheat accounts for approximately 50 percent of total variance for the region, while a separate analysis of apples accounts for over 60 percent of total variance. These distinct orthogonal differences in losses by year and commodity in relationship to damage causes suggest that insurance loss analysis may serve as an effective barometer in gauging climatic influences.</p>

Neutral processes related to regional bee commonness and dispersal distances are important predictors of plant-pollinator networks along gradients of climate and landscape conditions
<p>Understanding how niche-based and neutral processes contribute to the spatial variation in plant-pollinator interactions is central to designing effective pollination conservation schemes. Such schemes are needed to reverse declines of wild bees and other pollinating insects and to promote pollination services to wild and cultivated plants. We used data on wild bee interactions with plants belonging to the four tribes Loteae, Trifolieae, Anthemideae, and either spring- or summer-flowering Cichorieae, sampled systematically along a 682km latitudinal gradient to build models that allowed us to (a) predict occurrences of pairwise bee-flower interactions across 115 sampling locations, and (b) estimate the contribution of variables hypothesized to be related to niche-based assembly structuring processes (viz. annual mean temperature, landscape diversity, bee sociality, bee phenology, and flower preferences of bees) and neutral processes (viz. regional commonness and dispersal distance to conspecifics). While neutral processes were important predictors of plant-pollinator distributions, niche-based processes were reflected in the contrasting distributions of solitary bee and bumble bees along the temperature gradient, and in the influence of bee flower preferences on the distribution of bee species across plant types. In particular, bee flower preferences separated bees into three main groups, albeit with some overlap: visitors to spring-flowering Cichorieae; visitors to Anthemideae and summer-flowering Cichorieae; and visitors to Trifolieae and Loteae. Our findings suggest that both neutral and niche-based processes are significant contributors to the spatial distribution of plant-pollinator interactions so that conservation actions in our region should be directed towards areas: near high concentrations of known occurrences of regionally rare bees; in mild climatic conditions; and that are surrounded by heterogeneous landscapes. Given the observed niche-based differences, the proportion of functionally distinct plants in flower-mixes could be chosen to target bee species, or guilds, of conservation concern.</p>
Random forest climatic modeling of agricultural insurance loss across the inland Pacific Northwest region of the United States
<p>We compared climatic relationships to insurance loss across the inland Pacific Northwest region of the United States, using a design matrix methodology, to identify optimum temporal windows for climate variables by county in relationship to wheat insurance loss due to drought. The results of our temporal window construction for water availability variables (precipitation, temperature, evapotranspiration, and the Palmer drought severity index [PDSI]) identified spatial patterns across the study area that aligned with regional climate patterns, particularly with regards to drought-prone counties of eastern Washington. Using these optimum time-lagged correlational relationships between insurance loss and individual climate variables, along with commodity pricing, we constructed a regression-based random forest model for insurance loss prediction and evaluation of climatic feature importance. Our cross-validated model results indicated that PDSI was the most important factor in predicting total seasonal wheat/drought insurance loss, with wheat pricing and potential evapotranspiration having noted contributions. Our overall regional model had a R<sup>2</sup> of 0.49 and a RMSE of $30.8 million. Model performance typically underestimated annual losses, with moderate spatial variability in terms of performance between counties.</p>
Limited movement of an avian hybrid zone in relation to regional variation in magnitude of climate change
<p>Studies of natural hybrid zones can provide documentation of range shifts in response to climate change and identify loci important to reproductive isolation. Using a temporal (36–38 years) comparison of the black-capped (<em>Poecile atricapillus</em>) and Carolina (<em>P. carolinensis</em>) chickadee hybrid zone, we investigated movement of the western portion of the zone (western Missouri) and assessed whether loci and pathways underpinning reproductive isolation were similar to those in the eastern portion of the hybrid zone. Using 92 birds sampled along the hybrid zone transect in 2016 and 68 birds sampled between 1978 and 1980, we generated 11,669 SNPs via ddRADseq. These SNPs were used to assess movement of the hybrid zone through time and to evaluate variation in introgression among loci. We demonstrate that the interface has moved ~5 km to the northwest over the last 36–38 years, i.e., at only one-fifth the rate at which the eastern portion (e.g., Pennsylvania, Ohio) of the hybrid zone has moved. Temperature trends over the last 38 years reveal that eastern areas have warmed 50% more than western areas in terms of annual mean temperature, possibly providing an explanation for the slower movement of the hybrid zone in Missouri. Our results suggest hybrid zone movement in broadly distributed species, such as chickadees, will vary between areas in response to local differences in the impacts of climate change.</p>

Bumble bee responses to climate and landscapes: Investigating habitat associations and species assemblages across geographic regions in the United States of America
<p><span>Bumble bees are integral pollinators of native and cultivated plant communities, but species are undergoing significant changes in range and abundance on a global scale. Climate change and land cover alteration are key drivers in pollinator declines; however, limited research has evaluated the cumulative effects of these factors on bumble bee<em> </em>assemblages. This study tests bumble bee assemblage (calculated as richness and abundance) responses to climate and land use by <span>modeling </span>species-specific habitat requirements, and assemblage-level responses across geographic regions. <span>We integrated species richness, abundance, and distribution data for 18 bumble bee species with site-specific bioclimatic, landscape composition, and landscape configuration data to evaluate</span> the effects of multiple environmental stressors <span>on bumble bee assemblages throughout</span> 433 agricultural fields in<span> Florida, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland, South Carolina, Utah, Virginia, and West Virginia from 2018 to 2020. Distinct east vs. west groupings emerged when evaluating species-specific habitat associations, prompting a detailed evaluation of bumble bee assemblages by geographic region. Maximum temperature of warmest month and precipitation of driest month had a positive impact on bumble bee assemblages in the Corn Belt/Appalachian/northeast, southeast, and northern plains regions, but a negative impact in the mountain region. Further, </span>forest land cover surrounding agricultural fields was highlighted as supporting more rich and abundant bumble bee assemblages<span>. Overall, climate and land use combine to drive bumble bee assemblages, but how those processes operate is idiosyncratic and spatially contingent across regions. From these findings, we suggested regionally specific management practices to best support rich and abundant bumble bee assemblages in agroecosystems. </span>Results from this study contribute to a better understanding of climate and landscape factors affecting bumble bees and their habitats throughout the USA. </span></p>
