TRY – a global database of plant traits Plant traits – the morphological, anatomical, physiological, biochemical and phenological characteristics of plants and their organs – determine how primar...
Gus Speth: Communicating environmental risks in an age of disinformation Once described as "the consummate environmental insider," Gus Speth, co-founder of the Natural Resources Defense Council, says that green organizations, politic...
A LIDAR‐DERIVED EVALUATION OF WATERSHED‐SCALE LARGE WOODY DEBRIS SOURCES AND RECRUITMENT MECHANISMS: COASTAL MAINE, USA In‐channel large woody debris (LWD) promotes quality aquatic habitat through sediment sorting, pool scouring and in‐stream nutrient retention and transport....
Physical Laws Shape Biology IN THE PERSPECTIVE “A DYNAMICAL-SYSTEMS VIEW OF STEM CELL biology” (12 October 2012, p. 215), C. Furusawa and K. Kaneko discuss the relevance of dynamic s...
Historical legacies accumulate to shape future biodiversity in an era of rapid global change Main conclusions : The failure to give adequate consideration to widespread cumulative time-lags often masks the full extent of biodiversity changes that have a...
A long-term perspective on a modern drought in the American Southeast The depth of the 2006–9 drought in the humid, southeastern US left several metropolitan areas with only a 60–120 day water supply. To put the region’s re...
Climate Outlook Looking Much The Same, or Even Worse Climate scientists have been feverishly preparing analyses for inclusion in the fifth climate assessment report (AR5) of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate ...
Reconciling nature conservation and traditional farming practices: a spatially explicit framework to assess the extent of High Nature Value farmlands in the European countryside Over past centuries, European landscapes have been shaped by human management. Traditional, low intensity agricultural practices, adapted to local climatic, geo...
Adaptive management of biological systems: A review Adaptive Management (AM) is widely considered to be the best available approach for managing biolog- ical systems in the presence of uncertainty. But AM has arg...
Characterizing coal and mineral mines as a regional source of stress to stream fish assemblages Mining impacts on stream systems have historically been studied over small spatial scales, yet investigations over large areas may be useful for characterizing ...

Wildfire and fuel treatment effects on forest carbon dynamics in the western United States Sequestration of carbon (C) in forests has the potential to mitigate the effects of climate change by offsetting future emissions of greenhouse gases. However,...
Distribution and characterization of in‐channel large wood in relation to geomorphic patterns on a low‐gradient river A 177 river km georeferenced aerial survey of in‐channel large wood (LW) on the lower Roanoke River, NC was conducted to determine LW dynamics and distributio...
Regional carbon dioxide implications of forest bioenergy production Strategies for reducing carbon dioxide emissions include substitution of fossil fuel with bioenergy from forests1, where carbon emitted is expected to be recapt...

Thermal legacies: transgenerational effects of temperature on growth in a vertebrate Transgenerational plasticity (TGP), a generalisation of more widely studied maternal effects, occurs whenever environmental cues experienced by either parent pr...
Wildfire, Wildlands, and People: Understanding and Preparing for Wildfire in the Wildland-Urban Interface: Gen. Tech. Rep. RMRS-GTR-299. Fort Collins, CO. U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Rocky Mountain Research Station. 36 p. Fire has historically played a fundamental ecological role in many of America’s wildland areas. However, the rising number of homes in the wildland-urban inte...
Human Evolution Out of Africa: The Role of Refugia and Climate Change Although an African origin of the modern human species is generally accepted, the evolutionary processes involved in the speciation, geographical spread, and e...
Drought in the United States: Causes and Issues for Congress Drought is a natural hazard with often significant societal, economic, and environmental consequences. Public policy issues related to drought range from how to...
