Linear trend in annual nighttime warmest temperature (1931-2015) defined as the annual maximum value of minimum temperature (TN)

An updated analysis of trends in South African temperatures is presented in The Third National Communication (TNC) to UNFCCC published in 2018. The analysis builds on the studies of Kruger & Sekele (2012) and Mackellar et al. (2014). A total of 27 weather stations was used for for temperature trends analysis spanning the period 1931-2015. Apart from the trends in the annual mean minimum, maximum and average temperatures, and average diurnal temperature range, the analyses...

Linear trend in annual longest cold spell (1931-2015) defined as the annual number of days with at least 6 consecutive days when minimum temperature (TN) < 10th percentile

Interpolated observed weather data for the Cape Floristic Region

Conservation of biodiversity demands comprehension of evolutionary and ecological patterns and processes that occur over vast spatial and temporal scales. A central goal of ecology is to understand the climatic factors that control ecological processes and this has become even more important in the face of climate change. Especially at global scales, there can be enormous uncertainty in underlying environmental data used to explain ecological processes, but that uncertainty is rarely quantified or incorporated into...

Linear trend in Annual maximum length of wet spell (1921-2015) as defined as the maximum number of consecutive days with precipitation ≥ 1mm

An updated analysis of trends in South African rainfall is presented in The Third National Communication (TNC) to UNFCCC published in 2018. The analysis builds on the studies of Kruger & Sekele (2012) and Mackellar et al. (2014). A total of 60 weather stations were used for the rainfall trend analysis spanning the period 1921-2015. Apart from the trends in the annual rainfall totals, long-term changes in rainfall can manifest in changes in rainfall extremes....

National Biodiversity Assessment (NBA) Ecosystem Threat Status

Ecosystem threat status is a headline indicator for the National Biodiversity Assessment 2011. The threatened terrestrial ecosystems identified in the NBA 2011 are the same as those listed as threatened ecosystems in December 2011 Ecosystem threat status tells us about the degree to which ecosystems are still intact or alternatively losing vital aspects of their structure, function and composition, on which their ability to provide ecosystem services ultimately depends. Ecosystem types are categorized as critically...
