Ecography, EarlyView.Where early successional forests are more flammable than old‐growth forests, forested landscapes are vulnerable to shifting into ‘fire traps' through positive feedbacks, where fire leads to more fire. These feedbacks are amplified by increased flammability driven by climate change, the presence of non‐native flammable plant species, and slowed ...

Glacier runoff impacts the stoichiometry of riverine nutrient export from coastal Alaskan catchments
Communications Earth & EnvironmentUnderstanding the impacts of glacier change on riverine ecosystems is limited by a lack of multi-year studies in glacierized mountain catchments quantifying the magnitude and stoichiometry of riverine biogeochemical yields.

, 2002 An important point was to see the rainforest project in relation to other papers compare findings, weaknesses, strengths, doubts, reflections, and so assess our project anew. This highlights the strength of this project, located in complexity and diversity of content, methods and media and reconfirmed that project is on the ‘right path’, despite of ...

Ecology and Evolution, 2019 Wet‐sclerophyll forests are unique ecosystems that can transition to dry‐sclerophyll forests or to rainforests. Understanding of the dynamics of these forests for conservation is limited. We evaluated the long‐term succession of wet‐sclerophyll forest on

The importance of forest structure for carbon fluxes of the Amazon rainforest
, 2018 Precise descriptions of forest productivity, biomass, and structure are essential for understanding ecosystem responses to climatic and anthropogenic changes. However, relations between these components are complex, in particular for tropical forests. We

Green swans and blue skies: Climate change and insolvency risk for financial institutions
International Insolvency Review, EarlyView.Abstract This lecture in honour of the late Gabriel Moss QC and Ian Fletcher QC examines the challenge of climate‐related financial risk. Prudential regulators and central banks recognize that the systemic nature of climate‐related financial risk makes it an emerging vulnerability relevant to cross‐border insolvency resolution.
