Quantifying the negative feedback of vegetation to greenhouse warming: A modeling approach
|
Several climate models indicate that in a 2 × CO2 environment, temperature and precipitation would increase and runoff would increase faster than precipitation... |

Sea-level and salinity fluctuations during the Paleocene–Eocene thermal maximum in Arctic Spitsbergen
|
Palaeoenvironmental manifestations of the Paleocene–Eocene thermal maximum (PETM; ~ 56 Ma) are relatively well documented in low- to mid-latitude settings and... |
|
Assessing potential climate change effects on vegetation using a linked model approach
|
We developed a process that links the mechanistic power of dynamic global vegetation models with the detailed vegetation dynamics of state-and-transition models... |

The challenge to keep global warming below 2 °C
|
The latest carbon dioxide emissions continue to track the high end of emission scenarios, making it even less likely global warming will stay below 2 °C. A shi... |

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... |

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 ... |
|
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... |
|
Increasing soil methane sink along a 120-year afforestation chronosequence is driven by soil moisture
|
Upland soils are important sinks for atmospheric methane (CH4), a process essentially driven by methanotrophic bacteria. Soil CH4 uptake often depends on land u... |

The Holocene`
|
Combining nine tree growth proxies from four sites, from the west coast of Norway to the Kola Peninsula of NW Russia, provides a well replicated

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... |

Classification of Climate Change-Induced Stresses on Biological Diversity
|
Conservation actions need to account for and be adapted to address changes that will occur under global climate change. The identification of stresses on biolog... |

Groundwater depletion and sustainability of irrigation in the US High Plains and Central Valley
|
Aquifer overexploitation could significantly impact crop production in the United States because 60% of irrigation relies on groundwater. Groundwater depletion ... |
|
Projections of declining surface-water availability for the southwestern United States
|
Global warming driven by rising greenhouse-gas concentrations is expected to cause wet regions of the tropics and mid to high latitudes to get wetter and subtro... |

Consequences of widespread tree mortality triggered by drought and temperature stress
|
Forests provide innumerable ecological, societal and climatological benefits, yet they are vulnerable to drought and temperature extremes. Climate-driven forest... |

Space observations of inland water bodies show rapid surface warming since 1985
|
Surface temperatures were extracted from nighttime thermal infrared imagery of 167 large inland water bodies distributed worldwide beginning in 1985 for the mon... |

Analysis of monotonic greening and browning trends from global NDVI time-series
|
Remotely sensed vegetation indices are widely used to detect greening and browning trends; especially the global coverage of time-series normalized difference v... |

Seeds of Change for Restoration Ecology
|
FORESTS PROVIDE A WIDE VARIETY OF ECOSYSTEM SERVICES, INCLUDING PROVISIONS SUCH AS
food and fuel and services that affect climate and water quality (1). In lig... |

Ocean Salinities Reveal Strong Global Water Cycle Intensification During 1950 to 2000
|
Fundamental thermodynamics and climate models suggest that dry regions will become drier
and wet regions will become wetter in response to warming. Efforts to ... |
