Title Description
Biodiversity loss and its impact on humanity The most unique feature of Earth is the existence of life, and the most extraordinary feature of life is its diversity. Approximately 9 million types of plants,...
The material footprint of nations Metrics on resource productivity currently used by governments suggest that some developed countries have increased the use of natural resources at a slower rat...
Carbon loss from an unprecedented Arctic tundra wildfire Arctic tundra soils store large amounts of carbon (C) in organic soil layers hundreds to thousands of years old that insulate, and in some cases maintain, perma...
Delayed phenology and reduced fitness associated with climate change in a wild hibernator The most commonly reported ecological effects of climate change are shifts in phenologies, in particular of warmer spring temperatures leading to earlier timing...
Ice melt, sea level rise and superstorms: evidence from paleoclimate data, climate modeling, and modern observations that 2C global warming is highly dangerous There is evidence of ice melt, sea level rise to +5–9 m, and extreme storms in the prior interglacial period that was less than 1◦C warmer than today. Human...
Biodiversity Risks from Fossil Fuel Extraction The overlapping of biodiverse areas and fossil fuel reserves indicates high-risk regions.
Anthropogenic environments exert variable selection on cranial capacity in mammals It is thought that behaviourally flexible species will be able to cope with novel and rapidly changing environments associated with human activity. However, it ...
Sustainable Development under Population Pressure: Lessons from Developed Land Consumption in the Conterminous U.S. Population growth will result in a significant anthropogenic environmental change worldwide through increases in developed land (DL) consumption. DL consumption...
Genetic diversity in widespread species is not congruent with species richness in alpine plant communities The Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) aims at the conservation of all three levels of biodiversity, that is, ecosystems, species and genes. Genetic diver...
Climate Change and Existing Law: A Survey of Legal Issues Past, Present, and Future Summary: This report surveys existing law for legal issues that have arisen, or may arise in the future, on account of climate change and government responses t...
Palaeodata-informed modelling of large carbon losses from recent burning of boreal forests Although boreal fire regimes are heterogeneous, recent trends6 and future projections7 point to increasing fire activity in response to climate warming througho...
Integrating multiple lines of evidence into historical biogeography hypothesis testing: a Bison bison case study One of the grand goals of historical biogeography is to understand how and why species’ population sizes and distributions change over time. Multiple types of...
Microclimate moderates plant responses to macroclimate warming Recent global warming is acting across marine, freshwater, and terrestrial ecosystems to favor species adapted to warmer conditions and/or reduce the abundance ...
Observed and predicted effects of climate change on species abundance in protected areas The dynamic nature and diversity of species’ responses to climate change poses significant difficulties for developing robust, long-term conservation strategi...
Carbon debt of Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) grasslands converted to bioenergy production Over 13 million ha of former cropland are enrolled in the US Conservation Reserve Program (CRP), providing well-recognized biodiversity, water quality, and carb...
Wildlife-friendly farming increases crop yield: evidence for ecological intensification Ecological intensification has been promoted as a means to achieve environmentally sustainable increases in crop yields by enhancing ecosystem functions that re...
Why a collapse of global civilization will be avoided: a comment on Ehrlich & Ehrlich 1st paragraph: Ehrlich FRS & Ehrlich [1] claim that over-population, over-consumption and the future climate mean that ‘preventing a global collapse of civili...
Mount St. Helens: Still Erupting Lessons 31 Years Later The massive volcanic eruption of Mount St. Helens 31 years ago provided the perfect backdrop for studying the earliest stages of forest development. Immedia...
Evolution of natural and social science interactions in global change research programs Efforts to develop a global understanding of the functioning of the Earth as a system began in the mid-1980s. This effort necessitated linking knowledge from bo...
Palaeodata-informed modelling of large carbon losses from recent burning of boreal forests Wildfires play a key role in the boreal forest carbon cycle (1,2) , and models suggest that accelerated burning will increase boreal C emissions in the coming c...
