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... |

Global change and the groundwater management challenge
|
With rivers in critical regions already exploited to capacity throughout the world and ground- water overdraft as well as large-scale contamination occurring in... |

Solar energy development impacts on land cover change and protected areas
|
Decisions determining the use of land for energy are of exigent concern as land scarcity, the need for ecosystem services, and demands for energy generation hav... |

Medieval warming initiated exceptionally large wildfire outbreaks in the Rocky Mountains
|
Many of the largest wildfires in US history burned in recent decades, and climate change explains much of the increase in area burned. The frequency of extreme ... |

Significant anthropogenic-induced changes of climate classes since 1950
|
Anthropogenic forcings have contributed to global and regional warming in the last few decades and likely affected terrestrial precipitation. Here we examine ch... |

Traversing the mountaintop: world fossil fuel production to 2050
|
During the past century, fossil fuels—petroleum liquids, natural gas and coal—were the dominant source of world energy production. From 1950 to 2005, fossil... |

Impacts of the EU biofuel policy on agricultural markets and land use
|
The European Union's Renewable Energy Directive (RED)1 sets an overall target of 20% of the EU's energy used to come from renewable sources by 2020. As part of ... |

Evaporative cooling over the Tibetan Plateau induced by vegetation growth
|
Here, we show that in contrast to arctic regions, increased growing season vegetation activity over the TP may have attenuated surface warming. This negative fe... |

A phantom road experiment reveals traffic noise is an invisible source of habitat degradation
|
Decades of research demonstrate that roads impact wildlife and suggest traffic noise as a primary cause of population declines near roads. We created a “phant... |

Effect of fine wood on juvenile brown trout behaviour in experimental stream channels
|
In-stream wood can increase shelter availability and prey abundance for stream-living fish such as brown trout, Salmo trutta, but the input of wood to streams h... |

Sour Streams in Appalachia: Mapping Nature’s Buffer Against Sulfur Deposition
|
Sulfur emissions are regulated by the Environmental Protection Agency, but sulfuric acid that has
leached into soil and streams can linger in the environment a... |

The rebound effect is overplayed
|
Increasing energy efficiency brings emissions savings. Claims that it backfires are a distraction, say Kenneth Gillingham and colleagues. |
