Title Description
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...
Bird Richness and Abundance in Response to Urban Form in a Latin American City There is mounting evidence that urban areas influence biodiversity. Generalizations how- ever require that multiple urban areas on multiple continents be examin...
Safe Havens, Safe Passages for Vulnerable Fish and Wildlife Some of the best-known and most-cherished mountains on Earth are set in the Canadian Rockies of British Columbia and Alberta. Indeed, the mention of Banff, Ja...
The Technology Path to Deep Greenhouse Gas Emissions Cuts by 2050: The Pivotal Role of Electricity Several states and countries have adopted targets for deep reductions in greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, but there has been little physically realistic modeli...
Genome diversity in wild grasses under environmental stress Patterns of diversity distribution in the Isa defense locus in wild- barley populations suggest adaptive selection at this locus. The extent to which environmen...
Sectoral contributions to surface water stress in the coterminous United States Here, we assess current stress in the freshwater system based on the best available data in order to understand possible risks and vulnerabilities to regional w...
Fragmentation and thermal risks from climate change interact to affect persistence of native trout in the Colorado River basin Impending changes in climate will interact with other stressors to threaten aquatic ecosystems and their biota. Native Colorado River cutthroat trout (CRCT; Onc...
Spatial aspects of tree mortality strongly differ between young and old-growth forests In young forests, mortality should be primarily density dependent due to competition for light, leading to an increasingly spatially uniform pattern of survivi...
Projections of Future Drought in the Continental United States and Mexico Using the Palmer drought severity index, the ability of 19 state-of-the-art climate models to reproduce ob- served statistics of drought over North America is e...
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...
Wildlife decline and social conflict Policies aimed at reducing wildlife-related conflict must address the underlying causes
Cumulative Effects of Fire and Fuels Management on Stream Water Quality and Ecosystem Dynamics Prescribed fires and wildland fire-use are increasingly important management tools used to reduce fuel loads and restore the ecological integrity of western for...
Five Stages of Climate Grief University of Montana Professor, climate scientist, and Nobel Peace Prize winner Steve W. Running has written about "The 5 Stages of Climate Grief." Modeled aft...
Ten years of vegetation assembly after a North American mega fire Altered fuels and climate change are transforming fire regimes in many of Earth’s biomes. Postfire reassembly of vegetation – paramount to C storage and bio...
Transforming Consumption: From Decoupling, to Behavior Change, to System Changes for Sustainable Consumption Consumption, although often considered an individual choice, is deeply ingrained in behaviors, cultures, and institutions, and is driven and supported by corpor...
Increase in forest water-use efficiency as atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations rise Terrestrial plants remove CO2 from the atmosphere through photo- synthesis, a process that is accompanied by the loss of water vapour from leaves1. The ratio of...
The Wheel of Life Food, Climate, Human Rights, and the Economy The links between climate change and industrial agriculture create a nexus of crises—food insecurity, natural resource depletion and degradation, as well as ...

Human land-use-driven reduction of forest volatiles cools global climate Human conversion of forest ecosystems to agriculture is a major driver of global change. Conventionally, the impacts of the historical cropland expansion on Ear...
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 cli...
