Title Description
Predicting a change in the order of spring phenology in temperate forests The rise in spring temperatures over the past half-century has led to advances in the phenology of many nontropical plants and animals. As species and populatio...
Influence of different tree-harvesting intensities on forest soil carbon stocks in boreal and northern temperate forest ecosystems
Observational evidence for soil-moisture impact on hot extremes in southeastern Europe Climate change is expected to affect not only the means of climatic variables, but also their variabilities1,2 and extremes such as heat waves2–6. In particul...
Experimental studies of dead-wood biodiversity — A review identifying global gaps in knowledge The importance of dead wood for biodiversity is widely recognized but strategies for conservation exist only in some regions worldwide. Most strategies combine ...
Forecasting the response of Earth’s surface to future climatic and land use changes: A review of methods and research needs In the future, Earth will be warmer, precipitation events will be more extreme, global mean sea level will rise, and many arid and semiarid regions will be dri...
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...
Eocene atmospheric CO2 from the nahcolite proxy Paleotemperature estimates from leaf fossils and fluid inclusions in halite suggest an upper limit for [CO2]atm in the EECO from the nahcolite proxy of ~1260 pp...
Cross-scale impact of climate temporal variability on ecosystem water and carbon fluxes While the importance of ecosystem functioning is undisputed in the context of climate change and Earth system modeling, the role of short-scale temporal variabi...
Animal migration amid shifting patterns of phenology and predation: lessons from a Yellowstone elk herd Migration is a striking behavioral strategy by which many animals enhance resource acquisition while reducing predation risk. Historically, the demographic bene...
Experimental climate change weakens the insurance effect of biodiversity Ecosystems are simultaneously affected by biodiversity loss and climate change, but we know little about how these factors interact. We predicted that climate w...
Response of snow-dependent hydrologic extremes to continued global warming Snow accumulation is critical for water availability in the Northern Hemisphere 1,2, raising concern that global warming could have important impacts on natural...
Physically based assessment of hurricane surge threat under climate change Storm surges are responsible for much of the damage and loss of life associated with landfalling hurricanes. Understanding how global warming will affect hurric...
Climate change and the invasion of California by grasses Over the next century, changes in the global climate are expected to have major consequences for plant communities, possibly including the exacerbation of speci...
A LIDAR‐DERIVED EVALUATION OF WATERSHED‐SCALE LARGE WOODY DEBRIS SOURCES AND RECRUITMENT MECHANISMS: COASTAL MAINE, USA In‐channel large woody debris (LWD) promotes quality aquatic habitat through sediment sorting, pool scouring and in‐stream nutrient retention and transport....
A reality check on the shale revolution The production of shale gas and oil in the United States is overhyped and the costs are underestimated, says J. David Hughes.
On the vapour trail of an atmospheric imprint in insects Terrestrial arthropods, at constant risk from desiccation, are highly sensitive to atmospheric temperature and humidity. A physiological marker of these abiotic...
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, ...
Public land, timber harvests, and climate mitigation: Quantifying carbon sequestration potential on U.S. public timberlands Scientists and policy makers have long recognized the role that forests can play in countering the atmospheric buildup of carbon dioxide (CO2), a greenhouse gas...

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...
