Title Description
Hot climates, high sensitivity Concluding paragraph: One sure solution to the problem posed by uncertainty of climate sensitivity in hot climates is simply not to go there. Unfortunately, it ...
OCEAN–ATMOSPHERE COUPLING Mesoscale eddy effects 1st paragraph: Because of its enormous heat capacity, the ocean plays a critical role in regulating the Earth’s climate. Up to about a decade ago, it was gene...
THE COST OF INACTION: RECOGNISING THE VALUE AT RISK FROM CLIMATE CHANGE The asset management industry—and thus the wider community of investors of all sizes— is facing the prospect of significant losses from the effects of clima...
Density stratification in an estuary with complex geometry: Driving processes and relationship to hypoxia on monthly to inter-annual timescales The density field in Narragansett Bay (NB), a northeast U.S. estuary with complex geometry that suffers hypoxia, is described and related to driving factors usi...
Ramification of stream networks The geometric complexity of stream networks has been a source of fascination for centuries. However, a comprehensive understanding of ramification—the mechani...
The search for unknown biodiversity 1st paragraph: in a world being rapidly transformed by human activities, an alarming possibility is that many species might disappear before we have a chance to...
Spatial relationship between climatologies and changes in global vegetation activity Vegetation forms a main component of the terrestrial biosphere and plays a crucial role in land-cover and climate- related studies. Activity of vegetation syste...
Ecosystem carbon stocks and sequestration potential of federal lands across the conterminous United States Federal lands across the conterminous United States (CONUS) account for 23.5% of the CONUS terrestrial area but have received no systematic studies on their eco...
Global separation of plant transpiration from groundwater and streamflow Current land surface models assume that groundwater, streamflow and plant transpiration are all sourced and mediated by the same well mixed water reservoir—th...
Societal challenges in understanding and responding to regime shifts in forest landscapes 2 excerpts: "The degradation of seminatural landscapes at regional scales, whereby essential functional capabilities and biotic elements are permanently lost as...
Pervasive Externalities at the Population, Consumption, and Environment Nexus Growing concerns that contemporary patterns of economic development are unsustainable have given rise to an extensive empirical literature on population growth,...
Seasonal and diel patterns in the migrations of fishes between a river and a floodplain tributary The population behaviours associated with the migrations of fishes in lowland river ecosystems are amongst the most poorly-understood dispersal mechanisms of te...
Seasonal and diel patterns in the migrations of fishes between a river and a floodplain tributary The population behaviours associated with the migrations of fishes in lowland river ecosystems are amongst the most poorly-understood dispersal mechanisms of te...
Contemporary ocean warming and freshwater conditions are related to later sea age at maturity in Atlantic salmon spawning in Norwegian rivers Atlantic salmon populations are reported to be declining throughout its range, raising major management concerns. Variation in adult fish abundance may be due t...
Rate of tree carbon accumulation increases continuously with tree size Forests are major components of the global carbon cycle, providing substantial feedback to atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations1 . Our ability to unders...
Expanding options for habitat conservation outside protected areas in Kenya: The use of environmental easements This paper examines wildlife conservation in Kenya on land outside protected areas. It presents a context within which environmental easements as a mechanism to...
Is Embracing Change Our Best Bet? Restoration ecology and conservation biology are both under pressure to adapt to accelerated anthropogenic global change. Pristine areas free from human inf...
Citizen Involvement in the U.S. Endangered Species Act Data on listed species refute critiques of citizen involvement in the U.S. Endangered Species Act.
Too much of a bad thing There are various — and confusing — targets to limit global warming due to emissions of greenhouse gases. Estimates based on the total slug of carbon emitte...
Mapping tree density at a global scale The global extent and distribution of forest trees is central to our understanding of the terrestrial biosphere. We provide the first spatially continuous map o...
