Title Description
Estimating the global conservation status of more than 15,000 Amazonian tree species Estimates of extinction risk for Amazonian plant and animal species are rare and not often incorporated into land-use policy and conservation planning. We overl...
Quantitative global analysis of the role of climate and people in explaining late Quaternary megafaunal extinctions The late Quaternary period saw the rapid extinction of the majority of the world’s terrestrial megafauna. The cause of these dramatic losses, especially the r...
Alleles underlying larval foraging behaviour influence adult dispersal in nature The dispersal and migration of organisms have resulted in the colonisation of nearly every possible habitat and ultimately the extraordinary diversity of life. ...
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...
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...
AGU: Human-induced climate change requires urgent action. 1st paragraph: concentrations of carbon dioxide and other heat-trapping greenhouse gases have increased sharply since the Industrial Revolution. Fossil fuel bur...

A paradigm shift in understanding and quantifying the effects of forest harvesting on floods in snow environments A well-established precept in forest hydrology is that any reduction of forest cover will always have a progressively smaller effect on floods with increasing r...

Autopsy of two mega-heatwaves Record-breaking heatwaves in 2003 and 2010 surprised both the public and experts. Observations provide new insights into how temperatures escalated to unprecede...
Predator-induced reduction of freshwater carbon dioxide emissions Predators can influence the exchange of carbon dioxide between ecosystems and the atmosphere by altering ecosys- tem processes such as decomposition and primary...
Transformational adaptation when incremental adaptations to climate change are insufficient All human–environment systems adapt to climate and its natural variation. Adaptation to human-induced change in climate has largely been envisioned as increme...
Worldwide evidence of a unimodal relationship between productivity and plant species richness The search for predictions of species diversity across environmental gradients has challenged ecologists for decades. The humped-back model (HBM) suggests that ...
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...
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...
Global water resources affected by human interventions and climate change Humans directly change the dynamics of the water cycle through dams constructed for water storage, and through water withdrawals for industrial, agricultural, o...
Biodiversity Risks from Fossil Fuel Extraction The overlapping of biodiverse areas and fossil fuel reserves indicates high-risk regions.
Human mining activity across the ages determines the genetic structure of modern brown trout (Salmo trutta L.) populations Humans have exploited the earth’s metal resources for thousands of years leaving behind a legacy of toxic metal contamination and poor water quality. The sout...
The impact of climate change on the structure of Pleistocene food webs across the mammoth steppe Species interactions form food webs, impacting community structure and, potentially, ecological dynamics. It is likely that global climatic perturbations that o...
Adaptation: Planning for Climate Change and Its Effects on Federal Lands National forest managers are charged with tackling the effects of climate change on the natural resources under their care. The Forest Service National Roadmap...
