An extremophile is an organism that lives in an extreme environment. An extreme environment is one in which most organisms would find it difficult or impossible to survive.
Organismal distribution limits and responses to climate change depend on how physiological performance varies as the environment shifts between optimal and extreme conditions.
May 8, 2017 · Here, we assess the extent to which extreme population responses are individualistic (i.e. whether there is an agreement among species about which years are ‘extreme’), and evaluate whether extreme population responses are important determinants of species' long-term population trends.

Sep 11, 2024 · Global Distribution of Hot Arid Environments. Hot desert and semi-desert areas stretch across 30% of Earth's land surface. They are home to approximately 20% of the world's population. Deserts have high levels of aridity. They are defined as: Semi-arid areas receive between 250 and 500 mm of precipitation per year.

- Time series of observed temperature anomalies for global average annual mean temperature (black), land average annual mean temperature (green), land average annual hottest daily maximum temperature (TXx, purple), and land average annual coldest daily minimum temperature (TNn, blue).
- Regional mean changes in annual hottest daily maximum temperature (TXx) for AR6 land regions and the global land area (except Antarctica), against changes in global mean surface air temperature (GSAT) as simulated by Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 (CMIP6) models under different Shared Socio-economic Pathway (SSP) forci ng scena rios, SSP1-1.9, SSP1-2.6, SSP2-4.5, SSP3-7.
- Overview of observed changes for cold, hot, and wet extremes and their potential human contribution. Shown are the direction of change and the confidence in: 1) the observed changes in cold and hot as well as wet extremes across the world; and 2) whether human-induced climate change contributed to causing these changes (attribution).
Aug 18, 2009 · In Chapter 1, I proposed a definition of extreme organisms by reference to the life boxes of organisms: the range of physical conditions under which they exist (the non-biological features of their ecological niche). I also proposed that we could recognise two groups of extreme organisms.

Feb 25, 2016 · Biogeography is a broad and holistic science that examines spatial patterns of biological diversity. Biogeography is a subfield of the discipline of geography (or biology, depending on area of specialization), the study of the spatial distribution of phenomena over the earth.
