Global change is impacting forests worldwide, threatening biodiversity and ecosystem
services including climate regulation. Understanding how forests respond is critical to forest …

The response of tree growth to a change in temperature may differ in predictable ways.
Trees with conservative growth strategies may have little ability to respond to a changing …

For decades, conservation and research initiatives in tropical forests have focused almost
exclusively on old-growth forests because scientists believed that these “pristine” …

A recently developed integrative framework proposes that the vulnerability of a species to
environmental change depends on the species' exposure and sensitivity to environmental …

The biomass of undisturbed tropical forests has likely increased in the past few decades,,
probably as a result of accelerated tree growth. Higher CO2 levels are expected to raise …

Persistent changes in tree mortality rates can alter forest structure, composition, and
ecosystem services such as carbon sequestration. Our analyses of longitudinal data from …

The true cost of what the global food industry throws away. With shortages, volatile prices
and nearly one billion people hungry, the world has a food problem—or thinks it does …

Forest structure and dynamics vary across the Amazon Basin in an east-west gradient
coincident with variations in soil fertility and geology. This has resulted in the hypothesis that …

Many studies suggest that global warming is driving species ranges poleward and toward
higher elevations at temperate latitudes, but evidence for range shifts is scarce for the …

Birds are among the most widely studied organisms on earth and represent an important
indicator group for learning about the effects of climate change–particularly in regard to the …
