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... |

Soil organic matter turnover is governed by accessibility not recalcitrance
|
Mechanisms to mitigate global climate change by sequestering carbon (C) in different ‘sinks’ have been proposed as at least temporary measures. Of the major... |

Impact of reduced Arctic sea ice on Greenland ice sheet variability in a warmer than present climate
|
A global climate model with interactive vegetation and a coupled ice sheet-shelf component is used to test the response of the Greenland ice sheet (GIS) to incr... |

The cold-water climate shield: delineating refugia for preserving salmonid fishes through the 21st century
|
The distribution and future fate of ectothermic organisms in a warming world will be dictated by thermal-scapes across landscapes. That is particularly true for... |

CONSERVATION EASEMENTS AT THE CLIMATE CHANGE CROSSROADS
|
This article examines the conundrum that occurs when climate change leads to a landscape that conflicts with conservation easement terms. In facing the challeng... |

Protected areas facilitate species’ range expansions
|
The benefits of protected areas (PAs) for biodiversity have been questioned in the context of climate change because PAs are static, whereas the distributions o... |
