Title Description

The challenge of hot drought 1st paragraph: rought is heating up around the warm- ing world. Particularly hot drought has cost more than US$40 billion and claimed 218 human lives since 2010...
Evolution of natural and social science interactions in global change research programs Efforts to develop a global understanding of the functioning of the Earth as a system began in the mid-1980s. This effort necessitated linking knowledge from bo...
The Global Plight of Pollinators Wild pollinators are in decline, and managed honeybees cannot compensate for their loss. 29 MARCH 2013 VOL 339 SCIENCE
Photoperiodic regulation of the seasonal pattern of photosynthetic capacity and the implications for carbon cycling Although temperature is an important driver of seasonal changes in photosynthetic physiology, photoperiod also regulates leaf activity. Climate change will exte...
Life history and spatial traits predict extinction risk due to climate change There is an urgent need to develop effective vulnerability assessments for evaluating the conservation status of species in a changing climate1. Several new ass...
Urban land teleconnections and sustainability This paper introduces urban land teleconnections as a conceptual framework that explicitly links land changes to underlying urbanization dynamics. We illustrate...
Status and Ecological Effects of the World’s Largest Carnivores The largest terrestrial species in the order Carnivora are wide-ranging and rare because of their positions at the top of food webs. They are some of the world...

Contrasting futures for ocean and society from different anthropogenic CO2 emissions scenarios The ocean moderates anthropogenic climate change at the cost of profound alterations of its physics, chemistry, ecology, and services. Here, we evaluate and com...
Newly discovered landscape traps produce regime shifts in wet forests We describe the “landscape trap” concept, whereby entire landscapes are shifted into, and then maintained (trapped) in, a highly compromised structural and ...
How does crop residue removal affect soil organic carbon and yield? A hierarchical analysis of management and environmental factors Our results suggest that crop residue removal is not recommended in tropical soils, particularly in coarse-textured ones, and in SOC-depleted soils in temperate...
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...
Heat stress related dairy cow mortality during heat waves and control periods in rural Southern Ontario from 2010–2012 Background: Heat stress is a physiological response to extreme environmental heat such as heat waves. Heat stress can result in mortality in dairy cows when ext...
Model projections of atmospheric steering of Sandy-like superstorms Superstorm Sandy ravaged the eastern seaboard of the United States, costing a great number of lives and billions of dollars in damage. Whether events like Sandy...
Don't Blame the Beetles Bark beetles have devastated western forests, but that may not mean more severe fires.
Emerging Techniques for Soil Carbon measurements Soil carbon sequestration is one approach to mitigate greenhouse gases. However, to reliably assess the quantities sequestered as well as the chemical structur...
The temperature response of soil microbial efficiency and its feedback to climate Soils are the largest repository of organic carbon (C) in the terrestrial biosphere and represent an important source of carbon dioxide (CO2)totheatmosphere,rel...
Aeolian process effects on vegetation communities in an arid grassland ecosystem Many arid grassland communities are changing from grass dominance to shrub dominance, but the mechanisms involved in this conversion process are not completely...
Statistically derived contributions of diverse human influences to twentieth-century temperature changes The warming of the climate system is unequivocal as evidenced by an increase in global temperatures by 0.8 ◦ C over the past century. However, the attribution...
