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... |

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... |

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... |

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... |

Long-term census data reveal abundant wildlife populations at Chernobyl
|
Relative abundances of elk, roe deer, red deer and wild boar within the Chernobyl exclusion zone are similar to those in four (uncontaminated) nature reserves ... |

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 ... |

Increasing Northern Hemisphere water deficit
|
A monthly water-balance model is used with CRUTS3.1 gridded monthly precip- itation and potential evapotranspiration (PET) data to examine changes in global wat... |

National post-2020 greenhouse gas targets and diversity-aware leadership
|
Achieving the collective goal of limiting warming to below 2 ◦ C or 1.5 ◦ C compared to pre-industrial levels requires a transition towards a fully decarbon... |

Duality in climate science
|
Delivery of palatable 2 °C mitigation scenarios depends on speculative negative emissions or changing the past. Scientists must make their assumptions transpar... |

Land use efficiency: anticipating future demand for land-sector greenhouse gas emissions abatement and managing trade-offs with agriculture, water, and biodiversity
|
Competition for land is increasing, and policy needs to ensure the efficient supply of multiple ecosystem services from land systems. We modelled the spatially ... |

A ‘perfect’ agreement in Paris is not essential
|
Success at the latest climate talks will be a recognition by the world’s nations that incremental change will not do the job, says Johan Rockström. |

Stop misuse of biodiversity offsets
|
Governments should not meet existing conservation targets using the compensation that developers pay for damaging biodiversity, say Martine Maron and colleagues... |
