Significant anthropogenic-induced changes of climate classes since 1950
|
Anthropogenic forcings have contributed to global and regional warming in the last few decades and likely affected terrestrial precipitation. Here we examine ch... |

Uncertainty in the response of transpiration to CO2 and implications for climate change
|
While terrestrial precipitation is a societally highly relevant climate variable, there is little consensus among climate models about its projected 21st centur... |

Palaeodata-informed modelling of large carbon losses from recent burning of boreal forests
|
Although boreal fire regimes are heterogeneous, recent trends6 and future projections7 point to increasing fire activity in response to climate warming througho... |

Palaeodata-informed modelling of large carbon losses from recent burning of boreal forests
|
Wildfires play a key role in the boreal forest carbon cycle (1,2) , and models suggest that accelerated burning will increase boreal C emissions in the coming c... |

Evaporative cooling over the Tibetan Plateau induced by vegetation growth
|
Here, we show that in contrast to arctic regions, increased growing season vegetation activity over the TP may have attenuated surface warming. This negative fe... |

Carbon Sequestration in Two Created Riverine Wetlands in the Midwestern United States
|
Wetlands have the ability to accumulate significant amounts of carbon (C) and thus could provide an effective approach to mitigate greenhouse gas accumulation i... |

Downstream Warming and Headwater Acidity May Diminish Coldwater Habitat in Southern Appalachian Mountain Streams
|
Stream-dwelling species in the U.S. southern Appalachian Mountains region are particularly vulnerable to climate change and acidification. The objectives of thi... |

Worldwide evidence of a unimodal relationship between productivity and plant species richness
|
The search for predictions of species diversity across environmental gradients has challenged ecologists for decades. The humped-back model (HBM) suggests that ... |

The influence of contextual cues on the perceived status of consumption-reducing behavior
|
The question of whether and when behaviors that reduce overall consumption are associated with low status has not been adequately explored. Previous research su... |

Integrated assessment of global water scarcity over the 21st century under multiple climate change mitigation policies
|
Water scarcity conditions over the 21st century both globally and regionally are assessed in the context of climate change and climate mitigation policies, by e... |

Rebuilding Soils on Mined Land for Native Forests in Appalachia
|
The eastern U.S. Appalachian region supports the world’s most extensive
temperate forests, but surface mining for coal has caused forest loss. New

Some of the best-known and most-cherished mountains on Earth are set in the
Canadian Rockies of British Columbia and Alberta. Indeed, the mention of

Global and regional trends in greenhouse gas emissions from livestock
|
Following IPCC guidelines (IPCC 2006), we estimate greenhouse gas emissions related to livestock in 237 countries and 11 livestock categories during the period ... |

Impacts in the third dimension
|
Despite reports of no trends in snow- and rainfall, rivers in the northwest USA have run lower and lower in recent decades. A closer look at high- and low-altit... |
