Key tropical crops at risk from pollinator loss due to climate change and land use

October 2023
Joseph Millard, Charlotte L. Outhwaite, Silvia Ceaușu, Luísa G. Carvalheiro, Felipe Deodato da Silvae Silva, Lynn V. Dicks, Jeff Ollerton, Tim Newbold
Science Advances
This peer-reviewed study presents a global assessment of the interactive effects of climate change and land use on pollinator abundance, and attempts to predict how these changes might translate into agricultural risk worldwide.Read More →

Unlock the Endangered Species Act to address GHG emissions

August 2023
Steven C. Amstrup, Cecilia M. Bitz
Science
This peer-reviewed policy forum piece quantifies the relationship between anthropogenic GHG emissions and polar bear population levels, and discusses the impact of this finding on their endangered species status in the United States.Read More →

Heat Waves Can Cause Hypoxia in Shallow Lakes

April 2023
Ryuichiro Shinohara, Shin-Ichiro S. Matsuzaki, Mirai Watanabe, Megumi Nakagawa, Hajime Yoshida, Ayato Kohzu
Geophysical Research Letters
This peer-reviewed study examines the factors that might induce hypoxia in a shallow lake during a heat wave, and suggests that the slackening of terrestrial wind speeds in response to climate change will lead to more frequent occurrences of hypoxia.Read More →

Reduced Tropical Climate Land Area Under Global Warming

March 2023
Ori Adam, Noga Liberty-Levi, Michael Byrne, Thomas Birner
Geophysical Research Letters
This peer-reviewed study examines the extent of tropical climate land areas in the ERA5 and MERRA-2 reanalyses and in high-emission scenarios of 45 climate models. The study finds that climate change will drive a net reduction in tropical land area.Read More →

Warming and Drought Weaken the Carbon Sink Capacity of an Endangered Paleoendemic Temperate Rainforest in South America

March 2023
Jorge F. Perez-Quezada, Jonathan Barichivich, Rocío Urrutia-Jalabert, Enrique Carrasco, David Aguilera, Cédric Bacour, Antonio Lara
JGR: Biogeosciences
This peer-reviewed study finds that warming and drying predicted by climate change models may reduce the capacity of temperate rainforests in southern Chile to act as a carbon sink.Read More →

Synthesis Report of the IPCC Sixth Assessment Report

March 2023
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change
This Synthesis Report summarizes the state of knowledge of climate change, its widespread impacts and risks, and climate change mitigation and adaptation, based on the peer-reviewed scientific, technical and socio-economic literature since 2014.Read More →

Large increases in methane emissions expected from North America’s largest wetland complex

March 2023
Sheel Bansal, Max Post Van Der Burg, Rachel R. Fern, John W. Jones, Rachel Lo, Owen P. McKenna, Brian A. Tangen, Zhen Zhang, Robert A. Gleason
Science Advances
This peer-reviewed study examines natural methane emissions from the Prairie Pothole Region, North America's largest wetland. These emissions are predicted to increase by 2- or 3-fold by 2100 under moderate or severe warming scenarios, respectively.Read More →
