Title Description
Urban land teleconnections and sustainability This paper introduces urban land teleconnections as a conceptual framework that explicitly links land changes to underlying urbanization dynamics. We illustrate...
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...
Phylogenetic and functional diversity in large carnivore assemblages Large terrestrial carnivores are important ecological components and promi- nent flagship species, but are often extinction prone owing to a combination of biol...
Seasonal Neighbors: Residential Development Encroaches on Mule Deer Winter Range in Central Oregon Mule deer populations in central Oregon are in decline, largely because of habitat loss. Several factors are likely contributors. Encroaching juniper and inv...
A BURDEN BEYOND BEARING The climate situation may be even worse than you think. In the first of three features, Richard Monastersky looks at evidence that keeping carbon dioxide beneat...
Thinking Big: Linking Rivers to Landscapes Exploring relationships between landscape characteristics and rivers is an emerging field of study, bolstered by the proliferation of satellite data, advanc...
Future temperature in southwest Asia projected to exceed a threshold for human adaptability A human body may be able to adapt to extremes of dry-bulb temperature (commonly referred to as simply temperature) through perspiration and associated evaporati...

Identifying the World’s Most Climate Change Vulnerable Species: A Systematic Trait-Based Assessment of all Birds, Amphibians and Corals Climate change will have far-reaching impacts on biodiversity, including increasing extinction rates. Current approaches to quantifying such impacts focus on me...
Forests in Decline: Yellow-Cedar Research Yields Prototype for Climate Change Adaptation Planning Yellow-cedar has been dying across 600 miles of North Pacific coastal rain forest—from Alaska to British Columbia—since about 1880. Thirty years ago, a ...
Tangled Trends for Temperate Rain Forests as Temperatures Tick Up Climate change is altering growing conditions in the temperate rain forest region that extends from northern California to the Gulf of Alaska. Longer, warme...

Comparing carbon sequestration in temperate freshwater wetland communities High productivity and waterlogged conditions make many freshwater wetlands significant carbon sinks. Most wet- land carbon studies focus on boreal peatlands, ho...
Integrated assessment of global water scarcity over the 21st century under multiple climate change mitigation policies Water scarcity conditions over the 21st century both globally and regionally are assessed in the context of climate change and climate mitigation policies, by e...
Wildfire and forest harvest disturbances in the boreal forest leave different long-lasting spatial signatures Natural disturbances leave long-term legacies that vary among landscapes and ecosystem types, and which become integral parts of successional pro- cesses at a g...
Integration and scaling of UV-B radiation effects on plants: from DNA to leaf A process-based model integrating the effects of UV-B radiation through epidermis, cellular DNA, and its consequences to the leaf expansion was developed from k...
Refugia: identifying and understanding safe havens for biodiversity under climate change Identifying and protecting refugia is a priority for conservation under pro- jected anthropogenic climate change, because of their demonstrated ability to facil...
Climate change and the invasion of California by grasses Over the next century, changes in the global climate are expected to have major consequences for plant communities, possibly including the exacerbation of speci...
Temperature and precipitation controls over leaf- and ecosystem-level CO2 flux along a woody plant encroachment gradient Conversion of grasslands to woodlands may alter the sensitivity of CO2 exchange of individual plants and entire ecosystems to air temperature and precipitation....
Oligocene CO2 Decline Promoted C4 Photosynthesis in Grasses C4 photosynthesis is an adaptation derived from the more common C3 photosynthetic pathway that con- fers a higher productivity under warm temperature and low at...
