Observational evidence for soil-moisture impact on hot extremes in southeastern Europe
|
Climate change is expected to affect not only the means of climatic variables, but also their variabilities1,2 and extremes such as heat waves2–6. In particul... |

Contemporary ocean warming and freshwater conditions are related to later sea age at maturity in Atlantic salmon spawning in Norwegian rivers
|
Atlantic salmon populations are reported to be declining throughout its range, raising major management concerns. Variation in adult fish abundance may be due t... |

Wildlife-friendly farming increases crop yield: evidence for ecological intensification
|
Ecological intensification has been promoted as a means to achieve environmentally sustainable increases in crop yields by enhancing ecosystem functions that re... |

Changes in forest productivity across Alaska consistent with biome shift
|
Global vegetation models predict that boreal forests are particularly sensitive to a biome shift during the 21st century. This shift would manifest itself first... |

Carbon debt and carbon sequestration parity in forest bioenergy production
|
The capacity for forests to aid in climate change mitigation efforts is substantial but will ultimately depend on their management. If forests remain unharveste... |

On the forest cover–water yield debate: from demand- to supply-side thinking
|
Several major articles from the past decade and beyond conclude the impact of reforestation or afforestation on water yield is negative: additional forest cover... |

Plant-Pollinator Interactions over 120 Years: Loss of Species, Co-Occurrence, and Function
|
Using historic data sets, we quantified the degree to which global change over 120 years disrupted plant-pollinator interactions in a temperate forest understor... |

Key role of symbiotic dinitrogen fixation in tropical forest secondary succession
|
Forests contribute a significant portion of the land carbon sink, but their ability to sequester CO2 may be constrained by nitrogen 1–6, a major plant-limitin... |

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... |

Animal migration amid shifting patterns of phenology and predation: lessons from a Yellowstone elk herd
|
Migration is a striking behavioral strategy by which many animals enhance resource acquisition while reducing predation risk. Historically, the demographic bene... |
