Adaptive management of biological systems: A review
Adaptive Management (AM) is widely considered to be the best available approach for managing biolog- ical systems in the presence of uncertainty. But AM has ...
Afforestation Effects on Soil Carbon Storage in the United States: A Synthesis
Afforestation (tree establishment on nonforested land) is a management option for increasing terrestrial C sequestration and mitigating rising atmo- spheric ...
A global overview of drought and heat-induced tree mortality reveals emerging climate change risks for forests
Of particular concern are potential increases in tree mortality associated with climate- induced physiological stress and interactions with other ...
Are we in the midst of the sixth mass extinction? A view from the world of amphibians
Many scientists argue that we are either entering or in the midst of the sixth great mass extinction. Intense human pressure, both direct and indirect, is ...
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, ...
Bird population trends are linearly affected by climate change along species thermal ranges
Beyond the effects of temperature increase on local population trends and on species distribution shifts, how populations of a given species are affected by ...
Bergmann’s rule and climate change revisited: Disentangling environmental and genetic responses in a wild bird population
Ecological responses to on-going climate change are numerous, diverse, and taxonomically widespread. However, with one exception, the relative roles of ...
Allometry of thermal variables in mammals: consequences of body size and phylogeny
A large number of analyses have examined how basal metabolic rate (BMR) is affected by body mass in mammals. By contrast, the critical ambient temperatures ...
A statistical procedure to determine recent climate change of extreme daily meteorological data as applied at two locations in Northwestern North America
An iterative chi-square method is applied to determine recent climate change of extremes of daily minimum temperature at two locations between an 18- year ...
A century of climate and ecosystem change in Western Montana: what do temperature trends portend?
Abstract The physical science linking human-induced increases ingreenhouse gasses to the warming of the global climate system is well established, but the ...
Climate change effects on stream and river temperatures across the northwest U.S. from 1980–2009 and implications for salmonid fishes
Thermal regimes in rivers and streams are fundamentally important to aquatic ecosystems and are expected to change in response to climate forcing as the ...
Drought in the United States: Causes and Issues for Congress
Drought is a natural hazard with often significant societal, economic, and environmental consequences. Public policy issues related to drought range from how ...
Climate change hotspots in the United States
We use a multi-model, multi-scenario climate model ensemble to identify climate change hotspots in the continental United States. Our ensemble consists of the ...
A dispersal-induced paradox: synchrony and stability in stochastic metapopulations
Understanding how dispersal influences the dynamics of spatially distributed populations is a major priority of both basic and applied ecologists. Two ...
Biodiversity effects on ecosystem functioning change along environmental stress gradients
Positive relationship between biodiversity and ecosystem functioning has been observed in many studies, but how this relationship is affected by environmental ...
Bias in the attribution of forest carbon sinks
A substantial fraction of the terrestrial carbon sink, past and present, may be incorrectly attributed to environmental change rather than changes in forest ...
Climate change and disruptions to global fire activity
Future disruptions to fire activity will threaten ecosystems and human well-being throughout the world, yet there are few fire projections at global scales and ...
Ancient Biomolecules from Deep Ice Cores Reveal a Forested Southern Greenland
It is difficult to obtain fossil data from the 10% of Earth’s terrestrial surface that is covered by thick glaciers and ice sheets, and hence, knowledge of the ...
Effects of Climatic Variability and Change on Forest Ecosystems: General Technical Report PNW-GTR-870 December 2012
This report is a scientific assessment of the current condition and likely future condition of forest resources in the United States relative to climatic ...
Annual plants change in size over a century of observations
Abstract Studies have documented changes in animal body size over the last century, but very little is known about changes in plant sizes, even though reduced ...
Biodiversity management in the face of climate change: A review of 22 years of recommendations
Climate change creates new challenges for biodiversity conservation. Species ranges and ecological dynamics are already responding to recent climate shifts, ...
Can forest management be used to sustain water-based ecosystem services in the face of climate change?
Forested watersheds, an important provider of ecosystems services related to water supply, can have their structure, function, and resulting streamflow ...
Climate Change Challenges and Opportunities for Global Health
Editorial: Journal of the American Medical Association. Health is inextricably linked to climate change. It is important for clinicians to understand this ...
Climate Change Puts Children in Jeopardy
From the text: Experts several years ago sounded the alarm on climate change’s potential harm to human health in the years to come. But the impact on a ...
Density stratification in an estuary with complex geometry: Driving processes and relationship to hypoxia on monthly to inter-annual timescales
The density field in Narragansett Bay (NB), a northeast U.S. estuary with complex geometry that suffers hypoxia, is described and related to driving factors ...
Climatic Impact of Tropical Lowland Deforestation on Nearby Montane Cloud Forests
Tropical montane cloud forests (TMCFs) depend on predictable, frequent, and prolonged immersion in cloud. Clearing upwind lowland forest alters surface energy ...
Divergent global precipitation changes induced by natural versus anthropogenic forcing
As a result of global warming, precipitation is likely to increase in high latitudes and the tropics and to decrease in already dry sub-tropical regions (1). ...
Acceleration of global warming due to carbon-cycle feedbacks in a coupled climate model
The continued increase in the atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide due to anthropogenic emissions is predicted to lead to significant changes in ...
Carbon respiration from subsurface peat accelerated by climate warming in the subarctic
Among the largest uncertainties in current projections of future climate is the feedback between the terrestrial carbon cycle and climate1. Northern peatlands ...
Call for a climate culture shift
A new book describes the rapid reshaping of human priorities needed to save the planet from global warming. Some of that change is already under way at the ...
