Abstract

This paper presents a general methodology for processing bioclimatic data in the temporal domain. Two different methods are used to assess the presence of temporal trends in the time-series of bioclimatic indices at each measurement station. A preliminary stage checks for the statistical homogeneity in the data set and for the presence of serial autocorrelation in the data, applying the proper methods to remove these effects. The methodology has been applied to a case study in Apulia, Italy, using the popular De Martonne index as a bioclimatic indicator.
