Earlier springs decrease peak summer productivity in North American boreal forests
In the northern high latitudes, alternative hypotheses with regards to how warming-related shifts in seasonality influence ecosystem productivity exist. Increased plant growth associated with a longer growing season may enhance ecosystem productivity, but shifts to earlier springs may also negatively influence soil moisture status and productivity during the peak of the growing season. Here, we analyzed nearly three decades (1982–2008) of observa…
Practical sustainability criteria for decision-making
The new paradigm of sustainability necessitates revisions to traditional decision-making processes. This paper, which is the first in a series of four, outlines the changes required for decision-making to reflect sustainability concerns. Three sustainability criteria, that are the focus of the three subsequent papers, are introduced and the rationale for each is explained. A framework for incorporating the three sustainability criteria into the d…
Reversibility as a sustainability criterion for project selection
Integration of sustainability issues into the project selection process requires new approaches to decision-making. A framework is proposed for measuring reversibility as one component for achieving this goal. Reversibility in the context of this research is defined as the degree to which the aggregated set of anticipated or unanticipated impacts of a development project can be mitigated. Several concepts found in the sustainable development lite…
