    Investigation of floristic similarities between Taiwan and terrestrial ecoregions in Asia using GBIF data by Chi-Cheng Liao, Chih-Hui Chen

    Published 2017-03-01
    “…Similarity index and cluster analysis were used to identify the floristic similarities among 22 geographical localities of Taiwan (GLTs) and 34 terrestrial ecoregions in Asia. Geographical distribution ranges of non-endemic angiosperm species in Taiwan (NEASTs) were evaluated to mirror the possible migration routes from different source areas to Taiwan. …”

    Evaluation of Global Fire Weather Database reanalysis and short-term forecast products by R. D. Field, R. D. Field

    Published 2020-04-01
    “…<p>Daily Fire Weather Index (FWI) System components calculated from the NASA Modern-Era Retrospective analysis for Research and Applications, Version 2 (MERRA-2), are compared to FWI calculations from a global network of weather stations over 2004–2018, and short-term, experimental (8&thinsp;d) daily FWI forecasts are evaluated for their skill across the Terrestrial Ecoregions of the World for 2018. FWI components from MERRA-2 were, in general, biased low compared to station data, but this reflects a mix of coherent low and high biases of different magnitudes. …”
