Wildfire and fuel treatment effects on forest carbon dynamics in the western United States
|
Sequestration of carbon (C) in forests has the potential to mitigate the effects of climate change by offsetting
future emissions of greenhouse gases. However,... |

How does climate change influence demographic processes of widespread species? Lessons from the comparative analysis of contrasted populations of roe deer
|
How populations respond to climate change depends on the interplay between life history, resource avail- ability, and the intensity of the change. Roe deer are ... |

A Chinese cave links climate change, social impacts, and human adaptation over the last 500 years
|
The collapse of some pre-historical and historical cultures, including Chinese dynasties were presumably linked to widespread droughts, on the basis of synchron... |

How does crop residue removal affect soil organic carbon and yield? A hierarchical analysis of management and environmental factors
|
Our results suggest that crop residue removal is not recommended in tropical soils, particularly in coarse-textured ones, and in SOC-depleted soils in temperate... |
