Title Description
Effects of tree mortality caused by a bark beetle outbreak on the ant community in the San Bernardino National Forest Ants are used as bioindicators of the effects of disturbance on ecosystems for several reasons. First, ants are generally responsive to alteration of the biomas...
Quantifying the benefit of early climate change mitigation in avoiding biodiversity loss Climate change is expected to have significant influences on terrestrial biodiversity at all system levels, including species-level reductions in range size and...
Comment: Time to Model all Life on Earth To help transform our understanding of the biosphere, ecologists — like climate scientists — should simulate whole ecosystems, argue Drew Purves and colleag...
Area–heterogeneity tradeoff and the diversity of ecological communities For more than 50 y ecologists have believed that spatial heterogeneity in habitat conditions promotes species richness by increasing opportunities for niche par...
Carbon Market Lessons and Global Policy Outlook Summary: Ongoing work on linking markets and mixing policies builds on successes and failures in pricing and trading carbon. Closing sentence, 1st paragraph: Ar...
Impact of ocean acidification on the structure of future phytoplankton communities Phytoplankton form the foundation of the marine food web and regulate key biogeochemical processes. These organisms face multiple environmental changes1, includ...
Using and improving the social cost of carbon: Regular, institutionalized updating and review are essential The social cost of carbon (SCC) is a crucial tool for economic analysis of climate policies. The SCC estimates the dollar value of reduced climate change damage...
Allometry of thermal variables in mammals: consequences of body size and phylogeny A large number of analyses have examined how basal metabolic rate (BMR) is affected by body mass in mammals. By contrast, the critical ambient temperatures that...
Growing feedback from ocean carbon to climate The finding that feedbacks between the ocean’s carbon cycle and climate may become larger than terrestrial carbon–climate feedbacks has implications for th...
Long-term census data reveal abundant wildlife populations at Chernobyl Relative abundances of elk, roe deer, red deer and wild boar within the Chernobyl exclusion zone are similar to those in four (uncontaminated) nature reserves ...
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...
The global volume and distribution of modern groundwater Groundwater is important for energy and food security, human health and ecosystems. The time since groundwater was recharged—or groundwater age—can be impor...

Comment: The end of cheap coal New forecasts suggest that coal reserves will run out faster than many believe. Energy policies relying on cheap coal have no future, say Richard Heinberg and D...

When the river runs dry: human and ecological values of dry riverbeds Temporary rivers and streams that naturally cease to flow and dry up can be found on every continent. Many other water courses that were once perennial now als...
A megacity in a changing climate: the case of Kolkata Projections by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change suggest that there will be an increase in the frequency and intensity of climate extremes in the 21...
Reducing Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Deforestation and ForestDegradation: Global Land-Use Implications Recent climate talks in Bali have made progress toward action on deforestation and forest degradation in developing countries, within the anticipated post-Kyot...
Managing the whole landscape: historical, hybrid, and novel ecosystems The reality confronting ecosystem managers today is one of heterogeneous, rapidly transforming landscapes, particularly in the areas more affected by urban and ...
Fluvial landscapes of the Harappan civilization The collapse of the Bronze Age Harappan, one of the earliest urban civilizations, remains an enigma. Urbanism flourished in the western region of the Indo-Gange...
