Title Description
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...
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...
Contrasting futures for ocean and society from different anthropogenic CO2 emissions scenarios The ocean moderates anthropogenic climate change at the cost of profound alterations of its physics, chemistry, ecology, and services. Here, we evaluate and com...
Estimating the global conservation status of more than 15,000 Amazonian tree species Estimates of extinction risk for Amazonian plant and animal species are rare and not often incorporated into land-use policy and conservation planning. We overl...
Long-term census data reveal abundant wildlife populations at Chernobyl Relative abundances of elk, roe deer, red deer and wild boar within the Chernobyl exclusion zone are similar to those in four (uncontaminated) nature reserves ...
Comparative Drought Responses of Quercus ilex L. and Pinus sylvestris L. in a Montane Forest Undergoing a Vegetation Shift Different functional and structural strategies to cope with water shortage exist both within and across plant communities. The current trend towards increasing ...
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...
National post-2020 greenhouse gas targets and diversity-aware leadership Achieving the collective goal of limiting warming to below 2 ◦ C or 1.5 ◦ C compared to pre-industrial levels requires a transition towards a fully decarbon...
Duality in climate science Delivery of palatable 2 °C mitigation scenarios depends on speculative negative emissions or changing the past. Scientists must make their assumptions transpar...
Land use efficiency: anticipating future demand for land-sector greenhouse gas emissions abatement and managing trade-offs with agriculture, water, and biodiversity Competition for land is increasing, and policy needs to ensure the efficient supply of multiple ecosystem services from land systems. We modelled the spatially ...
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...

Formation of soil organic matter via biochemical and physical pathways of litter mass loss Soil organic matter is the largest terrestrial carbon pool1. The pool size depends on the balance between formation of soil organic matter from decomposition of...
Formation of soil organic matter via biochemical and physical pathways of litter mass loss Soil organic matter is the largest terrestrial carbon pool (1). The pool size depends on the balance between formation of soil organic matter from decomposition...
A ‘perfect’ agreement in Paris is not essential Success at the latest climate talks will be a recognition by the world’s nations that incremental change will not do the job, says Johan Rockström.
Stop misuse of biodiversity offsets Governments should not meet existing conservation targets using the compensation that developers pay for damaging biodiversity, say Martine Maron and colleagues...
Experimental studies of dead-wood biodiversity — A review identifying global gaps in knowledge The importance of dead wood for biodiversity is widely recognized but strategies for conservation exist only in some regions worldwide. Most strategies combine ...
