Title Description
Green-up dates in the Tibetan Plateau have continuously advanced from 1982 to 2011 As the Earth’s third pole, the Tibetan Plateau has experienced a pronounced warming in the past decades. Recent studies reported that the start of the vegetat...
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...
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...
Mineral soil carbon fluxes in forests and implications for carbon balance assessments Forest carbon cycles play an important role in efforts to understand and mitigate climate change. Large amounts of carbon (C) are stored in deep mineral forest ...
What Every Conservation Biologist Should Know about Human Population EDITORIAL:CONCLUDING PARAGRAPH: As with population issues, conservation biologists should ensure that we, as individuals and a professional society, understand...
An extreme climatic event alters marine ecosystem structure in a global biodiversity hotspot Extreme climatic events, such as heat waves, are predicted to increase in frequency and magnitude as a consequence of global warming but their ecological effect...
Too late for two degrees? Low carbon economy index 2012 Even doubling our current rate of decarbonisation would still lead to emissions consistent with 6 degrees of warming by the end of the century. To give ourselv...
SOME REFLECTIONS ON CLIMATE CHANGE, GREEN GROWTH ILLUSIONS AND DEVELOPMENT SPACE Many economists and policy makers advocate a fundamental shift towards “green growth” as the new, qualitatively-different growth paradigm, based on enhanced...
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...
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...
Challenges of ecological restoration: Lessons from forests in northern Europe The alarming rate of ecosystem degradation has raised the need for ecological restoration throughout different biomes and continents. North European forests may...
How global extinctions impact regional biodiversity in mammals Phylogenetic diversity (PD) represents the evol- utionary history of a species assemblage and is a valuable measure of biodiversity because it cap- tures not on...
Seeds of Change for Restoration Ecology FORESTS PROVIDE A WIDE VARIETY OF ECOSYSTEM SERVICES, INCLUDING PROVISIONS SUCH AS food and fuel and services that affect climate and water quality (1). In lig...
Extreme climatic event drives range contraction of a habitat-forming species Species distributions have shifted in response to global warming in all major ecosystems on the Earth. Despite cogent evidence for these changes, the underlying...
Predicting satellite-derived patterns of large-scale disturbances in forests of the Pacific Northwest Region in response to recent climatic variation Across the Pacific Northwest, the climate between 1950 and 1975 was exceptionally cool and wet compared with more recent conditions (1995–2005). We reasoned ...
Toward an Era of Restoration in Ecology: Successes, Failures, and Opportunities Ahead Keywords resilience, ecosystem restoration, restoration ecology, recovery, degradation, ecosystem services, environmental change, novel ecosystems Abstract A...
When It Rains, It Pours Global Warming and the Increase in Extreme Precipitation from 1948 to 2011 Global warming is happening now and its effects are being felt in the United States and around the world. Among the expected consequences of global warming ...
Predicting ecosystem shifts requires new approaches that integrate the effects of climate change across entire systems Most studies that forecast the ecological conse- quences of climate change target a single species and a single life stage. Depending on climatic impacts on oth...
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...
Impacts of Climate Change on Biodiversity, Ecosystems, and Ecosystem Services Technical Input to the 2013 National Climate Assessment KEY FINDINGS Biodiversity and ecosystems are already more stressed than at any comparable period of human history. Climate change almost always exacerbates the...
