Title Description
TRUST, CULTURE, AND COOPERATION: A Social Dilemma Analysis of Pro-Environmental Behaviors Social dilemmas require a choice between cooperation, or sacrificing for the greater good, and self-interest. One commonly studied social dilemma is environment...
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...
Increased River Alkalinization in the Eastern U.S. The interaction between human activities and watershed geology is accelerating long-term changes in the carbon cycle of rivers. We evaluated changes in bicarbon...
Robust spatially aggregated projections of climate extremes Many climatic extremes are changing1–5, and decision-makers express a strong need for reliable information on further changes over the coming decades as a bas...
Global change and conservation triage on National Wildlife Refuges National Wildlife Refuges (NWRs) in the United States play an important role in the adaptation of social-ecological systems to climate change, land-use change,...
Genetic consequences of climate change for northern plants Climate change will lead to loss of range for many species, and thus to loss of genetic diversity crucial for their long-term persistence. We analysed range-wid...
The cold-water climate shield: delineating refugia for preserving salmonid fishes through the 21st century The distribution and future fate of ectothermic organisms in a warming world will be dictated by thermal-scapes across landscapes. That is particularly true for...
Maximizing return on conservation investment in the conterminous USA Efficient conservation planning requires knowledge about conservation targets, threats to those targets, costs of conservation and the marginal return to additi...
A systems approach to evaluating the air quality co-benefits of US carbon policies Because human activities emit greenhouse gases (GHGs) and conventional air pollutants from common sources, policy designed to reduce GHGs can have co-benefits f...
Generic Indicators for Loss of Resilience Before a Tipping Point Leading to Population Collapse Theory predicts that the approach of catastrophic thresholds in natural systems (e.g., ecosystems, the climate) may result in an increasingly slow recovery fro...
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...
From Past to Future Warming Analyses of past observations help to predict the human contribution to future climate change. 21 FEBRUARY 2014 VOL 343 SCIENCE
Global and regional trends in greenhouse gas emissions from livestock Following IPCC guidelines (IPCC 2006), we estimate greenhouse gas emissions related to livestock in 237 countries and 11 livestock categories during the period ...
Changes in Climatic Water Balance Drive Downhill Shifts in Plant Species’ Optimum Elevations Uphill shifts of species’ distributions in response to historical warming are well documented, which leads to widespread expectations of continued uphill shi...
Afforestation Effects on Soil Carbon Storage in the United States: A Synthesis Afforestation (tree establishment on nonforested land) is a management option for increasing terrestrial C sequestration and mitigating rising atmo- spheric car...
Thinking Big: Linking Rivers to Landscapes Exploring relationships between landscape characteristics and rivers is an emerging field of study, bolstered by the proliferation of satellite data, advanc...
Defaunation in the Anthropocene We live amid a global wave of anthropogenically driven biodiversity loss: species and population extirpations and, critically, declines in local species abunda...
Dramatically increasing chance of extremely hot summers since the 2003 European heatwave Socio-economic stress from the unequivocal warming of the global climate system(1)could be mostly felt by societies through weather and climate extremes (2). Th...
Analysis of monotonic greening and browning trends from global NDVI time-series Remotely sensed vegetation indices are widely used to detect greening and browning trends; especially the global coverage of time-series normalized difference v...
Response of the North Atlantic storm track to climate change shaped by ocean– atmosphere coupling A poleward shift of the mid-latitude storm tracks in response to anthropogenic greenhouse-gas forcing has been diagnosed in climate model simulations1,2. Explan...
