  • Degradation and deforestation increase the sensitivity of the Amazon Forest to climate extremes

    Open AccessMarcos Longo, Michael Keller et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2025

    About 40% of the Brazilian Amazon has been deforested or suffered changes in forest structure through degradation (selective logging, fires, and fragmentation). The impact of forest degradation on the forest’s sensitivity to climate extremes has not been fully explored because of a lack of data and the complex interplay of forest structure and climate drivers. Here, we combined forest structure data from 545 airborne lidar transects (375 ha each)…

  • WMel replacement of dengue-competent mosquitoes is robust to near-term climate change

    Open AccessVáleri Vásquez, Lara M Kueppers et al.ARTICLENature Climate Change2023

    Rising temperatures are impacting the range and prevalence of mosquito-borne diseases. A promising biocontrol technology replaces wild mosquitoes with those carrying the virus-blocking Wolbachia bacterium. Because the most widely used strain, w Mel, is adversely affected by heat stress, we examined how global warming may influence w Mel-based replacement. We simulated interventions in two locations with successful field trials using Coupled Model…

  • Recent California tree mortality portends future increase in drought-driven forest die-off

    Open AccessGavin D Madakumbura, Michael L Goulden et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2020

    Vegetation tolerance to drought depends on an array of site-specific environmental and plant physiological factors. This tolerance is poorly understood for many forest types despite its importance for predicting and managing vegetation stress. We analyzed the relationships between precipitation variability and forest die-off in California’s Sierra Nevada and introduce a new measure of drought tolerance that emphasizes plant access to subsurface m…

  • Increased heat waves with loss of irrigation in the United States

    Open AccessYaqiong Lü, Lara M Kueppers et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2015

    A potential decline in irrigation due to groundwater depletion or insufficient surface water would not only directly affect agriculture, but also could alter surface climate. In this study we investigated how loss of irrigation affects heat wave frequency, duration, and intensity across fifteen heat wave indices (HINs) using a regional climate model that incorporated dynamic crop growth. Averaged across all indices, loss of irrigation increased h…

  • Protecting climate with forests

    Open AccessRobert B Jackson, James T Randerson et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2008

    Policies for climate mitigation on land rarely acknowledge biophysical factors, such as reflectivity, evaporation, and surface roughness. Yet such factors can alter temperatures much more than carbon sequestration does, and often in a conflicting way. We outline a framework for examining biophysical factors in mitigation policies and provide some best-practice recommendations based on that framework. Tropical projects—avoided deforestation, fores…
