Plant Species Richness and Ecosystem Multifunctionality in Global Drylands
|
Experiments suggest that biodiversity enhances the ability of ecosystems to maintain multiple
functions, such as carbon storage, productivity, and the buildup ... |

Fluvial landscapes of the Harappan civilization
|
The collapse of the Bronze Age Harappan, one of the earliest urban civilizations, remains an enigma. Urbanism flourished in the western region of the Indo-Gange... |

Effects of grazing on grassland soil carbon: a global review
|
Soils of grasslands represent a large potential reservoir for storing CO2, but this potential likely depends on how grasslands are managed for large mammal graz... |

Global declines in oceanic nitrification rates as a consequence of ocean acidification
|
Ocean acidification produced by dissolution of anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in seawater has profound conse- quences for marine ecology and bioge... |

Unburnable Carbon – Are the world’s financial markets carrying a carbon bubble?
|
The Carbon Tracker initiative is a new way of looking at the carbon emissions
problem. It is focused on the fossil fuel reserves held by publically listed
com... |

Dramatically increasing chance of extremely hot summers since the 2003 European heatwave
|
Socio-economic stress from the unequivocal warming of the global climate system(1)could be mostly felt by societies through weather and climate extremes (2). Th... |

Assemblage Time Series Reveal Biodiversity Change but Not Systematic Loss
|
The extent to which biodiversity change in local assemblages contributes to global biodiversity
loss is poorly understood. We analyzed 100 time series from bio... |

Stop misuse of biodiversity offsets
|
Governments should not meet existing conservation targets using the compensation that developers pay for damaging biodiversity, say Martine Maron and colleagues... |

Increase in forest water-use efficiency as atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations rise
|
Terrestrial plants remove CO2 from the atmosphere through photo- synthesis, a process that is accompanied by the loss of water vapour from leaves1. The ratio of... |

Biodiversity gains from efficient use of private sponsorship for flagship species conservation
|
To address the global extinction crisis, both efficient use of existing conservation funding and new sources of funding are vital. Private sponsorship of charis... |

1.5°C or 2°C: a conduit’s view from the science-policy interface at COP20 in Lima, Peru
|
An average global 2°C warming compared to pre-industrial times is commonly understood as the most important target in climate policy negotiations. It is a temp... |

A drought-induced pervasive increase in tree mortality across Canada’s boreal forests
|
Drought-induced tree mortality is expected to increase worldwide under projected future climate changes (1–4). The Canadian boreal forests, which occupy about... |

Saturation-state sensitivity of marine bivalve larvae to ocean acidification
|
Ocean acidification results in co-varying inorganic carbon system variables. Of these, an explicit focus on pH and organismal acid–base regulation has failed ... |

Estimating the global conservation status of more than 15,000 Amazonian tree species
|
Estimates of extinction risk for Amazonian plant and animal species are rare and not often incorporated into land-use policy and conservation planning. We overl... |
