CO2 fertilization effect may balance climate change impacts on oil palm cultivation

April 2023
Tim Beringer, Christoph Müller, Julia Chatterton, Michal Kulak, Sibyll Schaphoff, Yvonne Jans
Environmental Research Letters
This study examines the impact of CO2 fertilization on palm oil yields, and finds that under all climate scenarios yields are anticipated to increase. This contradicts earlier studies, which did not consider positive effects of CO2 fertilization.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 →

Recent Douglas-fir Mortality in the Klamath Mountains Ecoregion of Oregon: Evidence for a Decline Spiral

March 2023
Max Bennett, David C. Shaw, Laura Lowrey
Journal of Forestry
This peer-reviewed study uses data from the USDA Forest Service Aerial Detection Survey and ninety-six field plots to explore the relationships between regional characteristics, climate variables, and Douglas-fir mortality.Read More →

Impacts of recent climate change on crop yield can depend on local conditions in climatically diverse regions of Norway

March 2023
Shirin Mohammadi, Knut Rydgren, Vegar Bakkestuen, Mark A. K. Gillespie
Nature Scientific Reports
This peer-reviewed study evaluates the links between changes of temperature and precipitation and changes in wheat, barley, and potato yields at the county-level in Norway, demonstrating widely varying impacts by county.Read More →

Climate change as a global amplifier of human–wildlife conflict

February 2023
Briana Abrahms, Neil H. Carter, T. J. Clark-Wolf, Kaitlyn M. Gaynor, Erik Johansson, Alex McInturff, Anna C. Nisi, Kasim Rafiq, Leigh West
Nature Climate Change
This peer-reviewed study synthesizes global evidence of climate-driven conflicts between humans and wildlife, and introduces a framework to describe distinct environmental, ecological and sociopolitical pathways of climate wildlife conflict.Read More →

Shifts in vegetation activity of terrestrial ecosystems attributable to climate trends

February 2023
Steven Higgins, Timo Conradi, and Edward Muhoko
Nature Geoscience
This peer-reviewed study uses datasets on vegetation dynamics of 100 sites over the past 40 years to analyze the impact of anthropogenic climate change on vegetation in all terrestrial ecosystem types.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 →

Divergent effects of climate change on the egg-laying opportunity of species in cold and warm regions

January 2023
Liang Ma, Chao Hu, Zhong-Wen Jiang, Wei-Guo Du
Conservation Biology
This peer-reviewed study evaluates egg-laying opportunity within a model species of lizard to evaluate the impact of climate change on population decline in egg-laying species.Read More →

January 2023
Gopal Murali, Takuya Iwamura, Shai Meiri, Uri Roll
Nature
This peer-reviewed study provides a global assessment of land vertebrates’ exposures to future extreme thermal events.Read More →
