Forecasting the response of Earth’s surface to future climatic and land use changes: A review of methods and research needs
|
In the future, Earth will be warmer, precipitation events will be more extreme, global mean
sea level will rise, and many arid and semiarid regions will be dri... |
Multi-year drought-induced morbidity preceding tree death in Southeastern US forests
|
Recent forest diebacks combined with threats of future drought focus attention on the extent to which tree death is caused by catastrophic events as opposed to ... |
The global volume and distribution of modern groundwater
|
Groundwater is important for energy and food security, human health and ecosystems. The time since groundwater was recharged—or groundwater age—can be impor... |

Wildlife-friendly farming increases crop yield: evidence for ecological intensification
|
Ecological intensification has been promoted as a means to achieve environmentally sustainable increases in crop yields by enhancing ecosystem functions that re... |
Climate change-associated tree mortality increases without decreasing water availability
|
Here, we reveal temporally increasing tree mortality across all study species over the last three decades in the central boreal forests of Canada, where long-te... |

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... |
Tree mortality predicted from drought-induced vascular damage
|
The projected responses of forest ecosystems to warming and drying associated with twenty-first-century climate change vary widely from resiliency to widespread... |
Ecosystem carbon stocks and sequestration potential of federal lands across the conterminous United States
|
Federal lands across the conterminous United States (CONUS) account for 23.5% of the CONUS terrestrial area but have received no systematic studies on their eco... |
Fear of failure in conservation: The problem and potential solutions to aid conservation of extremely small populations
|
The potential for extirpation of extremely small populations (ESPs) is high due to their vulnerability to
demographic and environmental stochasticity and negat... |
