Quantifying ecosystem carbon fluxes and stocks is essential for better understanding the
global carbon cycle and improving projections of the carbon-climate feedbacks. Remote …

BACKGROUND Earth system models (ESMs) simulate physical, chemical, and biological
processes that underlie climate and are the most complex in a hierarchy of models of Earth's …

Chapter 2, building on prior assessments, provides a global assessment of the observed
impacts and projected risks of climate change to terrestrial and freshwater ecosystems …

Abstract In coniferous western forests, recent widespread tree mortality provided
opportunities to test the long-held theory that forest cover loss increases water yield. We …

Increasing evidence indicates that forest disturbances are changing in response to global
change, yet local variability in disturbance remains high. We quantified this considerable …

Terrestrial disturbances are accelerating globally, but their full impact is not quantified
because we lack an adequate monitoring system. Remote sensing offers a means to …

Identifying the relative importance of climatic and other environmental controls on the
interannual variability and trends in global land surface phenology and greenness is …

The European spruce bark beetle Ips typographus, L.(hereafter bark beetle), causes major
economic loss to the forest industry in Europe, especially in Norway Spruce (Picea abies) …

Recent bark beetle epidemics have caused regional‐scale tree mortality in many snowmelt‐
dominated headwater catchments of western North America. Initial expectations of …

Snow sublimation is an important component of the snow mass balance, but the spatial and
temporal variability of this process is not well understood in mountain environments. This …
