Title Description
Managing Forests and Fire in Changing Climates With projected climate change, we expect to face much more forest fi re in the coming decades. Policymakers are challenged not to categorize all fires as de...
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...
Warming experiments underpredict plant phenological responses to climate change Warming experiments are increasingly relied on to estimate plant responses to global climate change1,2. For experiments to provide meaningful predictions of fut...
A paradigm shift in understanding and quantifying the effects of forest harvesting on floods in snow environments A well-established precept in forest hydrology is that any reduction of forest cover will always have a progressively smaller effect on floods with increasing r...

A Measurable Planetary Boundary for the Biosphere Terrestrial net primary (plant) production provides a measurable boundary for human consumption of Earth’s biological resources.
Rebuilding Soils on Mined Land for Native Forests in Appalachia The eastern U.S. Appalachian region supports the world’s most extensive temperate forests, but surface mining for coal has caused forest loss. New reclamati...
Stop misuse of biodiversity offsets Governments should not meet existing conservation targets using the compensation that developers pay for damaging biodiversity, say Martine Maron and colleagues...
Three decades of multi-dimensional change in global leaf phenology We show that the phenology of vegetation activity changed severely (by more than 2 standard deviations in one or more dimensions of phe- nological change) on 54...
Changes in winter precipitation extremes for the western United States under a warmer climate as simulated by regional climate models We find a consistent and statistically significant increase in the intensity of future extreme winter precipitation events over the western United States, as si...
Local climatic drivers of changes in phenology at a boreal-temperate ecotone in eastern North America Ecosystems in biogeographical transition zones, or ecotones, tend to be highly sensitive to climate and can provide early indications of future change. To evalu...
Challenges in the conservation, rehabilitation and recovery of native stream salmonid populations: beyond the 2010 Luarca symposium – In May 2010, I chaired a session on challenges to salmonid conservation at the international symposium ‘Advances in the population ecology of stream salm...
Negative density-dependent dispersal in the American black bear (Ursus americanus) revealed by noninvasive sampling and genotyping Although the dispersal of animals is influenced by a variety of factors, few studies have used a condition-dependent approach to assess it. The mechanisms under...
Life history predicts risk of species decline in a stochastic world Understanding what traits determine the extinction risk of species has been a long-standing challenge. Natural populations increasingly experience reductions in...
Approaching the Limits: A book review in Science Excerpts: "In Harvesting the Biosphere, Vaclav Smil traces the historical development of human consumption of biological resources and evaluates whether we coul...
Biodiversity and the Feel-Good Factor: Understanding Associations between Self-Reported Human Well-being and Species Richness Over half of the world’s human population lives in cities, and for many, urban greenspaces are the only places where they encounter biodiversity. This is of p...
BOTANY AND A CHANGING WORLD: INTRODUCTION TO THE SPECIAL ISSUE ON GLOBAL BIOLOGICAL CHANGE The impacts of global change have heightened the need to understand how organisms respond to and influence these changes. Can we forecast how change at the glob...
Carbon Market Lessons and Global Policy Outlook Summary: Ongoing work on linking markets and mixing policies builds on successes and failures in pricing and trading carbon. Closing sentence, 1st paragraph: Ar...
Spatial patterns and policy implications for residential water use The front yard makes a powerful visual statement about the occupants of the residence. As visible statements, yards are likely to induce a behavioral response...
Using and improving the social cost of carbon: Regular, institutionalized updating and review are essential The social cost of carbon (SCC) is a crucial tool for economic analysis of climate policies. The SCC estimates the dollar value of reduced climate change damage...
