Title Description
The Next Dust Bowl Drought is the most pressing problem caused by climate change. It receives too little attention, says Joseph Romm.
Plant species richness: the world records Questions: The co-existence of high numbers of species has always fascinated ecologists, but what and where are the communities with the world records for plant...
Palaeodata-informed modelling of large carbon losses from recent burning of boreal forests Wildfires play a key role in the boreal forest carbon cycle(1,2), and models suggest that accelerated burning will increase boreal C emissions in the coming cen...
Looking at the Big Picture: The Importance of Landbase Interactions Among Forests, Agriculture, and Climate Mitigation Policies Land use change is a key part of global change. Deforestation, urban sprawl, agriculture, and other human influences have substantially altered natural ecosy...
Habitat fragmentation and its lasting impact on Earth’s ecosystems We conducted an analysis of global forest cover to reveal that 70% of remaining forest is within 1 km of the forest’s edge, subject to the degrading effects o...
Life history predicts risk of species decline in a stochastic world Understanding what traits determine the extinction risk of species has been a long-standing challenge. Natural populations increasingly experience reductions in...
Developing a broader scientific foundation for river restoration: Columbia River food webs Well-functioning food webs are fundamental for sustaining rivers as ecosystems and maintaining associated aquatic and terrestrial communities. The current empha...

Brownness of organics in aerosols from biomass burning linked to their black carbon content Atmospheric particulate matter plays an important role in the Earth’s radiative balance. Over the past two decades, it has been established that a portion of ...
A westward extension of the warm pool leads to a westward extension of the Walker circulation, drying eastern Africa Observations and simulations link anthropogenicgreenhouse and aerosol emissions with rapidly increasing Indian Ocean sea surface temperatures (SSTs). Over the ...
Integrated assessment of global water scarcity over the 21st century under multiple climate change mitigation policies Water scarcity conditions over the 21st century both globally and regionally are assessed in the context of climate change and climate mitigation policies, by e...
rainfall preceded by air passage over forests Vegetation affects precipitation patterns by mediating moisture, energy and trace-gas fluxes between the surface and atmosphere1. When forests are replaced by p...
Responses of soil and water chemistry to mountain pine beetle induced tree mortality in Grand County, Colorado, USA Pine forest in northern Colorado and southern Wyoming, USA, are experiencing the most severe moun- tain pine beetle epidemic in recorded history, and possible d...
Climate change, income and happiness: An empirical study for Barcelona The present article builds upon the results of an empirical study exploring key factors which determine life satisfaction in Barcelona. Based on a sample of 840...
Duality in climate science Delivery of palatable 2 °C mitigation scenarios depends on speculative negative emissions or changing the past. Scientists must make their assumptions transpar...
Recovery of large carnivores in Europe’s modern human-dominated landscapes The conservation of large carnivores is a formidable challenge for biodiversity conservation. Using a data set on the past and current status of brown bears (Ur...
Soil warming, carbon–nitrogen interactions, and forest carbon budgets Soil warming has the potential to alter both soil and plant processes that affect carbon storage in forest ecosystems. We have quantified these effects in a lar...
A phantom road experiment reveals traffic noise is an invisible source of habitat degradation Decades of research demonstrate that roads impact wildlife and suggest traffic noise as a primary cause of population declines near roads. We created a “phant...
Carbon Dynamics of the Forest Sector Main points: The basic ecosystem science behind carbon dynamics in forests is relatively straightforward (really!).This science doesn’t seem to be applied ver...
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 f...
