COMMENTARY: Overshoot, adapt and recover
|
We will probably overshoot our current climate targets, so policies of adaptation and recovery need much more attention, say Martin Parry, Jason Lowe and Clair ... |

Three decades of multi-dimensional change in global leaf phenology
|
We show that the phenology of vegetation activity changed severely (by more than 2 standard deviations in one or more dimensions of phe- nological change) on 54... |

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... |

Biodiversity gains from efficient use of private sponsorship for flagship species conservation
|
To address the global extinction crisis, both efficient use of existing conservation funding and new sources of funding are vital. Private sponsorship of charis... |

Impacts of mountaintop mining on terrestrial ecosystem integrity: identifying landscape thresholds for avian species in the central Appalachians, United States
|
Reclaimed mine-dominated landscapes (less forest and more grassland/shrubland cover) elicited more negative (57 %) than positive (39 %) species responses. Negat... |
|
Historical legacies accumulate to shape future biodiversity in an era of rapid global change
|
Main conclusions : The failure to give adequate consideration to widespread cumulative time-lags often masks the full extent of biodiversity changes that have a... |

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... |

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... |

Fear of failure in conservation: The problem and potential solutions to aid conservation of extremely small populations
|
The potential for extirpation of extremely small populations (ESPs) is high due to their vulnerability to
demographic and environmental stochasticity and negat... |

Using and improving the social cost of carbon: Regular, institutionalized updating and review are essential
|
The social cost of carbon (SCC) is a crucial tool for economic analysis of climate policies. The SCC estimates the dollar value of reduced climate change damage... |

Palaeodata-informed modelling of large carbon losses from recent burning of boreal forests
|
Although boreal fire regimes are heterogeneous, recent trends6 and future projections7 point to increasing fire activity in response to climate warming througho... |

The links between ecosystem multifunctionality and above- and belowground biodiversity are mediated by climate
|
Plant biodiversity is often correlated with ecosystem functioning in terrestrial ecosystems. However, we know little about the relative and combined effects of ... |
