Title Description
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 ...
After the talks The real business of decarbonization begins after an agreement is signed at the Paris climate conference, argue David G. Victor and James P. Leape.
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...
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...
Human mining activity across the ages determines the genetic structure of modern brown trout (Salmo trutta L.) populations Humans have exploited the earth’s metal resources for thousands of years leaving behind a legacy of toxic metal contamination and poor water quality. The sout...
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...
Sustainable Development under Population Pressure: Lessons from Developed Land Consumption in the Conterminous U.S. Population growth will result in a significant anthropogenic environmental change worldwide through increases in developed land (DL) consumption. DL consumption...
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...

Spatial aspects of tree mortality strongly differ between young and old-growth forests In young forests, mortality should be primarily density dependent due to competition for light, leading to an increasingly spatially uniform pattern of survivi...
Forest disturbance across the conterminous United States from 1985–2012: The emerging dominance of forest decline Evidence of shifting dominance among major forest disturbance agent classes regionally to globally has been emerging in the literature. For example, climate-rel...
The 2 °C dream Countries have pledged to limit global warming to 2 °C, and climate models say that is still possible. But only with heroic — and unlikely — efforts.

Thermodynamics of firms’ growth The distribution of firms’ growth and firms’ sizes is a topic under intense scrutiny. In this paper, we show that a thermodynamic model based on the maximum...

Eocene atmospheric CO2 from the nahcolite proxy Paleotemperature estimates from leaf fossils and fluid inclusions in halite suggest an upper limit for [CO2]atm in the EECO from the nahcolite proxy of ~1260 pp...
Impact of ocean acidification on the structure of future phytoplankton communities Phytoplankton form the foundation of the marine food web and regulate key biogeochemical processes. These organisms face multiple environmental changes1, includ...
Conservation in a social-ecological system experiencing climate-induced tree mortality We present a social-ecological framework to provide insight into climate adaptation strategies and diverse perspectives on interventions in protected areas for ...

Scenarios of future land use change around United States’ protected areas Land use change around protected areas can diminish their conservation value, making it important to predict future land use changes nearby. Our goal was to ev...
