Title Description
On the difference in the net ecosystem exchange of CO2 between deciduous and evergreen forests in the southeastern United States The southeastern United States is experiencing a rapid regional increase in the ratio of pine to deciduous forest ecosystems at the same time it is experiencing...
Refugia: identifying and understanding safe havens for biodiversity under climate change Identifying and protecting refugia is a priority for conservation under pro- jected anthropogenic climate change, because of their demonstrated ability to facil...
Influence of different tree-harvesting intensities on forest soil carbon stocks in boreal and northern temperate forest ecosystems
The State of Greenhouse Gases in the Atmosphere Based on Global Observations through 2013 The WMO Global Atmosphere Watch (GAW) coordinates observations of the most important contributors to climate change: long-lived greenhouse gases(LLGHG). In the ...
The floodplain large-wood cycle hypothesis: A mechanism for the physical and biotic structuring of temperate forested alluvial valleys in the North Pacific coastal ecoregion A ‘floodplain large-wood cycle’ is hypothesized as a mechanism for generating landforms and influencing river dynamics in ways that structure and maintain r...
The floodplain large-wood cycle hypothesis: A mechanism for the physical and biotic structuring of temperate forested alluvial valleys in the North Pacific coastal ecoregion A ‘floodplain large-wood cycle’ is hypothesized as a mechanism for generating landforms and influencing river dynamics in ways that structure and maintain r...
The subnivium: a deteriorating seasonal refugium For many terrestrial organisms in the Northern Hemisphere, winter is a period of resource scarcity and energy deficits, survivable only because a seasonal refug...
Vulnerability of terrestrial island vertebrates to projected sea-level rise Sea-level rise (SLR) from global warming may have severe consequences for biodiversity; however, a baseline, broad- scale assessment of the potential consequenc...

Global shifts towards positive species interactions with increasing environmental stress The study of positive species interactions is a rapidly evolving field in ecology. Despite decades of research, controversy has emerged as to whether positive a...
Water-controlled wealth of nations Population growth is in general constrained by food production, which in turn depends on the access to water resources. At a country level, some populations use...
On a collision course: competition and dispersal differences create no-analogue communities and cause extinctions during climate change Most climate change predictions omit species interactions and interspecific variation in dispersal. Here, we develop a model of multiple competing species along...
A dispersal-induced paradox: synchrony and stability in stochastic metapopulations Understanding how dispersal influences the dynamics of spatially distributed populations is a major priority of both basic and applied ecologists. Two well-know...
Decline of Leaf Hydraulic Conductance with Dehydration: Relationship to Leaf Size and Venation Architecture Across plant species, leaves vary enormously in their size and their venation architecture, of which one major function is to replace water lost to transpiratio...
Developing a broader scientific foundation for river restoration: Columbia River food webs Well-functioning food webs are fundamental for sustaining rivers as ecosystems and maintaining associated aquatic and terrestrial communities. The current empha...
Integrated assessment of global water scarcity over the 21st century under multiple climate change mitigation policies Water scarcity conditions over the 21st century both globally and regionally are assessed in the context of climate change and climate mitigation policies, by e...
Mountain landscapes offer few opportunities for high-elevation tree species migration Climate change is anticipated to alter plant species distributions. Regional context, notably the spatial complexity of climatic gradients, may influence specie...
Molecular study of worldwide distribution and diversity of soil animals The global distribution of soil animals and the relationship of below-ground biodiversity to above-ground biodiversity are not well understood. We examined 17,5...
Biodiversity loss and its impact on humanity The most unique feature of Earth is the existence of life, and the most extraordinary feature of life is its diversity. Approximately 9 million types of plants,...
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.
