Global climate change will likely modify the plant assemblages of the Neotropical seasonally dry forest based on the physiological capabilities of the species. Abstract Neotropical seasonal dry forest (NSDF) is one of the most threatened ecosystems according to global climate change predictions.

Projecting atmospheric N2O rise until the end of the 21st century: an Earth System Model study
Nitrous Oxide (N _2 O) is a potent greenhouse gas with a centennial-scale lifetime that contributes significantly to global warming. It is emitted from natural and anthropogenic sources.

Climate Change Agricultural Comparative Advantage and the US Trade Balance
ABSTRACTCurrent science indicates that warming and elevated atmospheric CO2 will have ambiguous results for crop productivity depending on crop type and geographic location, whereas increased heat stress makes livestock and human labor less productive.

Zone Matcher: A climate‐based web application for deployment and assisted migration of forest trees
Abstract Populations of forest trees are generally adapted to the climates they inhabit. The farther trees are moved from their local climates, the more long‐term growth and survival tend to decrease. Current tree deployment and assisted migration rely on “climate distance thresholds” (CDTs), which are climatic distances beyond which tree performance ...

A low energy demand scenario for meeting the 1.5 °C target and sustainable development goals without negative emission technologies [PDF]
Scenarios that limit global warming to 1.5 °C describe major transformations in energy supply and ever-rising energy demand. Here, we provide a contrasting perspective by developing a narrative of future change based on observable trends that results in ...

Developing Robust Management Pathways for Nutrient Pollution in Watersheds Under Climate Uncertainty
Abstract Nutrient management represents an enduring effort toward sustainability. However, long‐term management planning faces notable challenges, mainly due to substantial investments required under uncertainty of forthcoming climate. To address these challenges, this paper proposes and tests a Multi‐climate‐scenario (MCS) Multi‐epoch Multi‐objective ...
