Changes in climate and land use have a larger direct impact than rising CO2 on global river runoff trends
The significant worldwide increase in observed river runoff has been tentatively attributed to the stomatal ‘‘antitranspirant’’ response of plants to rising ...
Effect of per-capita land use changes on Holocene forest clearance and CO2 emissions
The centerpiece of the early anthropogenic hypothesis is the claim that humans took control of greenhouse-gas trends thousands of years ago because of ...
Changes in the Asian monsoon climate during 1700 –1850 induced by preindustrial cultivation
Preindustrial changes in the Asian summer monsoon climate from the 1700s to the 1850s were estimated with an atmospheric general circulation model (AGCM) using ...
Domesticated Nature: Shaping Landscapes and Ecosystems for Human Welfare
Like all species, humans have exercised their impulse to perpetuate and propagate themselves. In doing so, we have domesticated landscapes and ecosystems in ...
A phylogenetic perspective on the distribution of plant diversity
Phylogenetic studies are revealing that major ecological niches are more conserved through evolutionary history than expected, implying that adaptations to ...
Adapting to a Changing Climate in the Southeast
Whether it’s change to native terrestrial habitats or sea level rise and impacts to vital coastal wetlands and marshes, we are only beginning to understand ...
Climate change and the ecologist
The evidence for rapid climate change now seems overwhelming. Global temperatures are predicted to rise by up to 4 °C by 2100, with associated alterations in ...
Aerosols heat up
Solid particles suspended in the atmosphere have long played second fiddle to greenhouse gases as agents of climate change. A study of atmospheric heating over ...
Do small tributaries function as refuges from floods? A test in a salmonid-dominated mountainous river
Excerpts from the text: On 8–10 August 2003, a powerful typhoon hit Hokkaido Island, Japan, accompanied with heavy rain, which allowed us to investigate the ...
Characteristics, distribution and geomorphic role of large woody debris in a mountain stream of the Chilean Andes
The paper presents an analysis of amounts, characteristics and morphological impact of large woody debris (LWD) in the Tres Arroyos stream, draining an ...
Distribution and characterization of in‐channel large wood in relation to geomorphic patterns on a low‐gradient river
A 177 river km georeferenced aerial survey of in‐channel large wood (LW) on the lower Roanoke River, NC was conducted to determine LW dynamics and ...
A LIDAR‐DERIVED EVALUATION OF WATERSHED‐SCALE LARGE WOODY DEBRIS SOURCES AND RECRUITMENT MECHANISMS: COASTAL MAINE, USA
In‐channel large woody debris (LWD) promotes quality aquatic habitat through sediment sorting, pool scouring and in‐stream nutrient retention and transport. ...
Effects of Flow Regulation on Shallow-Water Habitat Dynamics and Floodplain Connectivity
Our study examined the effects of flow regulation on the spatiotemporal availability of shallow habitat patches with slow current velocity (SSCV patches) and ...
1.5°C or 2°C: a conduit’s view from the science-policy interface at COP20 in Lima, Peru
An average global 2°C warming compared to pre-industrial times is commonly understood as the most important target in climate policy negotiations. It is a ...
Biodiversity gains from efficient use of private sponsorship for flagship species conservation
To address the global extinction crisis, both efficient use of existing conservation funding and new sources of funding are vital. Private sponsorship of ...
Climate: Sawyer predicted rate of warming in 1972
Excerpt: "In four pages Sawyer summarized what was known about the role of carbon dioxide in enhancing the natural greenhouse effect, and made a remarkable ...
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 ...
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 ...
Impacts of mountaintop mining on terrestrial ecosystem integrity: identifying landscape thresholds for avian species in the central Appalachians, United States
Reclaimed mine-dominated landscapes (less forest and more grassland/shrubland cover) elicited more negative (57 %) than positive (39 %) species responses. ...
Are conservation organizations configured for effective adaptation to global change?
Conservation organizations must adapt to respond to the ecological impacts of global change. Numerous changes to conservation actions (eg facilitated ...
A global overview of drought and heat-induced tree mortality reveals emerging climate change risks for forests
Greenhouse gas emissions have significantly altered global climate, and will continue to do so in the future. Increases in the frequency, duration, and/or ...
Scaling up from gardens: biodiversity conservation in urban environments
As urbanisation increases globally and the natural environment becomes increasingly fragmented, the importance of urban green spaces for biodiversity ...
Scenarios of future land use change around United States’ protected areas
Land use change around protected areas can diminish their conservation value, making it important to predict future land use changes nearby. Our goal was to ...
A long-term perspective on a modern drought in the American Southeast
The depth of the 2006–9 drought in the humid, southeastern US left several metropolitan areas with only a 60–120 day water supply. To put the region’s recent ...
Invited Review: Quantifying surface albedo and other direct biogeophysical climate forcings of forestry activities
By altering fluxes of heat, momentum, and moisture exchanges between the land surface and atmosphere, forestry and other land-use activities affect climate. ...
Reconciling nature conservation and traditional farming practices: a spatially explicit framework to assess the extent of High Nature Value farmlands in the European countryside
Over past centuries, European landscapes have been shaped by human management. Traditional, low intensity agricultural practices, adapted to local climatic, ...
Fear of failure in conservation: The problem and potential solutions to aid conservation of extremely small populations
The potential for extirpation of extremely small populations (ESPs) is high due to their vulnerability to demographic and environmental stochasticity and ...
Protected areas in Borneo may fail to conserve tropical forest biodiversity under climate change
Protected areas (PAs) are key for conserving rainforest species, but many PAs are becoming increasingly isolated within agricultural landscapes, which may ...
The State of Greenhouse Gases in the Atmosphere Based on Global Observations through 2013
The WMO Global Atmosphere Watch (GAW) coordinates observations of the most important contributors to climate change: long-lived greenhouse gases(LLGHG). In the ...
Insect herbivory alters impact of atmospheric change on northern temperate forests
Stimulation of forest productivity by elevated concentrations of CO2 is expected to partially offset continued increases in anthropogenic CO2 emissions. ...
