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... |

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... |

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... |
