Probabilistic cost estimates for climate change mitigation
|
For more than a decade, the target of keeping global warming below 2 6C has been a key focus of the international climate debate1. In response, the scientific c... |

Long-term aspen cover change in the western US
|
Quaking aspen (Populus tremuloides Michx.) is one of the most important tree species in the western United States due to its role in biodiversity, tourism, and ... |

On a collision course: competition and dispersal differences create no-analogue communities and cause extinctions during climate change
|
Most climate change predictions omit species interactions and interspecific variation in dispersal. Here, we develop a model of multiple competing species along... |

Emergence of a mid-season period of low floral resources in a montane meadow ecosystem associated with climate change
|
Summary. 1. Shifts in the spatial and temporal patterns of flowering could affect the resources available to pollinators, and such shifts might become more comm... |

Comment: Don’t judge species on their origins
|
SUMMARY: Conservationists should assess organisms on environmental impact rather than on whether they are natives, argue Mark Davis and 18 other ecologists. FRO... |

Rapid Range Shifts of Species Associated with High Levels of Climate Warming
|
The distributions of many terrestrial organisms are currently shifting in latitude or elevation in responseto changing climate. Using a meta-analysis, we estima... |

Australia is ‘free to choose’ economic growth and falling environmental pressures
|
Over two centuries of economic growth have put undeniable pressure on the ecological systems that underpin human well-being. While it is agreed that these press... |

Forest disturbance across the conterminous United States from 1985–2012: The emerging dominance of forest decline
|
Evidence of shifting dominance among major forest disturbance agent classes regionally to globally has been emerging in the literature. For example, climate-rel... |

Joint analysis of stressors and ecosystem services to enhance restoration effectiveness
|
With increasing pressure placed on natural systems by growing human populations, both scientists and resource managers need a better understanding of the relati... |
|
Atmospheric CO2 forces abrupt vegetation shifts locally, but not globally
|
It is possible that anthropogenic climate change will drive the Earth system into a qualitatively different state1. Although different types of uncertainty limi... |

Impacts of reforestation upon sediment load and water outflow in the Lower Yazoo River Watershed, Mississippi
|
Among the world’s largest coastal and river basins, the Lower Mississippi River Alluvial Valley (LMRAV) is one of the most disturbed by human activities. This... |

Simultaneously Mitigating Near-Term Climate Change and Improving Human Health and Food Security
|
Tropospheric ozone and black carbon (BC) contribute to both degraded air quality and global
warming. We considered ~400 emission control measures to reduce the... |
|
Interactive influences of ozone and climate on streamflow of forested watersheds
|
The capacity of forests to mitigate global climate change can be negatively influenced by tropospheric ozone that impairs both photosynthesis and stomatal contr... |

Physiological plasticity increases resilience of ectothermic animals to climate change
|
Understanding how climate change affects natural populations remains one of the greatest challenges for ecology and management of natural resources. Animals can... |

Desert grassland responses to climate and soil moisture suggest divergent vulnerabilities across the southwestern United States
|
Climate change predictions include warming and drying trends, which are expected to be particularly pronounced in the southwestern United States. In this region... |
