Title Description
First signs of carbon sink saturation in European forest biomass European forests are seen as a clear example of vegetation rebound in the Northern Hemisphere; recovering in area and growing stock since the 1950s, after centu...
Soil organic matter turnover is governed by accessibility not recalcitrance Mechanisms to mitigate global climate change by sequestering carbon (C) in different ‘sinks’ have been proposed as at least temporary measures. Of the major...
Impact of reduced Arctic sea ice on Greenland ice sheet variability in a warmer than present climate A global climate model with interactive vegetation and a coupled ice sheet-shelf component is used to test the response of the Greenland ice sheet (GIS) to incr...

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...
CONSERVATION EASEMENTS AT THE CLIMATE CHANGE CROSSROADS This article examines the conundrum that occurs when climate change leads to a landscape that conflicts with conservation easement terms. In facing the challeng...
Vulnerability of terrestrial island vertebrates to projected sea-level rise Sea-level rise (SLR) from global warming may have severe consequences for biodiversity; however, a baseline, broad- scale assessment of the potential consequenc...
Global Cooling by Grassland Soils of the Geological Past and Near Future Keywords grass, mammal, coevolution, paleosol, paleoclimate, carbon sequestration, albedo Abstract Major innovations in the evolution of vegetation such as t...
Wildfire, Wildlands, and People: Understanding and Preparing for Wildfire in the Wildland-Urban Interface: Gen. Tech. Rep. RMRS-GTR-299. Fort Collins, CO. U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Rocky Mountain Research Station. 36 p. Fire has historically played a fundamental ecological role in many of America’s wildland areas. However, the rising number of homes in the wildland-urban inte...
Protected areas facilitate species’ range expansions The benefits of protected areas (PAs) for biodiversity have been questioned in the context of climate change because PAs are static, whereas the distributions o...
Migrating Like a Herd of Cats: Climate Change and Emerging Forests in British Columbia We combine climate tolerances of tree species with probable changes in insect, disease, fire, and other abiotic factors to describe probable changes in distribu...
Social Science at the Wildland-Urban Interface: a Compendium of Research Results to Create Fire-Adapted Communities Over the past decade, a growing body of research has been conducted on the human dimensions of wildland fire. Building on a relatively small number of foundatio...
Climate change and the world economy: short-run determinants of atmospheric CO2 Volcanic eruptions, the El Nin ̃ o Southern oscillation (ENSO), world population, and the world economy are the four variables usually discussed as influencing...
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...
Are conservation organizations configured for effective adaptation to global change? Conservation organizations must adapt to respond to the ecological impacts of global change. Numerous changes to conservation actions (eg facilitated ecologica...
Bias in the attribution of forest carbon sinks A substantial fraction of the terrestrial carbon sink, past and present, may be incorrectly attributed to environmental change rather than changes in forest man...
Point of No Return :The massive climate threats we must avoid The world is quickly reaching a Point of No Return for preventing the worst impacts of climate change. Continuing on the current course will make it difficult, ...
The Technology Path to Deep Greenhouse Gas Emissions Cuts by 2050: The Pivotal Role of Electricity Several states and countries have adopted targets for deep reductions in greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, but there has been little physically realistic modeli...

The False Spring of 2012, Earliest in North American Record 2nd paragraph: As global climate warms, increasingly warmer springs may combine with the random climatological occurrence of advective freezes, which result fro...
