The challenge of hot drought
|
1st paragraph: rought is heating up around the warm- ing world. Particularly hot drought has cost more than US$40 billion and claimed 218 human lives since 2010... |

Evolution of natural and social science interactions in global change research programs
|
Efforts to develop a global understanding of the functioning of the Earth as a system began in the mid-1980s. This effort necessitated linking knowledge from bo... |

Photoperiodic regulation of the seasonal pattern of photosynthetic capacity and the implications for carbon cycling
|
Although temperature is an important driver of seasonal changes in photosynthetic physiology, photoperiod also regulates leaf activity. Climate change will exte... |

Life history and spatial traits predict extinction risk due to climate change
|
There is an urgent need to develop effective vulnerability assessments for evaluating the conservation status of species in a changing climate1. Several new ass... |

Urban land teleconnections and sustainability
|
This paper introduces urban land teleconnections as a conceptual framework that explicitly links land changes to underlying urbanization dynamics. We illustrate... |

Status and Ecological Effects of the World’s Largest Carnivores
|
The largest terrestrial species in the order Carnivora are wide-ranging and rare
because of their positions at the top of food webs. They are some of the world... |

Contrasting futures for ocean and society from different anthropogenic CO2 emissions scenarios
|
The ocean moderates anthropogenic climate change at the cost of profound alterations of its physics, chemistry, ecology, and services. Here, we evaluate and com... |

Newly discovered landscape traps produce regime shifts in wet forests
|
We describe the “landscape trap” concept, whereby entire landscapes are shifted into, and then maintained (trapped) in, a highly compromised structural and ... |

How does crop residue removal affect soil organic carbon and yield? A hierarchical analysis of management and environmental factors
|
Our results suggest that crop residue removal is not recommended in tropical soils, particularly in coarse-textured ones, and in SOC-depleted soils in temperate... |

Analysing fossil-fuel displacement
|
It is commonly assumed that fossil fuels can be replaced by alternative forms of energy. Now research challenges this assumption, and highlights the role of non... |

Heat stress related dairy cow mortality during heat waves and control periods in rural Southern Ontario from 2010–2012
|
Background: Heat stress is a physiological response to extreme environmental heat such as heat waves. Heat stress can result in mortality in dairy cows when ext... |

Model projections of atmospheric steering of Sandy-like superstorms
|
Superstorm Sandy ravaged the eastern seaboard of the United States, costing a great number of lives and billions of dollars in damage. Whether events like Sandy... |

Emerging Techniques for Soil Carbon measurements
|
Soil carbon sequestration is one approach to mitigate greenhouse gases. However, to reliably
assess the quantities sequestered as well as the chemical structur... |

The temperature response of soil microbial efficiency and its feedback to climate
|
Soils are the largest repository of organic carbon (C) in the terrestrial biosphere and represent an important source of carbon dioxide (CO2)totheatmosphere,rel... |

Aeolian process effects on vegetation communities in an arid grassland ecosystem
|
Many arid grassland communities are changing from grass dominance to shrub
dominance, but the mechanisms involved in this conversion process are not completely... |

Statistically derived contributions of diverse human influences to twentieth-century temperature changes
|
The warming of the climate system is unequivocal as evidenced by an increase in global temperatures by 0.8 ◦ C over the past century. However, the attribution... |
