Commentary: The climate policy narrative for a dangerously warming world
|
It is time to acknowledge that global average temperatures are likely to rise above the 2 °C policy target and consider how that deeply troubling prospect shou... |

Increasing Northern Hemisphere water deficit
|
A monthly water-balance model is used with CRUTS3.1 gridded monthly precip- itation and potential evapotranspiration (PET) data to examine changes in global wat... |

The declining uptake rate of atmospheric CO2 by land and ocean sinks
|
Through 1959–2012, an airborne fraction (AF) of 0.44 of total anthropogenic CO2 emissions remained in the atmosphere, with the rest being taken up by land and... |

Using and improving the social cost of carbon: Regular, institutionalized updating and review are essential
|
The social cost of carbon (SCC) is a crucial tool for economic analysis of climate policies. The SCC estimates the dollar value of reduced climate change damage... |

Defaunation in the Anthropocene
|
We live amid a global wave of anthropogenically driven biodiversity loss: species
and population extirpations and, critically, declines in local species abunda... |

Global change and the groundwater management challenge
|
With rivers in critical regions already exploited to capacity throughout the world and ground- water overdraft as well as large-scale contamination occurring in... |

Projected increase in lightning strikes in the United States due to global warming
|
Lightning plays an important role in atmospheric chemistry and in the initiation of wildfires, but the impact of global warming on lightning rates is poorly con... |

Seasonal weather patterns drive population vital rates and persistence in a stream fish
|
Here, we investigated effects of seasonal air temperature and precipitation (fall, winter, and spring) on survival and recruitment of brook trout (Salvelinus fo... |

Accounting for groundwater in stream fish thermal habitat responses to climate change
|
Forecasting climate change effects on aquatic fauna and their habitat requires an understanding of how water temperature responds to changing air temperature (i... |

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... |
|
Life history and spatial traits predict extinction risk due to climate change
|
There is an urgent need to develop effective vulnerability assessments for evaluating the conservation status of species in a changing climate1. Several new ass... |

Invited Review: Quantifying surface albedo and other direct biogeophysical climate forcings of forestry activities
|
By altering fluxes of heat, momentum, and moisture exchanges between the land surface and atmosphere, forestry and other land-use activities affect climate. Alt... |

Assemblage Time Series Reveal Biodiversity Change but Not Systematic Loss
|
The extent to which biodiversity change in local assemblages contributes to global biodiversity
loss is poorly understood. We analyzed 100 time series from bio... |

Effect of Risk Aversion on Prioritizing Conservation Projects
|
Agencies making decisions about what threat mitigation actions to take to save which species frequently face the dilemma of whether to invest in actions with hi... |

Desert grassland responses to climate and soil moisture suggest divergent vulnerabilities across the southwestern United States
|
Climate change predictions include warming and drying trends, which are expected to be particularly pronounced in the southwestern United States. In this region... |

Global protected area expansion is compromised by projected land-use and parochialism
|
Protected areas are one of the main tools for halting the continuing global biodiversity crisis1–4 caused by habitat loss, fragmentation and other anthropogen... |
