Title Description
Dramatically increasing chance of extremely hot summers since the 2003 European heatwave Socio-economic stress from the unequivocal warming of the global climate system(1)could be mostly felt by societies through weather and climate extremes (2). Th...
Conservation in a social-ecological system experiencing climate-induced tree mortality We present a social-ecological framework to provide insight into climate adaptation strategies and diverse perspectives on interventions in protected areas for ...
Four-year response of underplanted American chestnut (Castanea dentata) and three competitors to midstory removal, root trenching, and weeding treatments in an oak-hickory forest American chestnut (Castanea dentata) has been killed or reduced to recurrent stump sprouts throughout its range following the importation of multiple pathogens ...
Achievable future conditions as a framework for guiding forest conservation and management We contend that traditional approaches to forest conservation and management will be inadequate given the predicted scale of social-economic and biophysical cha...

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...
Autopsy of two mega-heatwaves Record-breaking heatwaves in 2003 and 2010 surprised both the public and experts. Observations provide new insights into how temperatures escalated to unprecede...
Stop misuse of biodiversity offsets Governments should not meet existing conservation targets using the compensation that developers pay for damaging biodiversity, say Martine Maron and colleagues...
Human land-use-driven reduction of forest volatiles cools global climate Human conversion of forest ecosystems to agriculture is a major driver of global change. Conventionally, the impacts of the historical cropland expansion on Ear...
Untangling human and environmental effects on geographical gradients of mammal species richness: a global and regional evaluation 1. Different hypotheses (geographical, ecological, evolutionary or a combination of them) have been suggested to account for the spatial variation in species ri...
EPA and the Army Corps’ Proposed Rule to Define “Waters of the United States” Excerpt from summary : According to the agencies, the proposed rule would revise the existing regulatory definition of “waters of the United States” consist...
Wildlife decline and social conflict Policies aimed at reducing wildlife-related conflict must address the underlying causes
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...
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...
Reform forest fire management: Agency incentives undermine policy effectiveness Globally, wildfire size, severity, and frequency have been increasing, as have related fatalities and taxpayer- funded firefighting costs (1). In most accessibl...
Physiological plasticity increases resilience of ectothermic animals to climate change Understanding how climate change affects natural populations remains one of the greatest challenges for ecology and management of natural resources. Animals can...

Impacts in the third dimension Despite reports of no trends in snow- and rainfall, rivers in the northwest USA have run lower and lower in recent decades. A closer look at high- and low-altit...
Scenarios of future land use change around United States’ protected areas Land use change around protected areas can diminish their conservation value, making it important to predict future land use changes nearby. Our goal was to ev...
National post-2020 greenhouse gas targets and diversity-aware leadership Achieving the collective goal of limiting warming to below 2 ◦ C or 1.5 ◦ C compared to pre-industrial levels requires a transition towards a fully decarbon...
