Applicability of the steady‐state oxygen stable isotope method for estimating metabolism in low‐productivity Arctic lakes

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Metabolism is a key property of lake ecosystem functioning, but logistical challenges make it difficult to estimate across remote regions. The steady‐state dissolved oxygen (DO) stable isotope method (18O method) estimates metabolism from discrete water samples and thus enables large‐scale surveys.

Manifold increase in the spatial extent of heatwaves in the terrestrial Arctic

Communications Earth & Environment
It is widely acknowledged that the intensity, frequency and duration of heatwaves are increasing worldwide, including the Arctic. However, less attention has been paid to the land area affected by heatwaves.

The effects of single versus successive warm summers on an intertidal community

Oikos, EarlyView.
To accurately predict how organisms and ecological communities will respond to future conditions caused by climate change, we must consider the temporal dynamics of environmental stressors, including the effects of repeated exposures to stress. We performed a two‐year passive thermal manipulation in coastal British Columbia, Canada to determine how ...

The missing woodland story: Implications of 1700 years of stand‐scale change on ‘naturalness’ and managing remnant broadleaved woodlands

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Longer‐term perspectives—equivalent to the lifespans of long‐lived trees—are required to fully inform perceptions of ‘naturalness’ used in woodland conservation and management. Stand‐scale dynamics of an old growth temperate woodland are reconstructed using palaeoecological data.

Increasing exposure of global croplands productivity to growing season heatwaves under climate warming

Environmental Research Letters
Growing season heatwaves that occur simultaneously over global croplands can negatively impact global food baskets. The long-term changes of growing season heatwaves, as well as their impacts on croplands productivity, are crucial to food security, but ...

Wilting wildflowers and bummed‐out bees: Climate change threatens US state symbols

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Species designated as state symbols in the United States carry cultural importance, embody historical heritage and maintain long‐standing linkages to Indigenous traditions. However, they are threatened by climate change and even face the risk of local or global extinction.

Implementing potential climate‐smart practices through diverse partnerships

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Climate change is one of the greatest threats to society, negatively impacting agriculture and crop yields. Globally, agriculture is also one of the largest greenhouse gas (GHG) emitting sectors. Climate‐smart practices that are developed through diverse partnerships with scientists and practitioners are needed to decrease GHG emissions. We implemented

Synergy‐based crop suitability assessment for agrivoltaics: An easy‐to‐use traffic‐light framework for temperate climates

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Climate change and the growing demand for renewable energy are putting increasing pressure on land, as food production and solar power generation often compete for the same areas. In this study, we assessed which temperate‐region crops are best suited for agrivoltaics, a technology combining farming and solar electricity production on the same land. We
