Title Description
When the river runs dry: human and ecological values of dry riverbeds Temporary rivers and streams that naturally cease to flow and dry up can be found on every continent. Many other water courses that were once perennial now als...
Downstream Warming and Headwater Acidity May Diminish Coldwater Habitat in Southern Appalachian Mountain Streams Stream-dwelling species in the U.S. southern Appalachian Mountains region are particularly vulnerable to climate change and acidification. The objectives of thi...
Time to Adapt to a Warming World, But Where’s the Science? With dangerous global warming seemingly inevitable, users of climate information— from water utilities to international aid workers—are turning to climate ...
Biotic Drivers of Stream Planform: Implications for Understanding the Past and Restoring the Future Traditionally, stream channel planform has been viewed as a function of larger watershed and valley-scale physical variables, including valley slope, the amount...
Energy intensities, EROIs (energy returned on invested), and energy payback times of electricity generating power plants The energy returned on investment, EROI, has been evaluated for typical power plants representing wind energy, photovoltaics, solar thermal, hydro, natural gas,...
Three perspectives on U.S. fire policy Following a 2015 paper on US wildfire policy and practices, published by Science, Science published two letters challenging the paper, and authors of the paper ...
The Historical Dynamics of Social–Ecological Traps Environmental degradation is a typical unintended outcome of collective human behavior. Hardin’s metaphor of the ‘‘tragedy of the commons’’ has become...
Adaptation: Planning for Climate Change and Its Effects on Federal Lands National forest managers are charged with tackling the effects of climate change on the natural resources under their care. The Forest Service National Roadmap...
The Historical Dynamics of Socio-ecological Traps Environmental degradation is a typical unintended outcome of collective human behavior. Hardin’s metaphor of the ‘‘tragedy of the commons’’ has beco...
Toward a Global Biodiversity Observing System Tracking biodiversity change is increasingly important in sustaining ecosystems and ultimately human well-being.
Humans and Nature Duel Over the Next Decade’s Climate Rising greenhouse gases are changing global climate, but during the next few decades natural climate variations will have a say as well, so researchers are scra...
Physical Laws Shape Biology IN THE PERSPECTIVE “A DYNAMICAL-SYSTEMS VIEW OF STEM CELL biology” (12 October 2012, p. 215), C. Furusawa and K. Kaneko discuss the relevance of dynamic s...
ncomms7682 1.pdf
Impacts of climate change on August stream discharge in the Central-Rocky Mountains In the snowmelt dominated hydrology of arid western US landscapes, late summer low streamflow is the most vulnerable period for aquatic ecosystem habitats and t...
Responses of wind erosion to climate-induced vegetation changes on the Colorado Plateau Projected increases in aridity throughout the southwestern United States due to anthropogenic climate change will likely cause reduc- tions in perennial vegetat...
Ecologists Report Huge Storm Losses in China’s Forests From delicate orchids and magnolias to rare Chinese yews and Kwangtung pines, the flora of Guangdong Nanling National Nature Reserve is considered so precious ...
Tangled Trends for Temperate Rain Forests as Temperatures Tick Up Climate change is altering growing conditions in the temperate rain forest region that extends from northern California to the Gulf of Alaska. Longer, warme...

Human domination of the biosphere: Rapid discharge of the earth-space battery foretells the future of humankind Earth is a chemical battery where, over evolutionary time with a trickle-charge of photosynthesis using solar energy, billions of tons of living biomass were st...
Critical slowing down as early warning for the onset of collapse in mutualistic communities Tipping points are crossed when small changes in external conditions cause abrupt unexpected responses in the current state of a system. In the case of ecologic...
