Mean species responses predict effects of environmental change on coexistence.
Publication Type: Editorial & Opinion
Source(s): Ecology letters [Ecol Lett] 2023 Sep; Vol. 26 (9), pp. 1535-1547. Date of Electronic Publication: 2023 Jun 20.
Abstract: Environmental change research is plagued by the curse of dimensionality: the number of communities at risk and the number of environmental drivers are both large. This raises the pressing question if a general understanding of ecological effects is ach...
Tree biodiversity of warm drylands is likely to decline in a drier world.
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): Global change biology [Glob Chang Biol] 2023 Jul; Vol. 29 (13), pp. 3707-3722. Date of Electronic Publication: 2023 Apr 25.
Abstract: Warm drylands represent 19% of land surfaces worldwide and host ca. 1100 tree species. The risk of decline due to climate aridification of this neglected biodiversity has been overlooked despite its ecological and societal importance. To fill this gap,...
Observed and projected functional reorganization of riverine fish assemblages from global change.
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): Global change biology [Glob Chang Biol] 2023 Jul; Vol. 29 (13), pp. 3759-3780. Date of Electronic Publication: 2023 Apr 16.
Abstract: Climate and land-use/land-cover change ("global change") are restructuring biodiversity, globally. Broadly, environmental conditions are expected to become warmer, potentially drier (particularly in arid regions), and more anthropogenically developed i...
Reversed Holocene temperature-moisture relationship in the Horn of Africa.
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): Nature [Nature] 2023 Aug; Vol. 620 (7973), pp. 336-343. Date of Electronic Publication: 2023 Aug 09.
Abstract: Anthropogenic climate change is predicted to severely impact the global hydrological cycle 1 , particularly in tropical regions where agriculture-based economies depend on monsoon rainfall 2 . In the Horn of Africa, more frequent drought conditions in ...
Impact of climate extreme events and their causality on maize yield in South Africa.
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): Scientific reports [Sci Rep] 2023 Aug 01; Vol. 13 (1), pp. 12462. Date of Electronic Publication: 2023 Aug 01.
Abstract: Extreme climate events can have a significant negative impact on maize productivity, resulting in food scarcity and socioeconomic losses. Thus, quantifying their effect is needed for developing future adaptation and mitigation strategies, especially fo...
Impacts of anthropogenic climate change on tropical montane forests: an appraisal of the evidence.
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): Biological reviews of the Cambridge Philosophical Society [Biol Rev Camb Philos Soc] 2023 Aug; Vol. 98 (4), pp. 1200-1224. Date of Electronic Publication: 2023 Mar 29.
Abstract: In spite of their small global area and restricted distributions, tropical montane forests (TMFs) are biodiversity hotspots and important ecosystem services providers, but are also highly vulnerable to climate change. To protect and preserve these ecos...
Global climate-change trends detected in indicators of ocean ecology.
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): Nature [Nature] 2023 Jul; Vol. 619 (7970), pp. 551-554. Date of Electronic Publication: 2023 Jul 12.
Abstract: Strong natural variability has been thought to mask possible climate-change-driven trends in phytoplankton populations from Earth-observing satellites. More than 30 years of continuous data were thought to be needed to detect a trend driven by climate ...
Safe and just Earth system boundaries.
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): Nature [Nature] 2023 Jul; Vol. 619 (7968), pp. 102-111. Date of Electronic Publication: 2023 May 31.
Abstract: The stability and resilience of the Earth system and human well-being are inseparably linked 1-3 , yet their interdependencies are generally under-recognized; consequently, they are often treated independently 4,5 . Here, we use modelling and literatur...
Human-induced weakening of the Northern Hemisphere tropical circulation.
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): Nature [Nature] 2023 May; Vol. 617 (7961), pp. 529-532. Date of Electronic Publication: 2023 Apr 17.
Abstract: By accounting for most of the poleward atmospheric heat and moisture transport in the tropics, the Hadley circulation largely affects the latitudinal patterns of precipitation and temperature at low latitudes. To increase our preparednesses for human-i...
Hydrofluorocarbons, Climate, and Health - Moving the Montreal Protocol beyond Ozone-Layer Recovery.
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): The New England journal of medicine [N Engl J Med] 2023 Jun 29; Vol. 388 (26), pp. 2404-2406. Date of Electronic Publication: 2023 Jun 24.
