The highest temperature ever measured in Texas was 120 °F (48.9 °C), recorded on August 12, 1936 in Seymour, during the 1936 North American Heatwave, and again on June 28, 1994 in Monahans. The lowest temperature ever measured in Texas was −23 °F (−30.6 °C), recorded on February 8, 1933 in Seminole. [29]
There is an ongoing decline in plant biodiversity, just like there is ongoing biodiversity loss for many other life forms. One of the causes for this decline is climate change . [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] Environmental conditions play a key role in defining the function and geographic distributions of plants .
The damage, however, is done the first year or two that the new tree is in the ground even though the bark doesn’t start cracking and falling for another year or two.
Climate change and the associated changing weather patterns occurring worldwide have a direct effect on biology, population ecology, and the population of eruptive insects, such as the mountain pine beetle. This is because temperature is a factor which determines insect development and population success. [87]
This problem looks like an awful disease, but it’s primarily caused by major fluctuations in soil moisture levels. (In sandy, acidic soils it can also be caused by a lack of calcium.)
The climate in Texas is changing partially due to global warming and rising trends in greenhouse gas emissions. [1] As of 2016, most area of Texas had already warmed by 1.5 °F (0.83 °C) since the previous century because of greenhouse gas emissions by the United States and other countries. [1]
Green, yellow and red circles show whether one, two or all three key thresholds (annual mean temperature, coldest month temperature or temperature variability) are exceeded by 2100. [ 57 ] A 2013 study estimated that 670–933 amphibian species (11–15%) are both highly vulnerable to climate change while already being on the IUCN Red List of ...
With temperatures dipping into the 40s in North Texas during Thanksgiving week, and winter a month away, ...
