Risk of isolation increases the urgency and spatial extent of climate change adaptation
Estimations of the risk from sea-level rise are often based on the amount of property inundated by water. However, risk measurements based on isolation...
Lakes as model systems for understanding global change
Research using lakes and ponds as model systems contributes both to addressing the freshwater biodiversity crisis and developing general theories and frameworks for understanding...
Lake temperature and nutrient levels interact to reorganize ecological networks
Causal links between plankton taxa were inferred using long-term data from ten Swiss lakes, revealing the effect of warming and nutrient levels on entire...
Soils worldwide suffer from the combined effects of multiple global change factors
A statistical analysis of data from global surveys reveals that soils react to the number of stressors as well as to the individual stressor...
Climate-driven zooplankton shifts cause large-scale declines in food quality for fish
AbstractZooplankton are the primary energy pathway from phytoplankton to fish. Yet, there is limited understanding about how climate change will modify zooplankton communities and...
The co-production of knowledge for climate science
Indigenous and Western knowledge ethically combined is uniquely suited to address ongoing climate challenges. To build an environment where Western and Indigenous knowledge systems...
Climate feedback on methane from wetlands
Strong positive wetland methane climate feedbacks from global warming may occur but have not been accounted for in Earth system models. Now, model simulations...
Recent intensification of wetland methane feedback
AbstractThe positive response of wetland methane (CH4) emissions to climate change is an important yet uncertain Earth-system feedback that amplifies atmospheric CH4 concentrations. Here,...
Weakening greenhouse gas sink of pristine wetlands under warming
AbstractPristine wetlands have high potential for mitigating climate change because of their large carbon stocks. However, whether and where wetlands will act as a...
