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... |

Fire and Fish Dynamics in a Changing Climate: Broad- and Local-Scale Effects of Fire-Induced Water Temperature Changes on Native and Nonnative Fish Communities
|
Fire is a key natural disturbance that affects the distribution and abundance of native fishes in the Rocky Mountain West. In the absence of migratory individua... |

Comparing carbon sequestration in temperate freshwater wetland communities
|
High productivity and waterlogged conditions make many freshwater wetlands significant carbon sinks. Most wet- land carbon studies focus on boreal peatlands, ho... |

Modeling sediment accumulation in North American playa wetlands in response to climate change, 1940–2100
|
Playa wetlands on the west-central Great Plains of North America are vulnerable to sediment infilling from upland agriculture, putting at risk several important... |

Point of No Return :The massive climate threats we must avoid
|
The world is quickly reaching a Point of No Return for preventing the worst impacts of climate change. Continuing on the current course will make it difficult, ... |

CO2 emissions from land-use change affected more by nitrogen cycle, than by the choice of land-cover data
|
The high uncertainty in land-based CO2 fluxes estimates is thought to be mainly due to uncertainty in not only quantifying historical changes among forests, cro... |

Genetic change for earlier migration timing in a pink salmon population
|
To predict how climate change will influence populations, it is necessary to understand the mechanisms, particularly microevolution and phenotypic plasticity, t... |

A drought-induced pervasive increase in tree mortality across Canada’s boreal forests
|
Drought-induced tree mortality is expected to increase worldwide under projected future climate changes (1–4). The Canadian boreal forests, which occupy about... |

The Next Dust Bowl
|
Drought is the most pressing problem caused by climate change. It receives too little attention, says Joseph Romm. |

Climate Change, Aboveground-Belowground Interactions, and Species’ Range Shifts
|
Changes in climate, land use, fire incidence, and ecological connections all may contribute to current species’ range shifts. Species shift range individually... |

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... |

Forecasting the response of Earth’s surface to future climatic and land use changes: A review of methods and research needs
|
In the future, Earth will be warmer, precipitation events will be more extreme, global mean
sea level will rise, and many arid and semiarid regions will be dri... |
