Title Description
BOTANY AND A CHANGING WORLD: INTRODUCTION TO THE SPECIAL ISSUE ON GLOBAL BIOLOGICAL CHANGE The impacts of global change have heightened the need to understand how organisms respond to and influence these changes. Can we forecast how change at the glob...
The Latest on Volcanic Eruptions and Climate 2nd paragraph: It is well known that large volcanic eruptions inject sulfur gases into the stratosphere, which convert to sulfate aerosols with a life- time of ...
On underestimation of global vulnerability to tree mortality and forest die-off from hotter drought in the Anthropocene Despite recent observational, experimental, and modeling studies suggesting increased vulnerability of trees to hotter drought and associated pests and pathogen...
On underestimation of global vulnerability to tree mortality and forest die-off from hotter drought in the Anthropocene Despite recent observational, experimental, and modeling studies suggesting increased vulnerability of trees to hotter drought and associated pests and pathogen...
T_Root-Local adaption.pdf
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 ...
The State of Greenhouse Gases in the Atmosphere Based on Global Observations through 2013 The WMO Global Atmosphere Watch (GAW) coordinates observations of the most important contributors to climate change: long-lived greenhouse gases(LLGHG). In the ...
Future collapse: how optimistic should we be? 1st paragraph: Prof. Kelly FRS is optimistic about the chances of avoiding a collapse, but sadly we find his arguments entirely unpersuasive. For example, have ...
The False Spring of 2012, Earliest in North American Record 2nd paragraph: As global climate warms, increasingly warmer springs may combine with the random climatological occurrence of advective freezes, which result fro...
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...
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...
The Global Plight of Pollinators Wild pollinators are in decline, and managed honeybees cannot compensate for their loss. 29 MARCH 2013 VOL 339 SCIENCE
Tree mortality from drought, insects, and their interactions in a changing climate Climate change is expected to drive increased tree mortality through drought, heat stress, and insect attacks, with manifold impacts on forest ecosystems. Yet, ...
The energetic implications of curtailing versus storing solar- and wind-generated electricity We present a theoretical framework to calculate how storage affects the energy return on energy investment (EROI) ratios of wind and solar resources. Our metho...
TRUST, CULTURE, AND COOPERATION: A Social Dilemma Analysis of Pro-Environmental Behaviors Social dilemmas require a choice between cooperation, or sacrificing for the greater good, and self-interest. One commonly studied social dilemma is environment...
The declining uptake rate of atmospheric CO2 by land and ocean sinks Through 1959–2012, an airborne fraction (AF) of 0.44 of total anthropogenic CO2 emissions remained in the atmosphere, with the rest being taken up by land and...
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 ...
Land use efficiency: anticipating future demand for land-sector greenhouse gas emissions abatement and managing trade-offs with agriculture, water, and biodiversity Competition for land is increasing, and policy needs to ensure the efficient supply of multiple ecosystem services from land systems. We modelled the spatially ...
Why a collapse of global civilization will be avoided: a comment on Ehrlich & Ehrlich 1st paragraph: Ehrlich FRS & Ehrlich [1] claim that over-population, over-consumption and the future climate mean that ‘preventing a global collapse of civili...
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...
