Title Description
Global change and conservation triage on National Wildlife Refuges National Wildlife Refuges (NWRs) in the United States play an important role in the adaptation of social-ecological systems to climate change, land-use change,...
Ecosystem carbon stocks and sequestration potential of federal lands across the conterminous United States Federal lands across the conterminous United States (CONUS) account for 23.5% of the CONUS terrestrial area but have received no systematic studies on their eco...
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...

Planetary boundaries: Guiding human development on a changing planet The planetary boundaries framework defines a safe operating space for humanity based on the intrinsic biophysical processes that regulate the stability of the E...
Indian-Set Fires in the Forests of the Northeastern United States The historical evidence for the Indians' burning the forests of the northeastern United Abstract. States is reevaluated. Of 35 documents that describe vegetati...
Planetary boundaries- Guidi.pdf
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...
Microhabitats in the tropics buffer temperature in a globally coherent manner Vegetated habitats contain a variety of fine-scale features that can ameliorate temperate extremes. These buffered microhabitats may be used by species to evade...
Multi-year drought-induced morbidity preceding tree death in Southeastern US forests Recent forest diebacks combined with threats of future drought focus attention on the extent to which tree death is caused by catastrophic events as opposed to ...
Livelihood resilience in the face of climate change The resilience concept requires greater attention to human livelihoods if it is to address the limits to adaptation strategies and the development needs of the ...
Mapping tree density at a global scale The global extent and distribution of forest trees is central to our understanding of the terrestrial biosphere. We provide the first spatially continuous map o...
Life history influences rates of climatic niche evolution in flowering plants Across angiosperms, variable rates of molecular substitution are linked with life-history attributes associ- ated with woody and herbaceous growth forms. As the...
Human domination of the biosphere: Rapid discharge of the earth-space battery foretells the future of humankind Earth is a chemical battery where, over evolutionary time with a trickle-charge of photosynthesis using solar energy, billions of tons of living biomass were st...
Temporal dynamics of a commensal network of cavity-nesting vertebrates: increased diversity during an insect outbreak Network analysis offers insight into the structure and function of ecological communities, but little is known about how empirical networks change over time du...
Adaptation: Planning for Climate Change and Its Effects on Federal Lands National forest managers are charged with tackling the effects of climate change on the natural resources under their care. The Forest Service National Roadmap...
Herb layer extinction debt in highly fragmented temperate forests – Completely paid after 160 years? The time-delayed extinction of plant species following habitat fragmentation is a well-known phenomenon in ecology. The length of the relaxation time until this...
Accounting for groundwater in stream fish thermal habitat responses to climate change Forecasting climate change effects on aquatic fauna and their habitat requires an understanding of how water temperature responds to changing air temperature (i...
Seeing the landscape for the trees: Metrics to guide riparian shade management in river catchments Rising water temperature (Tw) due to anthropogenic climate change may have serious conse- quences for river ecosystems. Conservation and/or expansion of riparia...
A Chinese cave links climate change, social impacts, and human adaptation over the last 500 years The collapse of some pre-historical and historical cultures, including Chinese dynasties were presumably linked to widespread droughts, on the basis of synchron...
