The relative abundance of crop and natural food influences crop consumption by brown bears
Many mammalian species now inhabit anthropogenic landscapes, and human–wildlife conflicts, particularly pertaining to crop damage, have become a significant issue. To develop more effective measures to limit crop damage caused by wildlife, it is crucial to identify how natural and anthropogenic food availability affect crop use by wildlife in the ...

Upper Rio Grande Streamflow, Climate, and Recent Increases in Runoff Efficiency
Abstract The Rio Grande is the main source of surface water supply for south‐central Colorado and much of New Mexico, with obligations via interstate and international treaties to Texas and Mexico. Recent drought conditions exacerbated by a warming climate have increased demand for this limited water supply.

Identifying future climate refugia in central European mountain forests
Forest refugia decrease under climate change. Difference in refugia potential between RCP 4.5 and historical climate (left) and RCP 8.5 and historical climate (right) in the Berchtesgaden National Park (Germany). Forests are under increasing pressure from anthropogenic climate change, causing profound shifts in species ranges and forest community ...

We question why Picea glehnii dominates serpentine forests in Hokkaido. First, based on functional trait measurements and a comparison with another coniferous species present in the region, Abies sachalinensis, we report preliminary results consistent with better adaptation of P. glehnii to serpentine soils.
