Untangling the confusion around land carbon science and climate change mitigation policy
|
Depletion of ecosystem carbon stocks is a significant source of atmospheric CO2 and reducing land-based emissions and maintaining land carbon stocks contributes... |

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... |

Recovery of large carnivores in Europe’s modern human-dominated landscapes
|
The conservation of large carnivores is a formidable challenge for biodiversity conservation. Using a data set on the past and current status of brown bears (Ur... |

Microclimate moderates plant responses to macroclimate warming
|
Recent global warming is acting across marine, freshwater, and terrestrial ecosystems to favor species adapted to warmer conditions and/or reduce the abundance ... |
|
Management practices increase the impact of roads on plant communities in forests
|
The question of the interaction between management practices and road effects on forest biodiversity is of critical interest for sustainable practices and the c... |

The Historical Dynamics of Social–Ecological Traps
|
Environmental degradation is a typical unintended outcome of collective human behavior. Hardin’s metaphor of the ‘‘tragedy of the commons’’ has become... |

Eocene atmospheric CO2 from the nahcolite proxy
|
Paleotemperature estimates from leaf fossils and fluid inclusions in halite suggest an upper limit for [CO2]atm in the EECO from the nahcolite proxy of ~1260 pp... |

Delayed phenology and reduced fitness associated with climate change in a wild hibernator
|
The most commonly reported ecological effects of climate change are shifts in phenologies, in particular of warmer spring temperatures leading to earlier timing... |

Impacts of climate change on the future of biodiversity
|
Many studies in recent years have investigated the effects of climate change on the future of biodiversity. In this review, we first examine the different possi... |

Seasonal weather patterns drive population vital rates and persistence in a stream fish
|
Here, we investigated effects of seasonal air temperature and precipitation (fall, winter, and spring) on survival and recruitment of brook trout (Salvelinus fo... |

Marine Taxa Track Local Climate Velocities
|
Organisms are expected to adapt or move in response to climate change, but observed
distribution shifts span a wide range of directions and rates. Explanations... |
|
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... |

Shifts in Arctic vegetation and associated feedbacks under climate change
|
Climate warming has led to changes in the composition, density and distribution of Arctic vegetation in recent decades1–4. These changes cause multiple opposi... |
|
Physically based assessment of hurricane surge threat under climate change
|
Storm surges are responsible for much of the damage and loss of life associated with landfalling hurricanes. Understanding how global warming will affect hurric... |

Genetic signatures of a demographic collapse in a large-bodied forest dwelling primate
|
It is difficult to predict how current climate change will affect wildlife species adapted to a tropical rainforest environment. Understanding how population dy... |

Predicting a change in the order of spring phenology in temperate forests
|
The rise in spring temperatures over the past half-century has led to advances in the phenology of many nontropical plants and animals. As species and populatio... |

Allowable carbon emissions lowered by multiple climate targets
|
Climate targets are designed to inform policies that would limit the
magnitude and impacts of climate change caused by anthropogenic
emissions of greenhouse g... |
