Afforestation Effects on Soil Carbon Storage in the United States: A Synthesis
Afforestation (tree establishment on nonforested land) is a management option for increasing terrestrial C sequestration and mitigating rising atmo- spheric ...
A global overview of drought and heat-induced tree mortality reveals emerging climate change risks for forests
Of particular concern are potential increases in tree mortality associated with climate- induced physiological stress and interactions with other ...
Are we in the midst of the sixth mass extinction? A view from the world of amphibians
Many scientists argue that we are either entering or in the midst of the sixth great mass extinction. Intense human pressure, both direct and indirect, is ...
Drought’s legacy: multiyear hydraulic deterioration underlies widespread aspen forest die-off and portends increased future risk
Forest mortality constitutes a major uncertainty in projections of climate impacts on terrestrial ecosystems and car- bon-cycle feedbacks. Recent ...
Evolution of Grasses and Grassland Ecosystems
The evolution and subsequent ecological expansion of grasses (Poaceae) since the Late Cretaceous have resulted in the establishment of one of Earth’s dominant ...
Climate Change, Aboveground-Belowground Interactions, and Species’ Range Shifts
Changes in climate, land use, fire incidence, and ecological connections all may contribute to current species’ range shifts. Species shift range individually, ...
20th-Century doubling in dust archived in an Antarctic Peninsula ice core parallels climate change and desertification in South America
Crustal dust in the atmosphere impacts Earth’s radiative forcing directly by modifying the radiation budget and affecting cloud nucleation and optical ...
Environment, vegetation and greenness (NDVI) along the North America and Eurasia Arctic transects
Satellite-based measurements of the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI; an index of vegetation greenness and photosynthetic capacity) indicate that ...
Disappearing Arctic sea ice reduces available water in the American west
Recent decreases in Arctic sea ice cover and the probability of continued decreases have raised the question of how reduced Arctic sea ice cover will influence ...
Assessing the Causes of Late Pleistocene Extinctions on the Continents
One of the great debates about extinction is whether humans or climatic change caused the demise of the Pleistocene megafauna. Evidence from paleontology, ...
Biophysical controls on organic carbon fluxes in fluvial networks.pdf
Metabolism of terrestrial organic carbon in freshwater ecosystems is responsible for a large amount of carbon dioxide outgassing to the atmosphere, in ...
Cross-scale Drivers of Natural Disturbances Prone to Anthropogenic Amplification: The Dynamics of Bark Beetle Eruptions
Biome-scale disturbances by eruptive herbivores provide valuable insights into species interactions, ecosystem function, and impacts of global change. We ...
Beyond Reserves and Corridors: Policy Solutions to Facilitate the Movement of Plants and Animals in a Changing Climate
As the Earth’s climate changes, many species will have to move across human-dominated landscapes to track suitable climates and changing ecosystems. Given the ...
Ecosystem Processes and Human Influences Regulate Streamflow Response to Climate Change at Long-Term Ecological Research Sites
Analyses of long-term records at 35 headwater basins in the United States and Canada indicate that climate change effects on streamflow are not as clear as ...
Carbon-nitrogen interactions regulate climate-carbon cycle feedbacks: results from an atmosphere-ocean general circulation model.pdf
Inclusion of fundamental ecological interactions between carbon and nitrogen cycles in the land component of an atmosphere-ocean general circulation model ...
Creating Wetlands: Primary Succession, Water Quality Changes, and Self-Design over 15 Years
The succession of vegetation, soil development, water quality changes, and carbon and nitrogen dynamics are summarized in this article for a pair of 1-hectare ...
Biodiversity and the Feel-Good Factor: Understanding Associations between Self-Reported Human Well-being and Species Richness
Over half of the world’s human population lives in cities, and for many, urban greenspaces are the only places where they encounter biodiversity. This is of ...
Contemporary Evolution of Reproductive Isolation and Phenotypic Divergence in Sympatry along a Migratory Divide
Understanding the influence of human-induced changes on the evolutionary trajectories of populations is a fundamental problem [1, 2]. The evolution of ...
Bird population trends are linearly affected by climate change along species thermal ranges
Beyond the effects of temperature increase on local population trends and on species distribution shifts, how populations of a given species are affected by ...
Bergmann’s rule and climate change revisited: Disentangling environmental and genetic responses in a wild bird population
Ecological responses to on-going climate change are numerous, diverse, and taxonomically widespread. However, with one exception, the relative roles of ...
Climate change and tropical biodiversity: a new focus
Considerable efforts are focused on the consequences of climate change for tropical rainforests. However, potentially the greatest threats to tropical ...
Allometry of thermal variables in mammals: consequences of body size and phylogeny
A large number of analyses have examined how basal metabolic rate (BMR) is affected by body mass in mammals. By contrast, the critical ambient temperatures ...
Correlations among species distributions, human density and human infrastructure across the high biodiversity tropical mountains of Africa
This paper explores whether spatial variation in the biodiversity values of vertebrates and plants (species richness, range-size rarity and number or ...
Buried by bad decisions
From the text: Alas, research shows that when human beings make decisions, they tend to focus on what they are getting and forget about what we are forgoing.
Biodiversity Risks from Fossil Fuel Extraction
The overlapping of biodiverse areas and fossil fuel reserves indicates high-risk regions.
C4 Photosynthesis: Differentiating Causation and Coincidence
Determination of the historical causes of organismal adaptations is difficult, but a recent study has suggested that at least one of the transitions to C4 ...
A megacity in a changing climate: the case of Kolkata
Projections by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change suggest that there will be an increase in the frequency and intensity of climate extremes in the ...
WWF: China Ecological Footprint Report 2012 Consumption, Production and Sustainable Development
From the Executive Summary p. 3 : "We have only one planet and the time has come to transform our present lifestyle and consumption patterns in order to halt ...
A statistical procedure to determine recent climate change of extreme daily meteorological data as applied at two locations in Northwestern North America
An iterative chi-square method is applied to determine recent climate change of extremes of daily minimum temperature at two locations between an 18- year ...
A century of climate and ecosystem change in Western Montana: what do temperature trends portend?
Abstract The physical science linking human-induced increases ingreenhouse gasses to the warming of the global climate system is well established, but the ...
