Genetic consequences of climate change for northern plants
|
Climate change will lead to loss of range for many species, and thus to loss of genetic diversity crucial for their long-term persistence. We analysed range-wid... |
Accounting for groundwater in stream fish thermal habitat responses to climate change
|
Forecasting climate change effects on aquatic fauna and their habitat requires an understanding of how water temperature responds to changing air temperature (i... |

Multidecadal to multicentury scale collapses of Northern Hemisphere monsoons over the past millennium
|
Late Holocene climate in western North America was punctuated by periods of extended aridity called megadroughts. These droughts have been linked to cool easter... |
Wood and river landscapes
|
The influence of trees and dead wood on river dynamics has long been overlooked. Recent work suggests that large wood pieces can stabilize the land surface, con... |
The Global Extent and Determinants of Savanna and Forest as Alternative Biome States
|
Theoretically, fire–tree cover feedbacks can maintain savanna and forest as alternative stable states.
However, the global extent of fire-driven discontinuit... |
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... |
How does climate change influence demographic processes of widespread species? Lessons from the comparative analysis of contrasted populations of roe deer
|
How populations respond to climate change depends on the interplay between life history, resource avail- ability, and the intensity of the change. Roe deer are ... |
Generic Indicators for Loss of Resilience Before a Tipping Point Leading to Population Collapse
|
Theory predicts that the approach of catastrophic thresholds in natural systems (e.g., ecosystems,
the climate) may result in an increasingly slow recovery fro... |
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... |
Diverse pollinator communities enhance plant reproductive success
|
Understanding the functional consequences of biodiversity loss is a major goal of ecology. Animal-mediated pollination is an essential ecosystem function and se... |
Impacts Research Seen As Next Climate Frontier

Photoperiodic regulation of the seasonal pattern of photosynthetic capacity and the implications for carbon cycling
|
Although temperature is an important driver of seasonal changes in photosynthetic physiology, photoperiod also regulates leaf activity. Climate change will exte... |
Systemic trade risk of critical resources
|
Complex Systems: In the wake of the 2008 financial crisis, the role of strongly interconnected markets in causing systemic instability has been increasingly ack... |
Understanding Interaction Effects of Climate Change and Fire Management on Bird Distributions through Combined Process and Habitat Models
|
Avian conservation efforts must account for changes in vegetation composition and structure associated with climate change. We modeled vegetation change and the... |
Regional growth decline of sugar maple (Acer saccharum) and its potential causes
|
Sugar maple (Acer saccharum Marsh) has experienced poor vigor, regeneration failure, and elevated mortality across much of its range, but there has been relativ... |
Predator-induced reduction of freshwater carbon dioxide emissions
|
Predators can influence the exchange of carbon dioxide between ecosystems and the atmosphere by altering ecosys- tem processes such as decomposition and primary... |
Global Change and the Ecology of Cities
|
Urban areas are hot spots that drive environmental change at multiple scales. Material demands of production and human consumption alter land use and cover, bio... |

Ecosystem Service Markets 101: Supply and Demand for Nature
|
Establishing markets for ecosystem services—the benefits that nature provides, such as clean air, water, and wildlife habitat—has gained traction in some ci... |
