Ecology has joined a world of big data. Two complementary frameworks define big data:
data that exceed the analytical capacities of individuals or disciplines or the “Four Vs” axes …

Global vegetation over the past 18,000 years has been transformed first by the climate
changes that accompanied the last deglaciation and again by increasing human pressures; …

The origin of the temperature divergence between Holocene proxy reconstructions and
model simulations remains controversial, but it possibly results from potential biases in the …

Northern peatlands are an integral part of the global carbon cycle—a strong sink of
atmospheric carbon dioxide and source of methane. Increasing anthropogenic carbon …

Anthropogenic climate change is currently driving environmental transformation on a scale
and at a pace that exceeds historical records. This represents an undeniably serious …

and they provide replicated model systems for analysis of how people affect ecological …

To understand the current biodiversity crisis, it is crucial to determine how humans have
affected biodiversity in the past. However, the extent of human involvement in species …

Impacts of global climate change on terrestrial ecosystems are imperfectly constrained by
ecosystem models and direct observations. Pervasive ecosystem transformations occurred …
