Title Description
Forest disturbance across the conterminous United States from 1985–2012: The emerging dominance of forest decline Evidence of shifting dominance among major forest disturbance agent classes regionally to globally has been emerging in the literature. For example, climate-rel...
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 ...
Wild Pollinators Enhance Fruit Set of Crops Regardless of Honey Bee Abundance The diversity and abundance of wild insect pollinators have declined in many agricultural landscapes. Whether such declines reduce crop yields, or are mitigated...
Wild Pollinators Enhance Fruit Set of Crops Regardless of Honey Bee Abundance The diversity and abundance of wild insect pollinators have declined in many agricultural landscapes. Whether such declines reduce crop yields, or are mitigated...
What is the future of conservation? In recent years, some conservation biologists and con- servation organizations have sought to refocus the field of conservation biology by de-emphasizing the go...
Assessing potential climate change effects on vegetation using a linked model approach We developed a process that links the mechanistic power of dynamic global vegetation models with the detailed vegetation dynamics of state-and-transition models...
Carbon loss from an unprecedented Arctic tundra wildfire Arctic tundra soils store large amounts of carbon (C) in organic soil layers hundreds to thousands of years old that insulate, and in some cases maintain, perma...
Genetic signatures of a demographic collapse in a large-bodied forest dwelling primate It is difficult to predict how current climate change will affect wildlife species adapted to a tropical rainforest environment. Understanding how population dy...
A phantom road experiment reveals traffic noise is an invisible source of habitat degradation Decades of research demonstrate that roads impact wildlife and suggest traffic noise as a primary cause of population declines near roads. We created a “phant...
Landscape-scale carbon storage associated with beaver dams Beaver meadows form when beaver dams promote prolonged overbank flooding and floodplain retention of sediment and organic matter. Extensive beaver meadows fo...
DO CARBON OFFSETS WORK? THE ROLE OF FOREST MANAGEMENT IN GREENHOUSE GAS MITIGATION As forest carbon offset projects become more popular, professional foresters are providing their expertise to support them. But when several members of the Soci...
Carbon debt of Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) grasslands converted to bioenergy production Over 13 million ha of former cropland are enrolled in the US Conservation Reserve Program (CRP), providing well-recognized biodiversity, water quality, and carb...
Environment, vegetation and greenness (NDVI) along the North America and Eurasia Arctic transects Satellite-based measurements of the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI; an index of vegetation greenness and photosynthetic capacity) indicate that tu...
Untangling the confusion around land carbon science and climate change mitigation policy Depletion of ecosystem carbon stocks is a significant source of atmospheric CO2 and reducing land-based emissions and maintaining land carbon stocks contributes...
Protected areas facilitate species’ range expansions The benefits of protected areas (PAs) for biodiversity have been questioned in the context of climate change because PAs are static, whereas the distributions o...
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...
Higher Hydroclimatic Intensity with Global Warming Because of their dependence on water, natural and human systems are highly sensitive to changes in the hydrologic cycle. The authors introduce a new measure of ...
Sediment Trapping by Dams Creates Methane Emission Hot Spots Inland waters transport and transform sub- stantial amounts of carbon and account for ∼18% of global methane emissions. Large reservoirs with higher areal met...
Increasing soil methane sink along a 120-year afforestation chronosequence is driven by soil moisture Upland soils are important sinks for atmospheric methane (CH4), a process essentially driven by methanotrophic bacteria. Soil CH4 uptake often depends on land u...
The Historical Dynamics of Social–Ecological Traps Environmental degradation is a typical unintended outcome of collective human behavior. Hardin’s metaphor of the ‘‘tragedy of the commons’’ has become...
