Inhomogeneous forcing and transient climate sensitivity
|
Understanding climate sensitivity is critical to projecting climate change in response to a given forcing scenario. Recent analyses1–3 have suggested that tra... |
Brownness of organics in aerosols from biomass burning linked to their black carbon content
|
Atmospheric particulate matter plays an important role in the Earth’s radiative balance. Over the past two decades, it has been established that a portion of ... |
Don't Blame the Beetles
|
Bark beetles have devastated western forests, but that may not mean more severe fires. |
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... |
On the difference in the net ecosystem exchange of CO2 between deciduous and evergreen forests in the southeastern United States
|
The southeastern United States is experiencing a rapid regional increase in the ratio of pine to deciduous forest ecosystems at the same time it is experiencing... |
Influence of different tree-harvesting intensities on forest soil carbon stocks in boreal and northern temperate forest ecosystems
|
|
Temporal stability in forest productivity increases with tree diversity due to asynchrony in species dynamics
|
Theory predicts a positive relationship between biodiversity and stability in ecosystem properties, while diversity is expected to have a negative impact on sta... |
A systems approach to evaluating the air quality co-benefits of US carbon policies
|
Because human activities emit greenhouse gases (GHGs) and conventional air pollutants from common sources, policy designed to reduce GHGs can have co-benefits f... |
Herb layer extinction debt in highly fragmented temperate forests – Completely paid after 160 years?
|
The time-delayed extinction of plant species following habitat fragmentation is a well-known phenomenon in ecology. The length of the relaxation time until this... |
The influence of contextual cues on the perceived status of consumption-reducing behavior
|
The question of whether and when behaviors that reduce overall consumption are associated with low status has not been adequately explored. Previous research su... |
Three perspectives on U.S. fire policy
|
Following a 2015 paper on US wildfire policy and practices, published by Science, Science published two letters challenging the paper, and authors of the paper ... |

Planetary boundaries: Guiding human development on a changing planet
|
The planetary boundaries framework defines a safe operating space for humanity based on the intrinsic biophysical processes that regulate the stability of the E... |
Saturation-state sensitivity of marine bivalve larvae to ocean acidification
|
Ocean acidification results in co-varying inorganic carbon system variables. Of these, an explicit focus on pH and organismal acid–base regulation has failed ... |
How does crop residue removal affect soil organic carbon and yield? A hierarchical analysis of management and environmental factors
|
Our results suggest that crop residue removal is not recommended in tropical soils, particularly in coarse-textured ones, and in SOC-depleted soils in temperate... |

Regional variability in extinction thresholds for forest birds in the north-eastern United States: an examination of potential drivers using long-term breeding bird atlas datasets
|
Main conclusions: Extinction threshold estimates varied tremendously across species and landscapes. Thus, habitat thresholds are difficult to generalize as they... |
Global separation of plant transpiration from groundwater and streamflow
|
Current land surface models assume that groundwater, streamflow and plant transpiration are all sourced and mediated by the same well mixed water reservoir—th... |
