Climate change is a pervasive and growing global threat to biodiversity and ecosystems.
Here, we present the most up-to-date assessment of climate change impacts on biodiversity …

Several initiatives have been proposed to mitigate forest loss and climate change through
tree planting as well as maintaining and restoring forest ecosystems. These initiatives have …

Worldwide, forests are increasingly affected by nonnative insects and diseases, some of
which cause substantial tree mortality. Forests in the United States have been invaded by a …

Mean surface temperatures have increased globally by~ 0.7 C per century since 1900 and
0.16 C per decade since 1970 (Levinson and Fettig 2014). Most of this warming is believed …

A campaign is underway to clear established forests and expand early-successional
habitats—also called young forest, pre-forest, early seral, or open habitats—with the …

Tree size-density dynamics can inform key trends in forest productivity along with
opportunities to increase ecosystem resiliency. Here, we employ a novel approach to …

Major efforts are underway to harness the carbon sequestration capacity of forests to combat
global climate change. However, tree damage and death associated with insect and disease …

Terrestrial ecosystems are an important sink for atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2),
sequestering~ 30% of annual anthropogenic emissions and slowing the rise of atmospheric …

Accurate quantification of forest carbon stocks and fluxes over regions is needed to monitor
forest resources as they respond to changes in climate, disturbance and management, and …

Tree-ring time series provide long-term, annually resolved information on the growth of
trees. When sampled in a systematic context, tree-ring data can be scaled to estimate the …
