A Chinese cave links climate change, social impacts, and human adaptation over the last 500 years
|
The collapse of some pre-historical and historical cultures, including Chinese dynasties were presumably linked to widespread droughts, on the basis of synchron...

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...

Palaeodata-informed modelling of large carbon losses from recent burning of boreal forests
|
Wildfires play a key role in the boreal forest carbon cycle(1,2), and models suggest that accelerated burning will increase boreal C emissions in the coming cen...

Spatial aspects of tree mortality strongly differ between young and old-growth forests
|
In young forests, mortality should be primarily density dependent due to competition for light, leading to an increasingly spatially uniform pattern of survivi...
