Title Description
Climate Outlook Looking Much The Same, or Even Worse Climate scientists have been feverishly preparing analyses for inclusion in the fifth climate assessment report (AR5) of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate ...
The challenge to keep global warming below 2 °C The latest carbon dioxide emissions continue to track the high end of emission scenarios, making it even less likely global warming will stay below 2 °C. A shi...
Regional variability in extinction thresholds for forest birds in the north-eastern United States: an examination of potential drivers using long-term breeding bird atlas datasets Main conclusions: Extinction threshold estimates varied tremendously across species and landscapes. Thus, habitat thresholds are difficult to generalize as they...
Influence of different tree-harvesting intensities on forest soil carbon stocks in boreal and northern temperate forest ecosystems
Impacts of Climate Change on Biodiversity, Ecosystems, and Ecosystem Services Technical Input to the 2013 National Climate Assessment KEY FINDINGS Biodiversity and ecosystems are already more stressed than at any comparable period of human history. Climate change almost always exacerbates the...
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 ...
Modeling sediment accumulation in North American playa wetlands in response to climate change, 1940–2100 Playa wetlands on the west-central Great Plains of North America are vulnerable to sediment infilling from upland agriculture, putting at risk several important...
Spatial patterns and policy implications for residential water use The front yard makes a powerful visual statement about the occupants of the residence. As visible statements, yards are likely to induce a behavioral response...
Phylogenetic and functional diversity in large carnivore assemblages Large terrestrial carnivores are important ecological components and promi- nent flagship species, but are often extinction prone owing to a combination of biol...
Herb layer extinction debt in highly fragmented temperate forests – Completely paid after 160 years? The time-delayed extinction of plant species following habitat fragmentation is a well-known phenomenon in ecology. The length of the relaxation time until this...
UrbanBatsgcb12884.pdf
Coastal habitats shield people and property from sea-level rise and storms Extreme weather, sea-level rise and degraded coastal ecosystems are placing people and property at greater risk of damage from coastal hazards 1–5. The likeli...

Forest disturbance across the conterminous United States from 1985–2012: The emerging dominance of forest decline Evidence of shifting dominance among major forest disturbance agent classes regionally to globally has been emerging in the literature. For example, climate-rel...
Toro_et_al-2015-Diversity_and_Distributions.pdf
Global protected area expansion is compromised by projected land-use and parochialism Protected areas are one of the main tools for halting the continuing global biodiversity crisis1–4 caused by habitat loss, fragmentation and other anthropogen...
Extreme Weather Events in Europe: preparing for climate change adaptation This study arises from the concern that changes in weather patterns will be one of the principal effects of climate change and with these will come extreme weat...
Post-clearcut dynamics of carbon, water and energy exchanges in a midlatitude temperate, deciduous broadleaf forest environment Clearcutting and other forest disturbances perturb carbon, water, and energy balances in significant ways, with corre- sponding influences on Earth’s climate ...
Conservation value of forests attacked by bark beetles: Highest number of indicator species is found in early successional stages Heavy natural disturbance in large protected areas of former commercial forests increasingly evokes European parliaments to call for management intervention bec...
Global imprint of climate change on marine life Past meta-analyses of the response of marine organisms to climate change have examined a limited range of locations1,2, taxonomic groups2–4 and/or biological ...
