Schorran, Paul E. Buck, Bobby H. Braswell, James S. Coleman, Rebecca A. Sherry, Linda L. Wallace, Yiqi Luo, David S. Schimel
Nature
This study suggests that more frequent anomalously warm years, a possible consequence of increasing anthropogenic carbon dioxide levels, may lead to a sustained decrease in carbon dioxide uptake by terrestrial ecosystems.Read More →

Climate Change, Elevational Range Shifts, and Bird Extinctions

December 2007
Cagan H. Sekercioglu, Stephen H. Schneider, John P. Fay, Scott R. Loarie
Society for Conservation Biology
Using elevational limits in a tested, standardized, and robust manner can improve conservation assessments of terrestrial species and will help identify species that are most vulnerable to global climate change. Read More →
