Comment: Don’t judge species on their origins
|
SUMMARY: Conservationists should assess organisms on environmental impact rather than on whether they are natives, argue Mark Davis and 18 other ecologists. FRO... |

Beyond Reserves and Corridors: Policy Solutions to Facilitate the Movement of Plants and Animals in a Changing Climate
|
As the Earth’s climate changes, many species will have to move across human-dominated landscapes to track suitable climates and changing ecosystems. Given the... |

Drought, disease, defoliation and death: forest pathogens as agents of past vegetation change
|
The temperate and boreal forests of Europe and North America have been subject to repeated pathogen (fungal disease and phytophagus insect) outbreaks over the l... |

Experimental studies of dead-wood biodiversity — A review identifying global gaps in knowledge
|
The importance of dead wood for biodiversity is widely recognized but strategies for conservation exist only in some regions worldwide. Most strategies combine ... |

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... |

Migrating Like a Herd of Cats: Climate Change and Emerging Forests in British Columbia
|
We combine climate tolerances of tree species with probable changes in insect, disease, fire, and other abiotic factors to describe probable changes in distribu... |

How does climate change cause extinction?
|
Anthropogenic climate change is predicted to be a major cause of species extinctions in the next 100 years. But what will actually cause these extinctions? For ... |

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... |

Integrating multiple lines of evidence into historical biogeography hypothesis testing: a Bison bison case study
|
One of the grand goals of historical biogeography is to understand how and why species’ population sizes and distributions change over time. Multiple types of... |

Do alternative energy sources displace fossil fuels?
|
A fundamental, generally implicit, assumption of the Intergov- ernmental Panel on Climate Change reports and many energy analysts is that each unit of energy su... |

Tree mortality from drought, insects, and their interactions in a changing climate
|
Climate change is expected to drive increased tree mortality through drought, heat stress, and insect attacks, with manifold impacts on forest ecosystems. Yet, ... |

Persistent reduced ecosystem respiration after insect disturbance in high elevation forests
|
Amid a worldwide increase in tree mortality, mountain pine beetles (Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins) have led to the death of billions of trees from Mexico to A... |

Annual plants change in size over a century of observations
|
Abstract
Studies have documented changes in animal body size over the last century, but very little is known about changes in plant sizes, even though reduced ... |

The beaver meadow complex revisited – the role of beavers in post-glacial floodplain development
|
We evaluate the validity of the beaver-meadow complex hypothesis, used to explain the deposition of extensive fine sediment in broad, low-gradient valleys. Prev... |

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... |

Bias in the attribution of forest carbon sinks
|
A substantial fraction of the terrestrial carbon sink, past and present, may be incorrectly attributed to environmental change rather than changes in forest man... |
