Soil heat extremes can outpace air temperature extremes

September 2023
Almudena García-García, Francisco José Cuesta-Valero, Diego G. Miralles, Miguel D. Mahecha, Johannes Quaas, Markus Reichstein, Jakob Zscheischler & Jian Peng
Nature Climate Change
This peer-reviewed study finds that extreme soil temperatures in Central Europe have increased faster than extreme air temperatures, and identifies soil temperature as a key factor in the soil moisture-temperature feedback cycle. Read More →

Decreasing fire season precipitation increased recent western U.S. forest wildfire activity

August 2023
Zachary Holden, Alan Swanson, Charles Luce, W. Jolly, Marco Maneta, Jared Oyler, Dyer Warren, Russell Parsons, and David Affleck
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
This peer-reviewed study uses climate modeling and statistical analysis of precipitation trends from 1979 to 2015 in the western United States to show that declines in summer precipitation contributed to the area of land burned by wildfires.Read More →

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 →

Recent and future declines of a historically widespread pollinator linked to climate, land cover, and pesticides

January 2023
William M. Janousek, Margaret R. Douglas, Syd Cannings, Marion A. Clément, Casey M. Delphia, Jeffery G. Everett, Richard G. Hatfield, Douglas A. Keinath, Jonathan B. Uhuad Koch, Lindsie M. McCabe, John M. Mola, Jane E. Ogilvie, Imtiaz Rangwala, Leif L. Richardson, Ashley T. Rohde, James P. Strange, Lusha M. Tronstad, and Tabitha A. Graves
Proceedings of the National Academy of the Sciences
This peer-reviewed study uses bayesian statistical methods to evaluate impacts of climate change on bumble bee populations. Bumble bees are projected to experience significant population decline over the next century due to climate-driven stressors. Read More →

Impact of climatic and vegetation dynamic change on runoff over the Three Rivers Source Region based on the Community Land Model

December 2022
Mingshan Deng, Xianhong Meng, Yaqiong Lu, Lele Shu, Zhaoguo Li, Lin Zhao, Hao Chen, Lunyu Shang, Danrui Sheng, and Xinmao Ao.
Climate Dynamics
This peer-reviewed study uses climate modeling to investigate the impact of anthropogenic warming and related vegetation changes on the runoff in the Three Rivers Source Region that drives three economically important rivers in China.Read More →

Forest fire threatens global carbon sinks and population centres under rising atmospheric water demand

November 2022
Hamish Clarke, Rachael H. Nolan, Victor Resco De Dios, Ross Bradstock, Anne Griebel, Shiva Khanal & Matthias M. Boer
Nature Communications
This study finds that climate change is projected to lead to widespread increases in fire risk, with at least 30 additional days above critical thresholds for fire activity in forest biomes on every continent by 2100 under rising emissions scenarios.Read More →
