if the stability in these hotspots is not maintained. In addition, we investigated how current human activity intensity and future climate change (Figs. S1and S2)
and ecological changes to the system from climate change often have cascading effects, many of which may be reflected in terrapin populations (Fig.1). Although terrapins forage primarily on invertebrates and fish (Butler et al.2012; Denton et al.2016), they are near the top of the food cha...
Food consumption is a major source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and evaluating its future warming impact is crucial for guiding climate mitigation action. However, the lack of granularity in reporting food item emissions and the widespread use of o
National-level climate change perception surveys in the U.S. have existed for over a decade.Footnote4However, such broad, national-level surveys do not capture the large variations in the beliefs and opinions across the different geographical areas of the U.S. To overcome this limitation, Howe ...
1. Introduction Climate change microrefugia are small areas with special environmental conditions where species persist during regional climate changes with the potential to re-expand in the future (Keppel et al., 2012, Meineri and Hylander, 2017). Because such areas provide important information ab...
The HHSI developed in this study can be used as a tool for the assessment of the possible impact of climate change on water-related hazards in a region and demarcation of climate change-vulnerable zones. It can also be used to assist policy makers to prioritize adaptation and mitigation ...
Even for a single region such as California, the resulting relations between climate and fire are rather different dependent on the size of the subregion under consideration (Table 1). Secondly, climate models focus on annual temperature change, yet annual variation in area burned is not strongly...
Change upsets settled relationships. If change is mutually agreed, the parties to it are more likely than not to have anticipated and planned for its effects. If change is imposed, the imposing parties will have only a dim view of its effects and the parties imposed upon will have only scan...
***UPDATE – 3/14 8:15 pm EST*** Units 1 and 3 are currently in a stable condition according to TEPCO press releases, but the extent of the fuel damage is unknown. That said, radiation levels at the Fukushima plant have fallen to 231 micro sieverts (23.1 millirem) as of 2:30 pm...
Climate change is expected to alter the factors that drive changes in adaptive variation. This is especially true for species with long life spans and limited dispersal capabilities. Rapid climate changes may disrupt the migration of beneficial genetic v
