Potential impacts of climate change on soil erosion vulnerability across the conterminous United States

Creator:: Segura, C., Sun, G., McNulty, S., and Zhang, Y.
Abstract:: Rainfall runoff erosivity (R) is one key climate factor that controls water erosion. Quantifying the effects of climate change–induced erosivity change is important for identifying critical regions prone to soil erosion under a changing environment. In this study we first evaluate the changes of R from 1970 to 2090 across...

Plethodontid Salamander Distributions in Managed Forest Headwaters in Western Oregon, USA

Creator:: Olson, Deanna H. and Kluber, Matthew R.
Abstract:: We examined terrestrial amphibians in managed headwater forest stands in western Oregon from 1998 to 2009. We assessed: (1) temporal and spatial patterns of species capture rates, and movement patterns with distance from streams and forest management treatments of alternative riparian buffer widths and upland thinning; (2) species survival and...

Reframing Engagement Methods for Climate Change Adaptation

Creator:: Cone, Joseph, Rowe, Shawn, Borberg, Jenna, Stancioff, Esperanza, Doore, Brian, and Grant, Kristen
Abstract:: Climate change poses known and unknown risks for coastal communities and also challenges for university faculty and local government staff who communicate about climate sciences. Conceived as a way to move beyond traditional models of science communication, this project involved public and private decision makers in specific at-risk communities in...

The potential of Indonesian mangrove forests for global climate change mitigation

Creator:: Murdiyarso, Daniel, Purbopuspito, Joko, Kauffman, J. Boone, Warren, Matthew W., Sasmito, Sigit D., Donato, Daniel C., Manuri, Solichin, Krisnawati, Haruni, Taberima, Sartji, and Kurnianto, Sofyan
Abstract:: Mangroves provide a wide range of ecosystem services, including nutrient cycling, soil formation, wood production, fish spawning grounds, ecotourism and carbon (C) storage¹. High rates of tree and plant growth, coupled with anaerobic, water-logged soils that slow decomposition, result in large long-term C storage. Given their global significance as large...

How Good Science and Stories Can Go Hand-In-Hand

Creator:: Leslie, Heather M., Goldman, Erica, McLeod, Karen L., Sievanen, Leila, Balasubramanian, Hari, Cudney-Bueno, Richard, Feuerstein, Amanda, Knowlton, Nancy, Lee, Kai, Pollnac, Richard, and Samhouri, Jameal F.
Abstract:: What do you say when you have only a minute to explain to a municipal official why keeping track of the number of bird species found in a park may help make decisions about park management? Talk of significant differences among treatments or testing theory will likely meet with glazed...

Integrating oceans into climate policy : any green new deal needs a splash of blue

Creator:: Dundas, Steven J., Levine, Arielle S., Lewison, Rebecca L., Doerr, Angee N., White, Crow, Galloway, Aaron W. E., Garza, Corey, Hazen, Elliott L., Padilla‐Gamiño, Jacqueline, Samhouri, Jameal F., Spalding, Ana, Stier, Adrian, and White, J. Wilson
Abstract:: Recent warnings from scientists suggest there is limited time to enact policies to avert wide‐ranging ecological and social damage from climate change. In the United States, discussions about comprehensive national policies to avert climate change have begun, with “Green New Deal” proposals and climate plans put forth by members of...

Deforestation Trends of Tropical Dry Forests in Central Brazil

Creator:: Bianchi, Carlos A. and Haig, Susan M.
Abstract:: Tropical dry forests are the most threatened forest type in the world yet a paucity of research about them stymies development of appropriate conservation actions. The Paran~a River Basin has the most significant dry forest formations in the Cerrado biome of central Brazil and is threatened by intense land conversion...

Western forests, fire risk, and climate change

Creator:: Rapp, Valerie
Abstract:: Climate warming may ﬁrst show up in forests as increased growth, which occurs as warmer temperatures, increased carbon dioxide, and more precipitation encourage higher rates of photosynthesis. The second way that climate change may show up in forests is through changes in disturbance regimes—the long-term patterns of ﬁre, drought, insects,...

Climate change and forest disturbances

Creator:: Hale, Virginia H., Joyce, Linda A., McNulty, Steve, Neilson, Ronald P., Ayres, Matthew P., Flannigan, Michael D., Hanson, Paul J., Irland, Lloyd C., Lugo, Ariel E., Peterson, Chris J., Simberloff, Daniel, Swanson, Frederick J., Stocks, Brian J., and Wotton, B.Michael
Abstract:: Studies of the effects of climate change on forests have focused on the ability of species to tolerate temperature and moisture changes and to disperse, but they have ignored the effects of disturbances caused by climate change (e.g., Ojima et al. 1991). Yet modeling studies indicate the importance of climate...
