Title Description
How complex do models need to be to predict dispersal of threatened species through matrix habitats? Persistence of species in fragmented landscapes depends on dispersal among suitable breeding sites, and dispersal is often influenced by the ‘‘matrix’’ ...
The elephant, the blind, and the intersectoral intercomparison of climate impacts 1st paragraph: When decision makers discuss anthropogenic climate change, they often ignore the mighty elephant in the room, namely the question of what global ...
How does climate change influence demographic processes of widespread species? Lessons from the comparative analysis of contrasted populations of roe deer How populations respond to climate change depends on the interplay between life history, resource avail- ability, and the intensity of the change. Roe deer are ...
From sink to source: Regional variation in U.S. forest carbon futures The sequestration of atmospheric carbon (C) in forests has partially offset C emissions in the United States (US) and might reduce overall costs of achieving em...
The floodplain large-wood cycle hypothesis: A mechanism for the physical and biotic structuring of temperate forested alluvial valleys in the North Pacific coastal ecoregion A ‘floodplain large-wood cycle’ is hypothesized as a mechanism for generating landforms and influencing river dynamics in ways that structure and maintain r...

Modeling sediment accumulation in North American playa wetlands in response to climate change, 1940–2100 Playa wetlands on the west-central Great Plains of North America are vulnerable to sediment infilling from upland agriculture, putting at risk several important...
Commentary: The climate policy narrative for a dangerously warming world It is time to acknowledge that global average temperatures are likely to rise above the 2 °C policy target and consider how that deeply troubling prospect shou...
Enhanced Seasonal Exchange of CO2 by Northern Ecosystems Since 1960 Seasonal variations of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) in the Northern Hemisphere have increased since the 1950s, but sparse observations have prevented a clea...
Water-controlled wealth of nations Population growth is in general constrained by food production, which in turn depends on the access to water resources. At a country level, some populations use...
Soil food web properties explain ecosystem services across European land use systems Intensive land use reduces the diversity and abundance of many soil biota, with consequences for the processes that they govern and the ecosystem services that ...
Limits to adaptation An actor-centered, risk-based approach to defining limits to social adaptation provides a useful analytic framing for identifying and anticipating these limits ...
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...
Downstream Warming and Headwater Acidity May Diminish Coldwater Habitat in Southern Appalachian Mountain Streams Stream-dwelling species in the U.S. southern Appalachian Mountains region are particularly vulnerable to climate change and acidification. The objectives of thi...
Global shifts towards positive species interactions with increasing environmental stress The study of positive species interactions is a rapidly evolving field in ecology. Despite decades of research, controversy has emerged as to whether positive a...
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...
Tree spatial patterns in fire-frequent forests of western North America, including mechanisms of pattern formation and implications for designing fuel reduction and restoration treatments Restoring characteristic fire regimes and forest structures are central objectives of many restoration and fuel reduction projects. Within-stand spatial pattern...
Global change and conservation triage on National Wildlife Refuges National Wildlife Refuges (NWRs) in the United States play an important role in the adaptation of social-ecological systems to climate change, land-use change,...
Habitat fragmentation and its lasting impact on Earth’s ecosystems We conducted an analysis of global forest cover to reveal that 70% of remaining forest is within 1 km of the forest’s edge, subject to the degrading effects o...
Desert grassland responses to climate and soil moisture suggest divergent vulnerabilities across the southwestern United States Climate change predictions include warming and drying trends, which are expected to be particularly pronounced in the southwestern United States. In this region...
