Differences and sensitivities in potential hydrologic impact of climate change to regional-scale Athabasca and Fraser River basins of the leeward and windward sides of the Canadian Rocky Mountains respectively
Sensitivities to the potential impact of Climate Change on the water resources of the Athabasca River Basin (ARB) and Fraser River Basin (FRB) were ...
Climate change effects on stream and river temperatures across the northwest U.S. from 1980–2009 and implications for salmonid fishes
Thermal regimes in rivers and streams are fundamentally important to aquatic ecosystems and are expected to change in response to climate forcing as the ...
Editorial: The “New Conservation”
EDITORIAL: OPENING PARAGRAPHS A powerful but chimeric movement is rapidly gaining recognition and supporters. Christened the “new conservation,” it promotes ...
Faustian bargains? Restoration realities in the context of biodiversity offset policies
The science and practice of ecological restoration are increasingly being called upon to compensate for the loss of biodiversity values caused by development ...
Could climate change capitalism?
Economist Nicholas Stern’s latest book is a rare and masterly synthesis of climate-change science and economics. His ‘global deal’ could change capitalism for ...
A Changing Climate for Prediction
Standard climate model projections, which have shown the significance of global warming, must be redesigned to inform climate change adaptation and mitigation ...
Drought in the United States: Causes and Issues for Congress
Drought is a natural hazard with often significant societal, economic, and environmental consequences. Public policy issues related to drought range from how ...
Climatic variability and episodic Pinus ponderosa establishment along the forest-grassland ecotones of Colorado
The primary objective of this study was the detection of possible climatic influences on the recent (i.e., past c. 40 years) establishment of ponderosa pine ...
DOES WOOD SLOW DOWN “SLUDGE DRAGONS?” THE INTERACTION BETWEEN RIPARIAN ZONES AND DEBRIS FLOWS IN MOUNTAIN LANDSCAPES
Conservation measures for aquatic species throughout the Pacific Northwest rely heavily on maintaining forested riparian zones. A key rationale for this ...
Exponential Decline of Deep-Sea Ecosystem Functioning Linked to Benthic Biodiversity Loss
Here, we present a global-scale study based on 116 deep-sea sites that relates benthic biodiversity to several independent indicators of ecosystem functioning ...
Climate change hotspots in the United States
We use a multi-model, multi-scenario climate model ensemble to identify climate change hotspots in the continental United States. Our ensemble consists of the ...
Experimental climate change weakens the insurance effect of biodiversity
Ecosystems are simultaneously affected by biodiversity loss and climate change, but we know little about how these factors interact. We predicted that climate ...
Conifer regeneration following stand-replacing wildfire varies along an elevation gradient in a ponderosa pine forest, Oregon, USA
Climate change is expected to increase disturbances such as stand-replacing wildfire in many ecosystems, which have the potential to drive rapid turnover in ...
Evolution of climate niches in European mammals?
Our ability to predict consequences of climate change is severely impaired by the lack of knowledge on the ability of species to adapt to changing ...
Extreme Weather Events in Europe: preparing for climate change adaptation
This study arises from the concern that changes in weather patterns will be one of the principal effects of climate change and with these will come extreme ...
A dispersal-induced paradox: synchrony and stability in stochastic metapopulations
Understanding how dispersal influences the dynamics of spatially distributed populations is a major priority of both basic and applied ecologists. Two ...
Changes in forest productivity across Alaska consistent with biome shift
Global vegetation models predict that boreal forests are particularly sensitive to a biome shift during the 21st century. This shift would manifest itself ...
Economic growth as the limiting factor for wildlife conservation
The concept of limiting factor includes the lack of welfare factors and the presence of decimating factors. Originally applied to populations and species, the ...
Effects of tree mortality caused by a bark beetle outbreak on the ant community in the San Bernardino National Forest
Ants are used as bioindicators of the effects of disturbance on ecosystems for several reasons. First, ants are generally responsive to alteration of the ...
Energetic and biomechanical constraints on animal migration distance
Animal migration is one of the great wonders of nature, but the factors that determine how far migrants travel remain poorly understood. We present a new ...
Biodiversity effects on ecosystem functioning change along environmental stress gradients
Positive relationship between biodiversity and ecosystem functioning has been observed in many studies, but how this relationship is affected by environmental ...
Alleles underlying larval foraging behaviour influence adult dispersal in nature
The dispersal and migration of organisms have resulted in the colonisation of nearly every possible habitat and ultimately the extraordinary diversity of life. ...
Citizen Involvement in the U.S. Endangered Species Act
Data on listed species refute critiques of citizen involvement in the U.S. Endangered Species Act.
Elevated Eocene Atmospheric CO2 and Its Subsequent Decline
Closing paragraph: Estimates of early Eocene atmospheric CO2 from Green River sodium carbonates are in the same range as those predicted by geochemical models ...
EPA and the Army Corps’ Proposed Rule to Define “Waters of the United States”
Excerpt from summary : According to the agencies, the proposed rule would revise the existing regulatory definition of “waters of the United States” consistent ...
Bias in the attribution of forest carbon sinks
A substantial fraction of the terrestrial carbon sink, past and present, may be incorrectly attributed to environmental change rather than changes in forest ...
Energy intensities, EROIs (energy returned on invested), and energy payback times of electricity generating power plants
The energy returned on investment, EROI, has been evaluated for typical power plants representing wind energy, photovoltaics, solar thermal, hydro, natural ...
Feedbacks of Terrestrial Ecosystems to Climate Change
Most modeling studies on terrestrial feedbacks to warming over the twenty-first century imply that the net feedbacks are negative—that changes in ecosystems, ...
Cumulative Effects of Fire and Fuels Management on Stream Water Quality and Ecosystem Dynamics
Prescribed fires and wildland fire-use are increasingly important management tools used to reduce fuel loads and restore the ecological integrity of western ...
Climate change and disruptions to global fire activity
Future disruptions to fire activity will threaten ecosystems and human well-being throughout the world, yet there are few fire projections at global scales and ...
