Soil food web properties explain ecosystem services across European land use systems
|
Intensive land use reduces the diversity and abundance of many soil biota, with consequences for the processes that they govern and the ecosystem services that ... |
Formation of soil organic matter via biochemical and physical pathways of litter mass loss
|
Soil organic matter is the largest terrestrial carbon pool1. The pool size depends on the balance between formation of soil organic matter from decomposition of... |
Formation of soil organic matter via biochemical and physical pathways of litter mass loss
|
Soil organic matter is the largest terrestrial carbon pool (1). The pool size depends on the balance between formation of soil organic matter from decomposition... |
Habitat fragmentation and its lasting impact on Earth’s ecosystems
|
We conducted an analysis of global forest cover to reveal that 70% of remaining forest is within 1 km of the forest’s edge, subject to the degrading effects o... |
What can ecological science tell us about opportunities for carbon sequestration on arid rangelands in the United States?
|
Scientific interest in carbon sequestration on rangelands is largely driven by their extent, while the interest of ranchers in the United States centers on oppo... |
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... |
Thermodynamics of firms’ growth
|
The distribution of firms’ growth and firms’ sizes is a topic under intense scrutiny. In this paper, we show that a thermodynamic model based on the maximum... |
Sustainable Development under Population Pressure: Lessons from Developed Land Consumption in the Conterminous U.S.
|
Population growth will result in a significant anthropogenic environmental change worldwide through increases in developed land (DL) consumption. DL consumption... |
Water-controlled wealth of nations
|
Population growth is in general constrained by food production, which in turn depends on the access to water resources. At a country level, some populations use... |
Alleles underlying larval foraging behaviour influence adult dispersal in nature
|
The dispersal and migration of organisms have resulted in the colonisation of nearly every possible habitat and ultimately the extraordinary diversity of life. ... |

Global water resources affected by human interventions and climate change
|
Humans directly change the dynamics of the water cycle through dams constructed for water storage, and through water withdrawals for industrial, agricultural, o... |
National post-2020 greenhouse gas targets and diversity-aware leadership
|
Achieving the collective goal of limiting warming to below 2 ◦ C or 1.5 ◦ C compared to pre-industrial levels requires a transition towards a fully decarbon... |
Mapping tree density at a global scale
|
The global extent and distribution of forest trees is central to our understanding of the terrestrial biosphere. We provide the first spatially continuous map o... |
Stop misuse of biodiversity offsets
|
Governments should not meet existing conservation targets using the compensation that developers pay for damaging biodiversity, say Martine Maron and colleagues... |
THE COST OF INACTION: RECOGNISING THE VALUE AT RISK FROM CLIMATE CHANGE
|
The asset management industry—and thus the wider community of investors of all sizes— is facing the prospect of significant losses from the effects of clima... |
Three decades of multi-dimensional change in global leaf phenology
|
We show that the phenology of vegetation activity changed severely (by more than 2 standard deviations in one or more dimensions of phe- nological change) on 54... |
Asynchronous Online Foresight Panels: The Case of Wildfire Management
|
Framing the wildfire situation as a social trap emerged early in the Round 1 discussion and this topic was deemed important enough to merit its own discussion t... |
