Title Description
Characterizing Fire-on-Fire interactions in three Large Wilderness areas The interaction of fires, where one fire burns into another recently burned area, is receiving increased attention from scientists and land managers wishing to ...
Assemblage Time Series Reveal Biodiversity Change but Not Systematic Loss The extent to which biodiversity change in local assemblages contributes to global biodiversity loss is poorly understood. We analyzed 100 time series from bio...
Reliability of Indicators of Decline in Abundance Although there are many indicators of endangerment (i.e., whether populations or species meet criteria that justify conservation action), their reliability has ...
Clone history shapes Populus drought responses Just as animal monozygotic twins can experience different environmental conditions by being reared apart, individual genetically identical trees of the genus Po...
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...
Spatially and temporally consistent prediction of heavy precipitation from mean values Extreme precipitation can cause flooding, result in substantial damages and have detrimental effects on ecosystems1,2. Climate adaptation must therefore account...
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...
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...
Continuous flux of dissolved black carbon from a vanished tropical forest biome Humans have used fire extensively as a tool to shape Earth’s vegetation. The slash-and-burn destruction of Brazil’s Atlantic forest, which once covered over...
Delayed phenology and reduced fitness associated with climate change in a wild hibernator The most commonly reported ecological effects of climate change are shifts in phenologies, in particular of warmer spring temperatures leading to earlier timing...
Predator-induced reduction of freshwater carbon dioxide emissions Predators can influence the exchange of carbon dioxide between ecosystems and the atmosphere by altering ecosys- tem processes such as decomposition and primary...
Pervasive Externalities at the Population, Consumption, and Environment Nexus Growing concerns that contemporary patterns of economic development are unsustainable have given rise to an extensive empirical literature on population growth,...
Forests fuel fish growth in freshwater deltas Aquatic ecosystems are fuelled by biogeochemical inputs from surrounding lands and within- lake primary production. Disturbances that change these inputs may af...
What can ecological science tell us about opportunities for carbon sequestration on arid rangelands in the United States? Scientific interest in carbon sequestration on rangelands is largely driven by their extent, while the interest of ranchers in the United States centers on oppo...
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...
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...
Probabilistic cost estimates for climate change mitigation For more than a decade, the target of keeping global warming below 2 6C has been a key focus of the international climate debate1. In response, the scientific c...
Regional variability in extinction thresholds for forest birds in the north-eastern United States: an examination of potential drivers using long-term breeding bird atlas datasets Main conclusions: Extinction threshold estimates varied tremendously across species and landscapes. Thus, habitat thresholds are difficult to generalize as they...
Climate change and tropical biodiversity: a new focus Considerable efforts are focused on the consequences of climate change for tropical rainforests. However, potentially the greatest threats to tropical biodivers...
Disturbance−diversity models: what do they really predict and how are they tested? The intermediate disturbance hypothesis (IDH) and the dynamic equilibrium model (DEM) are influential theories in ecology. The IDH predicts large species number...
