Assessing the Climate and Habitability of Tidally Locked Rocky Exoplanets
Erica Bisesi, Giuseppe Murante, Jost von Hardenberg +5
Tidally locked exoplanets orbiting M dwarf stars are prime targets in the search for habitable worlds, yet their complex climate dynamics challenge conventional models of habitabil…
Interaction between vegetation and Snowball phases in the late Proterozoic Earth
Erica Bisesi, Giuseppe Murante, Antonello Provenzale +3
Between 2.4 and 0.6 Gy ago, our planet underwent several episodes of global glaciations, including the Snowball Earth case that ended 635 My ago. Causes of this last Snowball event…
Impact of vegetation albedo on the habitability of Earth-like exoplanets
Erica Bisesi, Giuseppe Murante, Antonello Provenzale +8
Vegetation can modify the planetary surface albedo via the Charney mechanism, as plants are usually darker than the bare surface of the continents. We updated ESTM (Earth-like Surf…
Fire responses shape plant communities in a minimal model for fire ecosystems across the world
Marta Magnani, Rubén Díaz-Sierra, Luke Sweeney +2
Across plant communities worldwide, fire regimes reflect a combination of climatic factors and plant characteristics. To shed new light on the complex relationships between plant c…
Extracting causation from millennial-scale climate fluctuations in the last 800 kyr
Marco Baldovin, Fabio Cecconi, Antonello Provenzale +1
The detection of cause-effect relationships from the analysis of paleoclimatic records is a crucial step to disentangle the main mechanisms at work in the climate system. Here, we…
EOS-ESTM: A flexible climate model for habitable exoplanets
L. Biasiotti, P. Simonetti, G. Vladilo +8
Rocky planets with temperate conditions provide the best chance for discovering habitable worlds and life outside the Solar System. In the last decades, new instrumental facilities…
