Spatiotemporal Exploration and Hazard Mapping of Tropical Cyclones along the Coastline of China by Shaobo Zhong, Chaolin Wang, Zhichen Yu, Yongsheng Yang, Quanyi Huang

“…Spatiotemporal patterns are one of the greatest interests and provide valuable insights into chronological events occurring in space. A tropical cyclone (TC) track is defined as a sequence of successive points, and several different types of analyses are performed to explore the temporal and spatial patterns of the TCs in the Northwest Pacific and along the coastline of China during 1949–2014. …”

Environmental influences on chorusing patterns in an Australian tropical savanna frog community by Sheryn Brodie, Slade Allen‐Ankins, Lin Schwarzkopf

“…We used long‐duration false‐color spectrograms derived from acoustic indices to detect the nightly chorusing of a community of anurans in a tropical savanna in north Queensland. We described the chorusing patterns of each species over two wet seasons at three breeding sites, and used conditional random forest analysis to investigate the influence of various environmental factors. …”

Effectiveness of Extractants for Bioavailable Phosphorus in Tropical Soils Amended with Sewage Sludge by Roberta Corrêa Nogueirol, Wanderley José de Melo, Edna Ivani Bertoncini, Luís Reynaldo Ferracciú Alleoni

“…Urban wastes such as sewage sludge can be an economically viable alternative source for providing macro- and micronutrients to plants in tropical conditions. Sewage sludge is normally rich in phosphorus (P), which is present in soils mainly in organic forms, so that it is very important to establish methods for estimating its availability to plants. …”
