Title Description
Spatial patterns and policy implications for residential water use The front yard makes a powerful visual statement about the occupants of the residence. As visible statements, yards are likely to induce a behavioral response...
Observed increase in local cooling effect of deforestation at higher latitudes Deforestation in mid- to high latitudes is hypothesized to have the potential to cool the Earth’s surface by altering biophysical processes1–3. In climate m...
Herb layer extinction debt in highly fragmented temperate forests – Completely paid after 160 years? The time-delayed extinction of plant species following habitat fragmentation is a well-known phenomenon in ecology. The length of the relaxation time until this...

Global Resilience of Tropical Forest and Savanna to Critical Transitions It has been suggested that tropical forest and savanna could represent alternative stable states, implying critical transitions at tipping points in response t...
The influence of conversion of forest types on carbon sequestration and other ecosystem services in the South Central United States This paper develops a forestland management model for the three states in the South Central United States (Arkansas, Louisiana, and Mississippi). Forest type a...
Marine Taxa Track Local Climate Velocities Organisms are expected to adapt or move in response to climate change, but observed distribution shifts span a wide range of directions and rates. Explanations...
Shifts in Arctic vegetation and associated feedbacks under climate change Climate warming has led to changes in the composition, density and distribution of Arctic vegetation in recent decades1–4. These changes cause multiple opposi...
Green-up dates in the Tibetan Plateau have continuously advanced from 1982 to 2011 As the Earth’s third pole, the Tibetan Plateau has experienced a pronounced warming in the past decades. Recent studies reported that the start of the vegetat...
Delayed detection of climate mitigation benefits due to climate inertia and variability Climate change mitigation acts by reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and thus curbing, or even reversing, the increase in their atmospheric concentration. This ...
Science-LOCAL.pdf
Untangling human and environmental effects on geographical gradients of mammal species richness: a global and regional evaluation 1. Different hypotheses (geographical, ecological, evolutionary or a combination of them) have been suggested to account for the spatial variation in species ri...
Natural and anthropogenic variations in methane sources during the past two millennia Methane is an important greenhouse gas that is emitted from multiple natural and anthropogenic sources. Atmospheric methane concentrations have varied on a numb...
Integration and scaling of UV-B radiation effects on plants: from DNA to leaf A process-based model integrating the effects of UV-B radiation through epidermis, cellular DNA, and its consequences to the leaf expansion was developed from k...
PLoSONE-Farming.pdf
Insect herbivory alters impact of atmospheric change on northern temperate forests Stimulation of forest productivity by elevated concentrations of CO2 is expected to partially offset continued increases in anthropogenic CO2 emissions. However...
Biotic Multipliers of Climate Change A focus on species interactions may improve predictions of the effects of climate change on ecosystems.
Soil food web properties explain ecosystem services across European land use systems Intensive land use reduces the diversity and abundance of many soil biota, with consequences for the processes that they govern and the ecosystem services that ...
Formation of soil organic matter via biochemical and physical pathways of litter mass loss Soil organic matter is the largest terrestrial carbon pool1. The pool size depends on the balance between formation of soil organic matter from decomposition of...
Diffusion into new markets: evolving customer segments in the solar photovoltaics market The US residential solar market is growing quickly, and as solar adoption diffuses into new populations, later adopters may differ significantly from earlier on...
