Impacts of mountaintop mining on terrestrial ecosystem integrity: identifying landscape thresholds for avian species in the central Appalachians, United States
|
Reclaimed mine-dominated landscapes (less forest and more grassland/shrubland cover) elicited more negative (57 %) than positive (39 %) species responses. Negat... |

Ice melt, sea level rise and superstorms: evidence from paleoclimate data, climate modeling, and modern observations that 2C global warming is highly dangerous
|
There is evidence of ice melt, sea level rise to +5–9 m, and extreme storms in the prior interglacial period that was less than 1◦C warmer than today. Human... |

Observed and predicted effects of climate change on species abundance in protected areas
|
The dynamic nature and diversity of species’ responses to climate change poses significant difficulties for developing robust, long-term conservation strategi... |

Impact of reduced Arctic sea ice on Greenland ice sheet variability in a warmer than present climate
|
A global climate model with interactive vegetation and a coupled ice sheet-shelf component is used to test the response of the Greenland ice sheet (GIS) to incr... |
