Title Description
Formation of soil organic matter via biochemical and physical pathways of litter mass loss Soil organic matter is the largest terrestrial carbon pool (1). The pool size depends on the balance between formation of soil organic matter from decomposition...
Solar energy development impacts on land cover change and protected areas Decisions determining the use of land for energy are of exigent concern as land scarcity, the need for ecosystem services, and demands for energy generation hav...

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 well-know...
Wild Pollinators Enhance Fruit Set of Crops Regardless of Honey Bee Abundance The diversity and abundance of wild insect pollinators have declined in many agricultural landscapes. Whether such declines reduce crop yields, or are mitigated...
Warming caused by cumulative carbon emissions towards the trillionth tonne We find that the peak warming caused by a given cumulative carbon dioxide emission is better constrained than the warming response to a stabilization scenario. ...

Old Trees: Extraction, Conservation Can Coexist BECAUSE LARGE OLD TREES ARE ESSENTIAL FOR FOREST ECOSYSTEM INTEGRITY AND BIODIVERsity, timber extraction in managed forests should preferentially be concentrat...
Highly episodic fire and erosion regime over the past 2,000 y in the Siskiyou Mountains, Oregon Fire is a primary mode of natural disturbance in the forests of the Pacific Northwest. Increased fuel loads following fire suppression and the occurrence of sev...
Landscape-scale carbon storage associated with beaver dams Beaver meadows form when beaver dams promote prolonged overbank flooding and floodplain retention of sediment and organic matter. Extensive beaver meadows fo...
Warming caused by cumulative carbon emissions towards the trillionth tonne Global efforts to mitigate climate change are guided by projections of future temperatures1. But the eventual equilibrium global mean temperature associated wit...
Forests fuel fish growth in freshwater deltas Aquatic ecosystems are fuelled by biogeochemical inputs from surrounding lands and within- lake primary production. Disturbances that change these inputs may af...
Strong increase in convective precipitation in response to higher temperatures Precipitation changes can affect society more directly than variations in most other meteorological observables1–3, but precipitation is difficult to characte...
Medieval warming initiated exceptionally large wildfire outbreaks in the Rocky Mountains Many of the largest wildfires in US history burned in recent decades, and climate change explains much of the increase in area burned. The frequency of extreme ...
From plant to power Petrol might yet survive the green revolution. Some investors are taking seriously the con- cept of ‘green gasoline’ — transforming the woody remains of p...
Relationships of Fire and Precipitation Regimes in Temperate Forests of the Eastern United States Fire affects virtually all terrestrial ecosystems but occurs more commonly in some than in others. This paper investigates how climate, specifically the moistur...
Quantifying the benefit of early climate change mitigation in avoiding biodiversity loss Climate change is expected to have significant influences on terrestrial biodiversity at all system levels, including species-level reductions in range size and...
Higher Hydroclimatic Intensity with Global Warming Because of their dependence on water, natural and human systems are highly sensitive to changes in the hydrologic cycle. The authors introduce a new measure of ...
Impacts in the third dimension Despite reports of no trends in snow- and rainfall, rivers in the northwest USA have run lower and lower in recent decades. A closer look at high- and low-altit...
Satellite-based global-ocean mass balance estimates of interannual variability and emerging trends in continental freshwater discharge Freshwater discharge from the continents is a key component of Earth’s water cycle that sustains human life and ecosystem health. Surprisingly, owing to a num...
