Title Description
Mineral soil carbon fluxes in forests and implications for carbon balance assessments Forest carbon cycles play an important role in efforts to understand and mitigate climate change. Large amounts of carbon (C) are stored in deep mineral forest ...
Genetic signatures of a demographic collapse in a large-bodied forest dwelling primate It is difficult to predict how current climate change will affect wildlife species adapted to a tropical rainforest environment. Understanding how population dy...
What can ecological science tell us about opportunities for carbon sequestration on arid rangelands in the United States? Scientific interest in carbon sequestration on rangelands is largely driven by their extent, while the interest of ranchers in the United States centers on oppo...
Anthropogenic influence on multidecadal changes in reconstructed global evapotranspiration Global warming is expected to intensify the global hydrological cycle1, with an increase of both evapotranspiration (EVT) and precipitation. Yet, the magnitude ...
Methane emissions from sheep pasture, measured with an open-path eddy covariance system Methane (CH4) is an important greenhouse gas, contributing 0.4–0.5 W m␣2 to global warming. Methane emissions originate from several sources, including wetl...
Extent and scale of local adaptation in salmonid fishes: review and meta-analysis What is the extent and scale of local adaptation (LA)? How quickly does LA arise? And what is its underlying molecular basis? Our review and meta-analysis on sa...
An extreme climatic event alters marine ecosystem structure in a global biodiversity hotspot Extreme climatic events, such as heat waves, are predicted to increase in frequency and magnitude as a consequence of global warming but their ecological effect...
Land use efficiency: anticipating future demand for land-sector greenhouse gas emissions abatement and managing trade-offs with agriculture, water, and biodiversity Competition for land is increasing, and policy needs to ensure the efficient supply of multiple ecosystem services from land systems. We modelled the spatially ...
A SOCIAL TRAP ANALYSIS OF THE LOS ANGELES STORM DRAIN SYSTEM: A RATIONALE FOR INTERVENTIONS The principles of analyzing social traps can be used to devise intervention strategies for the problems of toxic and solid waste dumping into the Los Angeles st...
Autopsy of two mega-heatwaves Record-breaking heatwaves in 2003 and 2010 surprised both the public and experts. Observations provide new insights into how temperatures escalated to unprecede...
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 eco...
Identifying refugia from climate change This article highlights how the loose definition of the term ‘refugia’ has led to discrepancies in methods used to assess the vulnerability of species to th...
Future climate change driven sea-level rise: secondary consequences from human displacement for island biodiversity Sea-level rise (SLR) due to global warming will result in the loss of many coastal areas. The direct or primary effects due to inundation and erosion from SLR a...
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 pr...
Perception of climate change “Climate dice,” describing the chance of unusually warm or cool seasons, have become more and more “loaded” in the past 30 y, coincident with rapid glob...
REfugia in conservation.pdf
Rethinking wedges Stabilizing CO2 emissions at current levels for fifty years is not consistent with either an atmospheric CO2 concentration below 500 ppm or global temperature i...
Refugia: identifying and understanding safe havens for biodiversity under climate change Identifying and protecting refugia is a priority for conservation under pro- jected anthropogenic climate change, because of their demonstrated ability to facil...
Comment: The end of cheap coal New forecasts suggest that coal reserves will run out faster than many believe. Energy policies relying on cheap coal have no future, say Richard Heinberg and D...
Trade-in to trade-up Nature reserves and protected areas enjoy sacred status in conservation — which translates into a ‘do not touch’ attitude. But selling off some of the les...
