Title Description
Is Embracing Change Our Best Bet? Restoration ecology and conservation biology are both under pressure to adapt to accelerated anthropogenic global change. Pristine areas free from human inf...
Allometry of thermal variables in mammals: consequences of body size and phylogeny A large number of analyses have examined how basal metabolic rate (BMR) is affected by body mass in mammals. By contrast, the critical ambient temperatures that...
The timing of climate change An innovative assessment of climate change calculates the year in which ongoing warming will surpass the limits of historical climate variability. Three experts...
Ten years of vegetation assembly after a North American mega fire Altered fuels and climate change are transforming fire regimes in many of Earth’s biomes. Postfire reassembly of vegetation – paramount to C storage and bio...

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...
Barking up the Wrong Tree? Forest Sustainability in the wake of Emerging Bioenergy Policies The spotted owl controversy revealed that federal forest management policies alone could not guarantee functioning forest ecosystems. At the same time as the ow...
The cold-water climate shield: delineating refugia for preserving salmonid fishes through the 21st century The distribution and future fate of ectothermic organisms in a warming world will be dictated by thermal-scapes across landscapes. That is particularly true for...
What Does Zero Deforestation Mean? Ambiguous defi nitions and metrics create risks for forest conservation and accountability. SCIENCE VOL 342
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...
A Reconstruction of Regional and Global Temperature for the Past 11,300 Years Surface temperature reconstructions of the past 1500 years suggest that recent warming is unprecedented in that time. Here we provide a broader perspective by ...
Investment, transformation and leadership CDP S&P 500 Climate Change Report 2013 On behalf of 722 investors representing US$87 trillion in assets Sample text : Fears are increasing over future climate change impacts as we see more extreme weather events, Hurricane Sandy the most noted with damages totall...
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...
Long-term aspen cover change in the western US Quaking aspen (Populus tremuloides Michx.) is one of the most important tree species in the western United States due to its role in biodiversity, tourism, and ...
Editorial: The “New Conservation” EDITORIAL: OPENING PARAGRAPHS A powerful but chimeric movement is rapidly gaining recognition and supporters. Christened the “new conservation,” it promotes...
Transforming Consumption: From Decoupling, to Behavior Change, to System Changes for Sustainable Consumption Consumption, although often considered an individual choice, is deeply ingrained in behaviors, cultures, and institutions, and is driven and supported by corpor...
Enhanced Seasonal Exchange of CO2 by Northern Ecosystems Since 1960 Seasonal variations of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) in the Northern Hemisphere have increased since the 1950s, but sparse observations have prevented a clea...
Competitive and demographic leverage points of community shifts under climate warming Accelerating rates of climate change and a paucity of whole-community studies of climate impacts limit our ability to forecast shifts in ecosystem structure and...
