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... |

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... |

Carbon Market Lessons and Global Policy Outlook
|
Summary: Ongoing work on linking markets and mixing policies builds on successes and failures in pricing and trading carbon. Closing sentence, 1st paragraph: Ar... |

Marine Taxa Track Local Climate Velocities
|
Organisms are expected to adapt or move in response to climate change, but observed
distribution shifts span a wide range of directions and rates. Explanations... |

Conifer regeneration following stand-replacing wildfire varies along an elevation gradient in a ponderosa pine forest, Oregon, USA
|
Climate change is expected to increase disturbances such as stand-replacing wildfire in many ecosystems, which have the potential to drive rapid turnover in eco... |

Climate change-associated tree mortality increases without decreasing water availability
|
Here, we reveal temporally increasing tree mortality across all study species over the last three decades in the central boreal forests of Canada, where long-te... |

Diffusion into new markets: evolving customer segments in the solar photovoltaics market
|
The US residential solar market is growing quickly, and as solar adoption diffuses into new populations, later adopters may differ significantly from earlier on... |

Biodiversity Risks from Fossil Fuel Extraction
|
The overlapping of biodiverse areas and fossil fuel reserves indicates high-risk regions. |

Tree mortality predicted from drought-induced vascular damage
|
The projected responses of forest ecosystems to warming and drying associated with twenty-first-century climate change vary widely from resiliency to widespread... |

METABOLISM AS A CURRENCY AND CONSTRAINT IN ECOLOGY Temperature dependence of trophic interactions are driven by asymmetry of species responses and foraging strategy
|
We test for the existence of asymmetries in consumer–resource thermal responses by analy- sing an extensive database on thermal response curves of ecological ... |

Drought, disease, defoliation and death: forest pathogens as agents of past vegetation change
|
The temperate and boreal forests of Europe and North America have been subject to repeated pathogen (fungal disease and phytophagus insect) outbreaks over the l... |

Managing Forests and Fire in Changing Climates
|
With projected climate change, we
expect to face much more forest

are challenged not to categorize all
fires as de... |

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... |

From sink to source: Regional variation in U.S. forest carbon futures
|
The sequestration of atmospheric carbon (C) in forests has partially offset C emissions in the United States (US) and might reduce overall costs of achieving em... |

Seasonal weather patterns drive population vital rates and persistence in a stream fish
|
Here, we investigated effects of seasonal air temperature and precipitation (fall, winter, and spring) on survival and recruitment of brook trout (Salvelinus fo... |
|
Nonrandom, diversifying processes are disproportionately strong in the smallest size classes of a tropical forest
|
Here, we use one of the world’s longest-running, plot-based forest dynamics projects to compare nonrandom outcomes across stage classes. We considered a cohor... |
