Title Description
Predictive traits to the rescue Climate change poses new challenges to the conservation of species, which at present requires data-hungry models to meaningfully anticipate future threats. Now ...
How wide is a stream? Spatial extent of the potential ‘‘stream signature’’ in terrestrial food webs using meta-analysis The magnitude of cross-ecosystem resource subsidies is increasingly well recognized; however, less is known about the distance these subsidies travel into the r...
Enhanced Seasonal Exchange of CO2 by Northern Ecosystems Since 1960 Seasonal variations of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) in the Northern Hemisphere have increased since the 1950s, but sparse observations have prevented a clea...

Carbon Sequestration in Two Created Riverine Wetlands in the Midwestern United States Wetlands have the ability to accumulate significant amounts of carbon (C) and thus could provide an effective approach to mitigate greenhouse gas accumulation i...
Transforming Consumption: From Decoupling, to Behavior Change, to System Changes for Sustainable Consumption Consumption, although often considered an individual choice, is deeply ingrained in behaviors, cultures, and institutions, and is driven and supported by corpor...
Status and Ecological Effects of the World’s Largest Carnivores The largest terrestrial species in the order Carnivora are wide-ranging and rare because of their positions at the top of food webs. They are some of the world...
Modeling Effects of Environmental Change on Wolf Population Dynamics, Trait Evolution, and Life History Environmental change has been observed to generate simultaneous responses in population dynamics, life history, gene frequencies, and morphology in a number of...
On the Hydrologic Adjustment of Climate-Model Projections: The Potential Pitfall of Potential Evapotranspiration Hydrologic models often are applied to adjust projections of hydroclimatic change that come from climate models. Such adjustment includes climate-bias correctio...
Impacts of the EU biofuel policy on agricultural markets and land use The European Union's Renewable Energy Directive (RED)1 sets an overall target of 20% of the EU's energy used to come from renewable sources by 2020. As part of ...
Megaproject reclamation and climate change Megaprojects such as oil sands mining require large-scale and long-term closure and reclamation plans. Yet these plans are created and approved without consider...
Lessons about parks and poverty from a decade of forest loss and economic growth around Kibale National Park, Uganda We use field data linked to satellite image analysis to examine the relationship between biodiversity loss, deforestation, and poverty around Kibale National Pa...

Warming experiments underpredict plant phenological responses to climate change Warming experiments are increasingly relied on to estimate plant responses to global climate change1,2. For experiments to provide meaningful predictions of fut...
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 biomas...
Financial Costs of Meeting Global Biodiversity Conservation Targets: Current Spending and Unmet Needs World governments have committed to halting human-induced extinctions and safeguarding important sites for biodiversity by 2020, but the financial costs of mee...
Trend changes in global greening and browning: contribution of short-term trends to longer-term change Field observations and time series of vegetation greenness data from satellites provide evidence of changes in terres- trial vegetation activity over the past d...
Global Biodiversity Conservation and the Alleviation of Poverty Poverty and biodiversity loss are two of the world’s dire challenges. Claims of conservation’s contribution to poverty alleviation, however, remain controve...
Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Incentives: A Summary of Federal Programs Summary Energy is crucial to the operation of a modern industrial and services economy. Recently, there have been growing concerns about the availability and c...
How complex do models need to be to predict dispersal of threatened species through matrix habitats? Persistence of species in fragmented landscapes depends on dispersal among suitable breeding sites, and dispersal is often influenced by the ‘‘matrix’’ ...
