Title Description
Conservation VALUE OF ROADLESS AREAS FOR VULNERABLE FISH AND Wildlife Species in the Crown of the Continent Ecosystem, Montana The Crown of the Continent Ecosystem is one of the most spectacular landscapes in the world and most ecologically intact ecosystem remaining in the contiguous...
Systemic trade risk of critical resources Complex Systems: In the wake of the 2008 financial crisis, the role of strongly interconnected markets in causing systemic instability has been increasingly ack...
Regional growth decline of sugar maple (Acer saccharum) and its potential causes Sugar maple (Acer saccharum Marsh) has experienced poor vigor, regeneration failure, and elevated mortality across much of its range, but there has been relativ...
Global non-linear effect of temperature on economic production Growing evidence demonstrates that climatic conditions can have a profound impact on the functioning of modern human societies (1,2), but effects on economic ac...
Managing Wildfire Risk in Fire-Prone Landscapes: How Are Private Landowners Contributing? The fire-prone landscapes include both public and private lands. Wildfire burns indiscriminately across property boundaries, which means that the way potential ...
Protected Areas as Frontiers for Human Migration Causes of human population growth near protected areas have been much debated. We conducted 821 interviews in 16 villages around Budongo Forest Reserve, Masind...
Managing Wildfire Risk in Fire-Prone Landscapes: How Are Private Landowners Contributing? The fire-prone landscapes of the West include both public and private lands. Wildfire burns indiscriminately across property boundaries, which means that the...
Mount St. Helens: Still Erupting Lessons 31 Years Later The massive volcanic eruption of Mount St. Helens 31 years ago provided the perfect backdrop for studying the earliest stages of forest development. Immedia...
Impacts of climate change on August stream discharge in the Central-Rocky Mountains In the snowmelt dominated hydrology of arid western US landscapes, late summer low streamflow is the most vulnerable period for aquatic ecosystem habitats and t...
Investment, transformation and leadership CDP S&P 500 Climate Change Report 2013 On behalf of 722 investors representing US$87 trillion in assets Sample text : Fears are increasing over future climate change impacts as we see more extreme weather events, Hurricane Sandy the most noted with damages totall...
Projections of declining surface-water availability for the southwestern United States Global warming driven by rising greenhouse-gas concentrations is expected to cause wet regions of the tropics and mid to high latitudes to get wetter and subtro...
Inhomogeneous forcing and transient climate sensitivity Understanding climate sensitivity is critical to projecting climate change in response to a given forcing scenario. Recent analyses1–3 have suggested that tra...
Energy consumption and the unexplained winter warming over northern Asia and North America The worldwide energy consumption in 2006 was close to 498 exajoules. This is equivalent to an energy convergence of 15.8 TW into the populated regions, where en...
Quantitative global analysis of the role of climate and people in explaining late Quaternary megafaunal extinctions The late Quaternary period saw the rapid extinction of the majority of the world’s terrestrial megafauna. The cause of these dramatic losses, especially the r...
Divergent global precipitation changes induced by natural versus anthropogenic forcing As a result of global warming, precipitation is likely to increase in high latitudes and the tropics and to decrease in already dry sub-tropical regions (1). Th...
Worldwide evidence of a unimodal relationship between productivity and plant species richness The search for predictions of species diversity across environmental gradients has challenged ecologists for decades. The humped-back model (HBM) suggests that ...
The influence of contextual cues on the perceived status of consumption-reducing behavior The question of whether and when behaviors that reduce overall consumption are associated with low status has not been adequately explored. Previous research su...
Drought Sensitivity of the Amazon Rainforest Amazon forests are a key but poorly understood component of the global carbon cycle. If, as anticipated, they dry this century, they might accelerate climate c...
Physiological plasticity increases resilience of ectothermic animals to climate change Understanding how climate change affects natural populations remains one of the greatest challenges for ecology and management of natural resources. Animals can...
Are There Rebound Effects from Energy Efficiency? – An Analysis of Empirical Data, Internal Consistency, and Solutions Of the rigorously-framed hypotheses claiming that large negative rebounds exist, we measure them against the data, which refute the hypotheses. Rebounds at the ...
