Vulnerability of terrestrial island vertebrates to projected sea-level rise
|
Sea-level rise (SLR) from global warming may have severe consequences for biodiversity; however, a baseline, broad- scale assessment of the potential consequenc... |
The rebound effect is overplayed
|
Increasing energy efficiency brings emissions savings. Claims that it backfires are a distraction, say Kenneth Gillingham and colleagues. |

Experimental studies of dead-wood biodiversity — A review identifying global gaps in knowledge
|
The importance of dead wood for biodiversity is widely recognized but strategies for conservation exist only in some regions worldwide. Most strategies combine ... |
Increase in forest water-use efficiency as atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations rise
|
Terrestrial plants remove CO2 from the atmosphere through photo- synthesis, a process that is accompanied by the loss of water vapour from leaves1. The ratio of... |
Terrestrial water fluxes dominated by transpiration
|
Renewable fresh water over continents has input from precipitation and losses to the atmosphere through evaporation and transpiration .... The dominance of tran... |
Persistent reduced ecosystem respiration after insect disturbance in high elevation forests
|
Amid a worldwide increase in tree mortality, mountain pine beetles (Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins) have led to the death of billions of trees from Mexico to A... |
CO2 emissions from land-use change affected more by nitrogen cycle, than by the choice of land-cover data
|
The high uncertainty in land-based CO2 fluxes estimates is thought to be mainly due to uncertainty in not only quantifying historical changes among forests, cro... |
Long-term census data reveal abundant wildlife populations at Chernobyl
|
Relative abundances of elk, roe deer, red deer and wild boar within the Chernobyl exclusion zone are similar to those in four (uncontaminated) nature reserves ... |
Effects of grazing on grassland soil carbon: a global review
|
Soils of grasslands represent a large potential reservoir for storing CO2, but this potential likely depends on how grasslands are managed for large mammal graz... |
Terrestrial water fluxes dominated by transpiration
|
Renewable fresh water over continents has input from precipitation and losses to the atmosphere through evaporation and transpiration. Global-scale estimates of... |
The temperature response of soil microbial efficiency and its feedback to climate
|
Soils are the largest repository of organic carbon (C) in the terrestrial biosphere and represent an important source of carbon dioxide (CO2)totheatmosphere,rel... |
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... |

Mineral soil carbon fluxes in forests and implications for carbon balance assessments
|
Forest carbon cycles play an important role in efforts to understand and mitigate climate change. Large amounts of carbon (C) are stored in deep mineral forest ... |
Monsoon Melee

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 ... |

Land, irrigation water, greenhouse gas, and reactive nitrogen burdens of meat, eggs, and dairy production in the United States
|
Livestock production impacts air and water quality, ocean health, and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions on regional to global scales and it is the largest use of l... |
