Cross-scale impact of climate temporal variability on ecosystem water and carbon fluxes
|
While the importance of ecosystem functioning is undisputed in the context of climate change and Earth system modeling, the role of short-scale temporal variabi... |

Contrasting futures for ocean and society from different anthropogenic CO2 emissions scenarios
|
The ocean moderates anthropogenic climate change at the cost of profound alterations of its physics, chemistry, ecology, and services. Here, we evaluate and com... |

Temporal dynamics of a commensal network of cavity-nesting vertebrates: increased diversity during an insect outbreak
|
Network analysis offers insight into the structure and function of ecological
communities, but little is known about how empirical networks change over time du... |

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... |
|
Mountain landscapes offer few opportunities for high-elevation tree species migration
|
Climate change is anticipated to alter plant species distributions. Regional context, notably the spatial complexity of climatic gradients, may influence specie... |
|
Robust spatially aggregated projections of climate extremes
|
Many climatic extremes are changing1–5, and decision-makers express a strong need for reliable information on further changes over the coming decades as a bas... |

Landscape-scale carbon storage associated with beaver dams
|
Beaver meadows form when beaver dams promote
prolonged overbank flooding and floodplain retention of
sediment and organic matter. Extensive beaver meadows fo... |

Limits to adaptation
|
An actor-centered, risk-based approach to defining limits to social adaptation provides a useful analytic framing for identifying and anticipating these limits ... |

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... |

A reality check on the shale revolution
|
The production of shale gas and oil in the United States is overhyped and the costs are underestimated, says J. David Hughes. |

Temporal stability in forest productivity increases with tree diversity due to asynchrony in species dynamics
|
Theory predicts a positive relationship between biodiversity and stability in ecosystem properties, while diversity is expected to have a negative impact on sta... |

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... |

Inhomogeneous forcing and transient climate sensitivity
|
Understanding climate sensitivity is critical to projecting climate change in response to a given forcing scenario. Recent analyses1–3 have suggested that tra... |

OCEAN–ATMOSPHERE COUPLING Mesoscale eddy effects
|
1st paragraph: Because of its enormous heat capacity, the ocean plays a critical role in regulating the Earth’s climate. Up to about a decade ago, it was gene... |

Using and improving the social cost of carbon: Regular, institutionalized updating and review are essential
|
The social cost of carbon (SCC) is a crucial tool for economic analysis of climate policies. The SCC estimates the dollar value of reduced climate change damage... |

Growing feedback from ocean carbon to climate
|
The finding that feedbacks between the ocean’s carbon cycle and climate may
become larger than terrestrial carbon–climate feedbacks has implications for th... |
