Are we in the midst of the sixth mass extinction? A view from the world of amphibians: Many scientists argue that we are either entering or in the midst of the sixth great mass extinction. Intense human pressure, both direct and indirect, is ...
Biodiversity Risks from Fossil Fuel Extraction: The overlapping of biodiverse areas and fossil fuel reserves indicates high-risk regions.
WWF: China Ecological Footprint Report 2012 Consumption, Production and Sustainable Development: From the Executive Summary p. 3 : "We have only one planet and the time has come to transform our present lifestyle and consumption patterns in order to halt ...
Classification of Climate Change-Induced Stresses on Biological Diversity: Conservation actions need to account for and be adapted to address changes that will occur under global climate change. The identification of stresses on ...
Biodiversity management in the face of climate change: A review of 22 years of recommendations: Climate change creates new challenges for biodiversity conservation. Species ranges and ecological dynamics are already responding to recent climate shifts, ...
Biophysical and Biogeochemical Responses to Climate Change Depend on Dispersal and Migration: Different species, populations, and individuals disperse and migrate at different rates. The rate of movement that occurs in response to changes in climate, ...
Beaver (Castor canadensis) mitigate the effects of climate on the area of open water in boreal wetlands in western Canada: Shallow open water wetlands provide critical habitat for numerous species, yet they have become increasingly vulnerable to drought and warming temperatures and ...
Attributing physical and biological impacts to anthropogenic climate change: Significant changes in physical and biological systems are occurring on all continents and in most oceans, with a concentration of available data in Europe and ...
Analysing fossil-fuel displacement: It is commonly assumed that fossil fuels can be replaced by alternative forms of energy. Now research challenges this assumption, and highlights the role of ...
Assessing the impacts of livestock production on biodiversity in rangeland ecosystems: Biodiversity in rangelands is decreasing, due to intense utilization for livestock production and conversion of rangeland into cropland; yet the outlook of ...
Carbon debt of Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) grasslands converted to bioenergy production: Over 13 million ha of former cropland are enrolled in the US Conservation Reserve Program (CRP), providing well-recognized biodiversity, water quality, and ...
Biodiversity Under Global Change: Many common plant species, such as prairie grasses, have evolved traits for the efficient capture and use of two key resources that limit terrestrial ...
Amid Worrisome Signs of Warming, ‘Climate Fatigue’ Sets In: As scientists debate whether climate is changing faster than anticipated, some worry that a drumbeat of dire warnings may be helping to erode U.S. public ...
Barking up the Wrong Tree? Forest Sustainability in the wake of Emerging Bioenergy Policies: The spotted owl controversy revealed that federal forest management policies alone could not guarantee functioning forest ecosystems. At the same time as the ...
Domesticated Nature: Shaping Landscapes and Ecosystems for Human Welfare: Like all species, humans have exercised their impulse to perpetuate and propagate themselves. In doing so, we have domesticated landscapes and ecosystems in ...
Characteristics, distribution and geomorphic role of large woody debris in a mountain stream of the Chilean Andes: The paper presents an analysis of amounts, characteristics and morphological impact of large woody debris (LWD) in the Tres Arroyos stream, draining an ...
Scenarios of future land use change around United States’ protected areas: Land use change around protected areas can diminish their conservation value, making it important to predict future land use changes nearby. Our goal was to ...
Global change and the groundwater management challenge: With rivers in critical regions already exploited to capacity throughout the world and ground- water overdraft as well as large-scale contamination occurring ...
Duality in climate science: Delivery of palatable 2 °C mitigation scenarios depends on speculative negative emissions or changing the past. Scientists must make their assumptions ...
Human domination of the biosphere: Rapid discharge of the earth-space battery foretells the future of humankind: Earth is a chemical battery where, over evolutionary time with a trickle-charge of photosynthesis using solar energy, billions of tons of living biomass were ...
Stop misuse of biodiversity offsets: Governments should not meet existing conservation targets using the compensation that developers pay for damaging biodiversity, say Martine Maron and ...
