The Hot Summer of 2010: Redrawing the Temperature Record Map of Europe
|
The summer of 2010 was exceptionally warm in eastern
Europe and large parts of Russia. We provide evidence
that the anomalous 2010 warmth that caused adverse
... |
The 2010 Amazon Drought
|
Several global circulation models (GCMs)
project an increase in the frequency and
severity of drought events affecting the
Amazon region as a consequence of ... |
Rapid growth in CO2 emissions after the 2008–2009 global financial crisis.pdf
|
1st paragraph: Global carbon dioxide emissions from fossil-fuel combustion and cement production grew 5.9% in 2010, surpassed 9 Pg of carbon (Pg C) for the firs... |
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... |
Open or closed? A discussion of the mistaken assumptions in the Economides pressure analysis of carbon sequestration
|
The proposition by Economides and Ehlig–Economides (E&E) in 2009 and 2010 that geological storage of CO2 is ‘not feasible at any cost’ deserves to be exam... |
Global and regional trends in greenhouse gas emissions from livestock
|
Following IPCC guidelines (IPCC 2006), we estimate greenhouse gas emissions related to livestock in 237 countries and 11 livestock categories during the period ... |
Early Warnings of Regime Shifts: A Whole-Ecosystem Experiment
|
Catastrophic ecological regime shifts may be announced in advance by statistical early warning signals such as slowing return rates from perturbation and rising... |
Biogenic vs. geologic carbon emissions and forest biomass energy production
|
n the current debate over the CO2 emissions implications of switching from fossil fuel energy sources to include a substantial amount of woody biomass energy, m... |
Creation of a Gilded Trap by the High Economic Value of the Maine Lobster Fishery
|
Unsustainable fishing simplifies food chains and, as with aquaculture, can result in reliance on a few economically valuable species. This lack of diversity may... |

Drought’s legacy: multiyear hydraulic deterioration underlies widespread aspen forest die-off and portends increased future risk
|
Forest mortality constitutes a major uncertainty in projections of climate impacts on terrestrial ecosystems and car- bon-cycle feedbacks. Recent drought-induce... |
Dissecting insect responses to climate warming: overwintering and post-diapause performance in the southern green stink bug, Nezara viridula, under simulated climate-change conditions
|
The effect of simulated climate change on overwintering and postdiapause
reproductive performance is studied in Nezara viridula (L.) (Heteroptera:
Pentatomida... |
A Determination of the Cloud Feedback from Climate Variations over the Past Decade
|
Estimates of Earth's climate sensitivity are uncertain, largely because of uncertainty in the
long-term cloud feedback. I estimated the magnitude of the cloud ... |
Impacts of climate change on the future of biodiversity
|
Many studies in recent years have investigated the effects of climate change on the future of biodiversity. In this review, we first examine the different possi... |
The 2010 Pakistan Flood and Russian Heat Wave: Teleconnection of Hydrometeorologic Extremes
|
In this paper, we present preliminary results showing that the two record setting extreme events during 2010 summer, i.e., the Russian heat wave/wild fires and ... |
CO2 emissions from land-use change affected more by nitrogen cycle, than by the choice of land-cover data
|
The high uncertainty in land-based CO2 fluxes estimates is thought to be mainly due to uncertainty in not only quantifying historical changes among forests, cro... |
Adapting to flood risk under climate change
|
Flooding is the most common natural hazard and third most damaging globally after storms and earthquakes. Anthropogenic climate change is expected to increase f... |
Rising air and stream-water temperatures in Chesapeake Bay region, USA
|
Monthly mean air temperature (AT) at 85 sites and instantaneous stream-water temperature (WT) at 129 sites for 1960–2010 are examined for the mid-Atlantic reg... |
Modelling the long-term response to positive and negative priming of soil organic carbon by black carbon
|
bserved increases in the mineralization rate of labile organic carbon (LOC) in the presence of black carbon (BC) have led to speculation that corresponding decr... |
Using Tree Rings to Predict the Response of Tree Growth to Climate Change in the Continental United States during the Twenty-First Century
|
In the early 1900s, tree-ring scientists began analyzing the relative widths of annual growth rings preserved in the cross sections of trees to infer past clima... |
