Title Description
ncomms7682 1.pdf
Wildfire and fuel treatment effects on forest carbon dynamics in the western United States Sequestration of carbon (C) in forests has the potential to mitigate the effects of climate change by offsetting future emissions of greenhouse gases. However,...
Fragmentation and thermal risks from climate change interact to affect persistence of native trout in the Colorado River basin Impending changes in climate will interact with other stressors to threaten aquatic ecosystems and their biota. Native Colorado River cutthroat trout (CRCT; Onc...
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...
Hot climates, high sensitivity Concluding paragraph: One sure solution to the problem posed by uncertainty of climate sensitivity in hot climates is simply not to go there. Unfortunately, it ...
Reconciling nature conservation and traditional farming practices: a spatially explicit framework to assess the extent of High Nature Value farmlands in the European countryside Over past centuries, European landscapes have been shaped by human management. Traditional, low intensity agricultural practices, adapted to local climatic, geo...
Status and Ecological Effects of the World’s Largest Carnivores The largest terrestrial species in the order Carnivora are wide-ranging and rare because of their positions at the top of food webs. They are some of the world...
The Montérégie Connection: linking landscapes, biodiversity, and ecosystem services to improve decision making To maximize specific ecosystem services (ES) such as food production, people alter landscape structure, i.e., the types of ecosystems present, their relative pr...
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...
Effect of Risk Aversion on Prioritizing Conservation Projects Agencies making decisions about what threat mitigation actions to take to save which species frequently face the dilemma of whether to invest in actions with hi...

Untangling human and environmental effects on geographical gradients of mammal species richness: a global and regional evaluation 1. Different hypotheses (geographical, ecological, evolutionary or a combination of them) have been suggested to account for the spatial variation in species ri...
How does climate change influence demographic processes of widespread species? Lessons from the comparative analysis of contrasted populations of roe deer How populations respond to climate change depends on the interplay between life history, resource avail- ability, and the intensity of the change. Roe deer are ...
A Chinese cave links climate change, social impacts, and human adaptation over the last 500 years The collapse of some pre-historical and historical cultures, including Chinese dynasties were presumably linked to widespread droughts, on the basis of synchron...
How does crop residue removal affect soil organic carbon and yield? A hierarchical analysis of management and environmental factors Our results suggest that crop residue removal is not recommended in tropical soils, particularly in coarse-textured ones, and in SOC-depleted soils in temperate...
Heat stress related dairy cow mortality during heat waves and control periods in rural Southern Ontario from 2010–2012 Background: Heat stress is a physiological response to extreme environmental heat such as heat waves. Heat stress can result in mortality in dairy cows when ext...
Reconciling nature conservation and traditional farming practices: a spatially explicit framework to assess the extent of High Nature Value farmlands in the European countryside Agriculture constitutes a dominant land cover worldwide, and rural landscapes under extensive farming practices acknowledged due to high biodiversity levels. Th...
Future hotspots of terrestrial mammal loss Current levels of endangerment and historical trends of species and habitats are the main criteria used to direct conservation efforts globally. Estimates of fu...
Comparative Drought Responses of Quercus ilex L. and Pinus sylvestris L. in a Montane Forest Undergoing a Vegetation Shift Different functional and structural strategies to cope with water shortage exist both within and across plant communities. The current trend towards increasing ...
