Title Description
Sediment Trapping by Dams Creates Methane Emission Hot Spots Inland waters transport and transform sub- stantial amounts of carbon and account for ∼18% of global methane emissions. Large reservoirs with higher areal met...
Saturation-state sensitivity of marine bivalve larvae to ocean acidification Ocean acidification results in co-varying inorganic carbon system variables. Of these, an explicit focus on pH and organismal acid–base regulation has failed ...
Brownness of organics in aerosols from biomass burning linked to their black carbon content Atmospheric particulate matter plays an important role in the Earth’s radiative balance. Over the past two decades, it has been established that a portion of ...
A Reconstruction of Regional and Global Temperature for the Past 11,300 Years Surface temperature reconstructions of the past 1500 years suggest that recent warming is unprecedented in that time. Here we provide a broader perspective by ...
Microhabitats in the tropics buffer temperature in a globally coherent manner Vegetated habitats contain a variety of fine-scale features that can ameliorate temperate extremes. These buffered microhabitats may be used by species to evade...
rainfall preceded by air passage over forests Vegetation affects precipitation patterns by mediating moisture, energy and trace-gas fluxes between the surface and atmosphere1. When forests are replaced by p...
Stationarity Is Dead: Whither Water Management? Climate change undermines a basic assumption that historically has facilitated management of water supplies, demands, and risks. SCIENCE VOL 319
Reform forest fire management: Agency incentives undermine policy effectiveness Globally, wildfire size, severity, and frequency have been increasing, as have related fatalities and taxpayer- funded firefighting costs (1). In most accessibl...
Human land-use-driven reduction of forest volatiles cools global climate Human conversion of forest ecosystems to agriculture is a major driver of global change. Conventionally, the impacts of the historical cropland expansion on Ear...
Gas production in the Barnett Shale obeys a simple scaling theory Natural gas from tight shale formations will provide the United States with a major source of energy over the next several decades. Estimates of gas production ...
Human domination of the biosphere: Rapid discharge of the earth-space battery foretells the future of humankind Earth is a chemical battery where, over evolutionary time with a trickle-charge of photosynthesis using solar energy, billions of tons of living biomass were st...
OCEAN–ATMOSPHERE COUPLING Mesoscale eddy effects 1st paragraph: Because of its enormous heat capacity, the ocean plays a critical role in regulating the Earth’s climate. Up to about a decade ago, it was gene...

A phantom road experiment reveals traffic noise is an invisible source of habitat degradation Decades of research demonstrate that roads impact wildlife and suggest traffic noise as a primary cause of population declines near roads. We created a “phant...
The Myth of Smart Growth “Smart growth” is an urban growth management strategy that applies planning and design principles intended to mitigate the impacts of continued growth. If p...
Tree mortality predicted from drought-induced vascular damage The projected responses of forest ecosystems to warming and drying associated with twenty-first-century climate change vary widely from resiliency to widespread...
Columbia Water Center White Paper America’s Water Risk: Water Stress and Climate Variability The emerging awareness of the dependence of business on water has resulted in increasing awareness of the concept of “Water Risk” and the diverse ways in wh...
On the difference in the net ecosystem exchange of CO2 between deciduous and evergreen forests in the southeastern United States The southeastern United States is experiencing a rapid regional increase in the ratio of pine to deciduous forest ecosystems at the same time it is experiencing...
