May 2005
Terry L. Root,* Dena P MacMynowski, Michael D. Mastrandrea, and Stephen H. Schneider
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America
This study demonstrates “joint attribution,” a two-step linkage: human activities contribute significantly to temperature changes and human-changed temperatures are associated with discernible changes in plant and animal traits. Read More →
