Title Description
First signs of carbon sink saturation in European forest biomass European forests are seen as a clear example of vegetation rebound in the Northern Hemisphere; recovering in area and growing stock since the 1950s, after centu...
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...
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...
Fear of failure in conservation: The problem and potential solutions to aid conservation of extremely small populations The potential for extirpation of extremely small populations (ESPs) is high due to their vulnerability to demographic and environmental stochasticity and negat...
Challenges of ecological restoration: Lessons from forests in northern Europe The alarming rate of ecosystem degradation has raised the need for ecological restoration throughout different biomes and continents. North European forests may...
1.5°C or 2°C: a conduit’s view from the science-policy interface at COP20 in Lima, Peru An average global 2°C warming compared to pre-industrial times is commonly understood as the most important target in climate policy negotiations. It is a temp...
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...
Biotic Drivers of Stream Planform: Implications for Understanding the Past and Restoring the Future Traditionally, stream channel planform has been viewed as a function of larger watershed and valley-scale physical variables, including valley slope, the amount...
The Holocene` Combining nine tree growth proxies from four sites, from the west coast of Norway to the Kola Peninsula of NW Russia, provides a well replicated (> 100 annua...
Saturation-state sensitivity of marine bivalve larvae to ocean acidification Ocean acidification results in co-varying inorganic carbon system variables. Of these, an explicit focus on pH and organismal acid–base regulation has failed ...
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...
Future temperature in southwest Asia projected to exceed a threshold for human adaptability A human body may be able to adapt to extremes of dry-bulb temperature (commonly referred to as simply temperature) through perspiration and associated evaporati...

Climate Change and Existing Law: A Survey of Legal Issues Past, Present, and Future Summary: This report surveys existing law for legal issues that have arisen, or may arise in the future, on account of climate change and government responses t...
Identifying the World’s Most Climate Change Vulnerable Species: A Systematic Trait-Based Assessment of all Birds, Amphibians and Corals Climate change will have far-reaching impacts on biodiversity, including increasing extinction rates. Current approaches to quantifying such impacts focus on me...
WHY FORESTS ARE PIVOTAL IN PLANNING FOR CLIMATE CHANGE 17 slides show carbon-forest relationships including logging and carbon in US forests
The Historical Dynamics of Socio-ecological Traps Environmental degradation is a typical unintended outcome of collective human behavior. Hardin’s metaphor of the ‘‘tragedy of the commons’’ has beco...

Fire and Fish Dynamics in a Changing Climate: Broad- and Local-Scale Effects of Fire-Induced Water Temperature Changes on Native and Nonnative Fish Communities Fire is a key natural disturbance that affects the distribution and abundance of native fishes in the Rocky Mountain West. In the absence of migratory individua...
Life history and spatial traits predict extinction risk due to climate change There is an urgent need to develop effective vulnerability assessments for evaluating the conservation status of species in a changing climate1. Several new ass...
