Title Description
Projected increase in lightning strikes in the United States due to global warming Lightning plays an important role in atmospheric chemistry and in the initiation of wildfires, but the impact of global warming on lightning rates is poorly con...
Animal migration amid shifting patterns of phenology and predation: lessons from a Yellowstone elk herd Migration is a striking behavioral strategy by which many animals enhance resource acquisition while reducing predation risk. Historically, the demographic bene...
Increasing Northern Hemisphere water deficit A monthly water-balance model is used with CRUTS3.1 gridded monthly precip- itation and potential evapotranspiration (PET) data to examine changes in global wat...
Australia is ‘free to choose’ economic growth and falling environmental pressures Over two centuries of economic growth have put undeniable pressure on the ecological systems that underpin human well-being. While it is agreed that these press...
Global change and conservation triage on National Wildlife Refuges National Wildlife Refuges (NWRs) in the United States play an important role in the adaptation of social-ecological systems to climate change, land-use change,...
Social traps and environmental policy I argue that all the environmental problems mentioned above (and many other social problems) belong to a category of phenomenon called social traps (Platt 1973)...
Assemblage Time Series Reveal Biodiversity Change but Not Systematic Loss The extent to which biodiversity change in local assemblages contributes to global biodiversity loss is poorly understood. We analyzed 100 time series from bio...
Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Incentives: A Summary of Federal Programs Summary Energy is crucial to the operation of a modern industrial and services economy. Recently, there have been growing concerns about the availability and c...
Conservation in a social-ecological system experiencing climate-induced tree mortality We present a social-ecological framework to provide insight into climate adaptation strategies and diverse perspectives on interventions in protected areas for ...
Protected areas in Borneo may fail to conserve tropical forest biodiversity under climate change Protected areas (PAs) are key for conserving rainforest species, but many PAs are becoming increasingly isolated within agricultural landscapes, which may have...
AGU: Human-induced climate change requires urgent action. 1st paragraph: concentrations of carbon dioxide and other heat-trapping greenhouse gases have increased sharply since the Industrial Revolution. Fossil fuel bur...

Autopsy of two mega-heatwaves Record-breaking heatwaves in 2003 and 2010 surprised both the public and experts. Observations provide new insights into how temperatures escalated to unprecede...
The material footprint of nations Metrics on resource productivity currently used by governments suggest that some developed countries have increased the use of natural resources at a slower rat...
A systems approach to evaluating the air quality co-benefits of US carbon policies Because human activities emit greenhouse gases (GHGs) and conventional air pollutants from common sources, policy designed to reduce GHGs can have co-benefits f...
Impacts of the EU biofuel policy on agricultural markets and land use The European Union's Renewable Energy Directive (RED)1 sets an overall target of 20% of the EU's energy used to come from renewable sources by 2020. As part of ...
Adaptive management of biological systems: A review Adaptive Management (AM) is widely considered to be the best available approach for managing biolog- ical systems in the presence of uncertainty. But AM has arg...
Green-up dates in the Tibetan Plateau have continuously advanced from 1982 to 2011 As the Earth’s third pole, the Tibetan Plateau has experienced a pronounced warming in the past decades. Recent studies reported that the start of the vegetat...
Medieval warming initiated exceptionally large wildfire outbreaks in the Rocky Mountains Many of the largest wildfires in US history burned in recent decades, and climate change explains much of the increase in area burned. The frequency of extreme ...
Livestock and the Environment: What Have We Learned in the Past Decade? The livestock and environment nexus has been the subject of considerable research in the past decade. With a more prosperous and urbanized population projected ...
