Title Description
The Greenhouse Is Making the Water-Poor Even Poorer How bad will global warming get? The question has long been cast in terms of how hot the world will get. But perhaps more important to the planet’s inhabit...
A long-term perspective on a modern drought in the American Southeast The depth of the 2006–9 drought in the humid, southeastern US left several metropolitan areas with only a 60–120 day water supply. To put the region’s re...
Drought, disease, defoliation and death: forest pathogens as agents of past vegetation change The temperate and boreal forests of Europe and North America have been subject to repeated pathogen (fungal disease and phytophagus insect) outbreaks over the l...
Reliability of Indicators of Decline in Abundance Although there are many indicators of endangerment (i.e., whether populations or species meet criteria that justify conservation action), their reliability has ...
Future collapse: how optimistic should we be? 1st paragraph: Prof. Kelly FRS is optimistic about the chances of avoiding a collapse, but sadly we find his arguments entirely unpersuasive. For example, have ...
Global Biodiversity Conservation and the Alleviation of Poverty Poverty and biodiversity loss are two of the world’s dire challenges. Claims of conservation’s contribution to poverty alleviation, however, remain controve...
Enhanced poleward moisture transport and amplified northern high-latitude wetting trend Observations and climate change projections forced by greenhouse gas emissions have indicated a wetting trend in northern high latitudes, evidenced by increasin...
Divergent phenological response to hydroclimate variability in forested mountain watersheds Mountain watersheds are primary sources of freshwater, carbon sequestration, and other ecosystem services. There is significant interest in the effects of clima...
A holistic approach to climate targets An assessment of allowable carbon emissions that factors in multiple climate targets finds smaller permissible emission budgets than those inferred from studies...
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...
Divergent phenological response to hydroclimate variability in forested mountain watersheds Mountain watersheds are primary sources of freshwater, carbon sequestration, and other ecosystem services. There is significant interest in the effects of clima...
Spatially and temporally consistent prediction of heavy precipitation from mean values Extreme precipitation can cause flooding, result in substantial damages and have detrimental effects on ecosystems1,2. Climate adaptation must therefore account...
Contemporary ocean warming and freshwater conditions are related to later sea age at maturity in Atlantic salmon spawning in Norwegian rivers Atlantic salmon populations are reported to be declining throughout its range, raising major management concerns. Variation in adult fish abundance may be due t...
Insect Responses to Major Landscape-Level Disturbance Keywords tolerance, dispersal, succession, local extinction, outbreak, population dynamics Abstract Disturbances are abrupt events that dramatically alter ha...
Climate change-associated tree mortality increases without decreasing water availability Here, we reveal temporally increasing tree mortality across all study species over the last three decades in the central boreal forests of Canada, where long-te...
Influence of different tree-harvesting intensities on forest soil carbon stocks in boreal and northern temperate forest ecosystems
Untangling human and environmental effects on geographical gradients of mammal species richness: a global and regional evaluation 1. Different hypotheses (geographical, ecological, evolutionary or a combination of them) have been suggested to account for the spatial variation in species ri...
Thermodynamics of firms’ growth The distribution of firms’ growth and firms’ sizes is a topic under intense scrutiny. In this paper, we show that a thermodynamic model based on the maximum...
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...
Wildlife decline and social conflict Policies aimed at reducing wildlife-related conflict must address the underlying causes
