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...
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...
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...
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...

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 ...
Sour Streams in Appalachia: Mapping Nature’s Buffer Against Sulfur Deposition Sulfur emissions are regulated by the Environmental Protection Agency, but sulfuric acid that has leached into soil and streams can linger in the environment a...

Growing feedback from ocean carbon to climate The finding that feedbacks between the ocean’s carbon cycle and climate may become larger than terrestrial carbon–climate feedbacks has implications for th...
Critical slowing down as early warning for the onset of collapse in mutualistic communities Tipping points are crossed when small changes in external conditions cause abrupt unexpected responses in the current state of a system. In the case of ecologic...
Global non-linear effect of temperature on economic production Growing evidence demonstrates that climatic conditions can have a profound impact on the functioning of modern human societies (1,2), but effects on economic ac...
Rising air and stream-water temperatures in Chesapeake Bay region, USA Monthly mean air temperature (AT) at 85 sites and instantaneous stream-water temperature (WT) at 129 sites for 1960–2010 are examined for the mid-Atlantic reg...

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 ...
Bird Richness and Abundance in Response to Urban Form in a Latin American City There is mounting evidence that urban areas influence biodiversity. Generalizations how- ever require that multiple urban areas on multiple continents be examin...
Historical legacies accumulate to shape future biodiversity in an era of rapid global change Main conclusions : The failure to give adequate consideration to widespread cumulative time-lags often masks the full extent of biodiversity changes that have a...
The links between ecosystem multifunctionality and above- and belowground biodiversity are mediated by climate Plant biodiversity is often correlated with ecosystem functioning in terrestrial ecosystems. However, we know little about the relative and combined effects of ...
Insect herbivory alters impact of atmospheric change on northern temperate forests Stimulation of forest productivity by elevated concentrations of CO2 is expected to partially offset continued increases in anthropogenic CO2 emissions. However...
