Title Description
When It Rains, It Pours Global Warming and the Increase in Extreme Precipitation from 1948 to 2011 Global warming is happening now and its effects are being felt in the United States and around the world. Among the expected consequences of global warming ...
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...
Analysing fossil-fuel displacement It is commonly assumed that fossil fuels can be replaced by alternative forms of energy. Now research challenges this assumption, and highlights the role of non...
Space observations of inland water bodies show rapid surface warming since 1985 Surface temperatures were extracted from nighttime thermal infrared imagery of 167 large inland water bodies distributed worldwide beginning in 1985 for the mon...
Elevation-dependent influence of snow accumulation on forest greening Rising temperatures and declining water availability have influenced the ecological function of mountain forests over the past half-century. For instance, warmi...
On the difference in the net ecosystem exchange of CO2 between deciduous and evergreen forests in the southeastern United States The southeastern United States is experiencing a rapid regional increase in the ratio of pine to deciduous forest ecosystems at the same time it is experiencing...
Economic growth and the human lot 1st paragraph: In 1974, Richard A. Easterlin, a coauthor of the work by Easterlin et al. (1) in PNAS, published a seminal article (2) that has generated a huge...
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...
Global change and the groundwater management challenge With rivers in critical regions already exploited to capacity throughout the world and ground- water overdraft as well as large-scale contamination occurring in...
Can a collapse of global civilization be avoided? Environmental problems have contributed to numerous collapses of civilizations in the past. ... But today, for the first time, humanity’s global civilization�...

Impacts of biofuel cultivation on mortality and crop yields Ground-level ozone is a priority air pollutant, causing ∼22,000 excess deaths per year in Europe1, significant reductions in crop yields2 and loss of biodiver...
Projecting Global Land-Use Change and Its Effect on Ecosystem Service Provision and Biodiversity with Simple Modelsf
Navigating the Anthropocene: Improving Earth System Governance The United Nations conference in Rio de Janeiro in June is an important opportunity to improve the institutional framework for sustainable development. VO...
T_Root-Local adaption.pdf
Approaching a state shift in Earth’s biosphere Localized ecological systems are known to shift abruptly and irreversibly from one state to another when they are forced across critical thresholds. Here we rev...
Genetic change for earlier migration timing in a pink salmon population To predict how climate change will influence populations, it is necessary to understand the mechanisms, particularly microevolution and phenotypic plasticity, t...
Biodiversity effects on ecosystem functioning change along environmental stress gradients Positive relationship between biodiversity and ecosystem functioning has been observed in many studies, but how this relationship is affected by environmental s...
Impacts of mountaintop mining on terrestrial ecosystem integrity: identifying landscape thresholds for avian species in the central Appalachians, United States Reclaimed mine-dominated landscapes (less forest and more grassland/shrubland cover) elicited more negative (57 %) than positive (39 %) species responses. Negat...
Are There Rebound Effects from Energy Efficiency? – An Analysis of Empirical Data, Internal Consistency, and Solutions Of the rigorously-framed hypotheses claiming that large negative rebounds exist, we measure them against the data, which refute the hypotheses. Rebounds at the ...
