Soil-surface CO2 flux and growth in a boreal Norway spruce stand [PDF]
Global warming is predicted to affect the carbon balance of forests. A change in the carbon balance would give a positive or negative feedback to the greenhouse effect, which would affect global warming.

Migratory birds face considerable temporal and energetic constraints during spring migration. To balance these demands and maximize breeding success, migratory birds may optimize spring migration by adopting a strategy that primarily favors either minimizing time or energy spent on migration.

Changing Snow Regime Classifications Across the Contiguous United States
Climate change is impacting snow phenology in the Contiguous US (CONUS) and altering locations of elevated risk for floods driven by snowmelt. Our study uses a new spatial snow regime classification system to track climate driven changes in snow ...

Hidden Markov Quantile Models With Trends for Analysing Air Temperature Data
There is the question of whether climate change, expressed by time‐trends in temperature, is of a heterogeneous nature or not. Here, the time‐trend heterogeneity argument has been investigated using Hidden Markov (HM) quantile time‐trends models in temperature time series.

Phenology, growth, and fecundity of eight subarctic tundra species in response to snowmelt manipulations [PDF]
The snow cover extent is an important factor for the structure and composition of arctic and alpine tundra communities. Over the last few decades, snowmelt in many arctic and alpine regions has advanced, causing the growing season to start earlier and ...

Species respond to climate change through phenological and spatial shifts. Herbivorous mammals, in particular, are vulnerable due to their direct dependence on seasonal vegetation and the potential misalignment between their reproductive cycles and shifting food availability.

Reduced snow cover at the alpine treeline: resistance and recovery of saplings. [PDF]
Summary At high elevations, tree saplings and shrubs are usually protected by mid‐winter snow cover, although climate change is expected to extend the snow‐free (SF) period. Exposure to winter drought, freeze–thaw events and freezing temperatures will therefore increase, inducing damages to the hydraulic system and to living cells, resulting in reduced

Indicators of Climate Change in the Northeast 2005 [PDF]
Climate changes. It always has and always will. What is unique in modern times is that human activities are now a significant factor causing climate to change.

Annual survival in a dynamic species: pronghorn survival patterns across their northern range
Quantifying variation in demographic patterns, such as survival and recruitment, is critical for understanding population dynamics and informing evidence‐based and adaptive wildlife management. In this study, we leverage an extensive dataset from over 1000 GPS collared pronghorn Antilocapra americana to provide the first large‐scale evaluation of ...
