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... |

Observed and predicted effects of climate change on species abundance in protected areas
|
The dynamic nature and diversity of species’ responses to climate change poses significant difficulties for developing robust, long-term conservation strategi... |
|
Coupling snowpack and groundwater dynamics to interpret historical streamflow trends in the western United States
|
A key challenge for resource and land managers is predicting the consequences of climate warming on streamflow and water resources. During the last century in t... |
|
A holistic approach to climate targets
|
An assessment of allowable carbon emissions that factors in multiple climate targets finds smaller permissible emission budgets than those inferred from studies... |

Saturation-state sensitivity of marine bivalve larvae to ocean acidification
|
Ocean acidification results in co-varying inorganic carbon system variables. Of these, an explicit focus on pH and organismal acid–base regulation has failed ... |
|
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... |
|
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... |

Downstream Warming and Headwater Acidity May Diminish Coldwater Habitat in Southern Appalachian Mountain Streams
|
Stream-dwelling species in the U.S. southern Appalachian Mountains region are particularly vulnerable to climate change and acidification. The objectives of thi... |
|
The impact of climate change on the structure of Pleistocene food webs across the mammoth steppe
|
Species interactions form food webs, impacting community structure and, potentially, ecological dynamics. It is likely that global climatic perturbations that o... |

Energy intensities, EROIs (energy returned on invested), and energy payback times of electricity generating power plants
|
The energy returned on investment, EROI, has been evaluated for typical power plants representing wind energy, photovoltaics, solar thermal, hydro, natural gas,... |
|
How complex do models need to be to predict dispersal of threatened species through matrix habitats?
|
Persistence of species in fragmented landscapes depends on dispersal among suitable breeding sites, and dispersal is often influenced by the ‘‘matrix’’ ... |

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... |
|
Why a collapse of global civilization will be avoided: a comment on Ehrlich & Ehrlich
|
1st paragraph: Ehrlich FRS & Ehrlich [1] claim that over-population, over-consumption and the future climate mean that ‘preventing a global collapse of civili... |

Impacts of the EU biofuel policy on agricultural markets and land use
|
The European Union's Renewable Energy Directive (RED)1 sets an overall target of 20% of the EU's energy used to come from renewable sources by 2020. As part of ... |
|
Soil food web properties explain ecosystem services across European land use systems
|
Intensive land use reduces the diversity and abundance of many soil biota, with consequences for the processes that they govern and the ecosystem services that ... |
|
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 ... |

Global imprint of climate change on marine life
|
Past meta-analyses of the response of marine organisms to climate change have examined a limited range of locations1,2, taxonomic groups2–4 and/or biological ... |
