Title Description
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 as Frontiers for Human Migration Causes of human population growth near protected areas have been much debated. We conducted 821 interviews in 16 villages around Budongo Forest Reserve, Masind...
Recovery of large carnivores in Europe’s modern human-dominated landscapes The conservation of large carnivores is a formidable challenge for biodiversity conservation. Using a data set on the past and current status of brown bears (Ur...
Microclimate moderates plant responses to macroclimate warming Recent global warming is acting across marine, freshwater, and terrestrial ecosystems to favor species adapted to warmer conditions and/or reduce the abundance ...
Management practices increase the impact of roads on plant communities in forests The question of the interaction between management practices and road effects on forest biodiversity is of critical interest for sustainable practices and the c...
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...
Eocene atmospheric CO2 from the nahcolite proxy Paleotemperature estimates from leaf fossils and fluid inclusions in halite suggest an upper limit for [CO2]atm in the EECO from the nahcolite proxy of ~1260 pp...
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...
Impacts of climate change on the future of biodiversity Many studies in recent years have investigated the effects of climate change on the future of biodiversity. In this review, we first examine the different possi...
Seasonal weather patterns drive population vital rates and persistence in a stream fish Here, we investigated effects of seasonal air temperature and precipitation (fall, winter, and spring) on survival and recruitment of brook trout (Salvelinus fo...
The Historical Dynamics of Socio-ecological Traps Environmental degradation is a typical unintended outcome of collective human behavior. Hardin’s metaphor of the ‘‘tragedy of the commons’’ has beco...
Marine Taxa Track Local Climate Velocities Organisms are expected to adapt or move in response to climate change, but observed distribution shifts span a wide range of directions and rates. Explanations...
Robust spatially aggregated projections of climate extremes Many climatic extremes are changing1–5, and decision-makers express a strong need for reliable information on further changes over the coming decades as a bas...
Shifts in Arctic vegetation and associated feedbacks under climate change Climate warming has led to changes in the composition, density and distribution of Arctic vegetation in recent decades1–4. These changes cause multiple opposi...
Physically based assessment of hurricane surge threat under climate change Storm surges are responsible for much of the damage and loss of life associated with landfalling hurricanes. Understanding how global warming will affect hurric...
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...
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...
Allowable carbon emissions lowered by multiple climate targets Climate targets are designed to inform policies that would limit the magnitude and impacts of climate change caused by anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse g...

Fragmentation and thermal risks from climate change interact to affect persistence of native trout in the Colorado River basin Impending changes in climate will interact with other stressors to threaten aquatic ecosystems and their biota. Native Colorado River cutthroat trout (CRCT; Onc...
