Thresholds for ecological responses to global change do not emerge from empirical data
To understand ecosystem responses to anthropogenic global change, a prevailing
framework is the definition of threshold levels of pressure, above which response …

Community‐and ecosystem‐level effects of multiple environmental change drivers: Beyond null model testing
F De Laender - Global change biology, 2018 - Wiley Online Library
Understanding the joint effect of multiple drivers of environmental change is a key scientific
challenge. The dominant approach today is to compare observed joint effects with …

Low statistical power and overestimated anthropogenic impacts, exacerbated by publication bias, dominate field studies in global change biology
Field studies are essential to reliably quantify ecological responses to global change
because they are exposed to realistic climate manipulations. Yet such studies are limited in …

Beyond realism in climate change experiments: gradient approaches identify thresholds and tipping points
Experimental evidence for impacts of increased climatic variability and extremes on
ecosystems is urgently needed. The constraint in our knowledge, however, is not caused by …

[HTML][HTML] Increased sensitivity to climate change in disturbed ecosystems
Human domination of the biosphere includes changes to disturbance regimes, which push
many ecosystems towards early-successional states. Ecological theory predicts that early …

Advances in global change research require open science by individual researchers
EM Wolkovich, J Regetz, MI O'Connor - Global Change Biology, 2012 - Wiley Online Library
Understanding how species and ecosystems respond to climate change requires spatially
and temporally rich data for a diverse set of species and habitats, combined with models that …

Do global change experiments overestimate impacts on terrestrial ecosystems?
In recent decades, many climate manipulation experiments have investigated biosphere
responses to global change. These experiments typically examined effects of elevated …

The response of terrestrial ecosystems to global climate change: towards an integrated approach
LE Rustad - Science of the total environment, 2008 - Elsevier
Accumulating evidence points to an anthropogenic 'fingerprint'on the global climate change

A framework for quantifying the magnitude and variability of community responses to global change drivers
A major challenge in global change ecology is to predict the trajectory and magnitude of
community change in response to global change drivers (GCDs). Here, we present a new …
