Global Change Risks a Threatened Species due to Alteration of Predator–prey Dynamics
Resource
Although global change can reshape ecosystems by triggering cascading effects on food webs, indirect interactions remain largely overlooked. Climate- and land-use-induced changes in landscape cause...
Global Fading of the Temperature-Growth Coupling at Alpine and Polar Treelines
Resource
Climate warming is expected to positively alter upward and poleward treelines which are controlled by low temperature and a short growing season. Despite the importance of treelines as a bioassay of...
Going With the Flow: Intraspecific Variation May Act as a Natural Ally to Counterbalance the Impacts of Global Change for the Riparian Species Populus Deltoides
Resource
The speed and magnitude of global change will have major impacts on riparian ecosystems, thereby leading to greater forest vulnerability. Assessing species’ adaptive capacities to provide relevant...
“Good Disturbances” May Help Achieve Reclamation Goals
Resource
Minimal disturbance is an approach to oil and gas development that aims to preserve the attributes of the original site as much as possible during development. Minimal disturbance practices include...
