Climate change, adaptive capacity and new land innovations implemented by local farmers and indigenous people in Puerto Carreno, Colombia
DownloadFall 2012
A case study research was conducted in the city of Puerto Carreño, Colombia to assess adaptive capacity for the Farmers’ community and indigenous people to face climate change. Some of these inhabitants understand these changes in the weather as natural processes, others as climate change. The...

Climate change, women, and children: Assessing health vulnerability, impacts, and adaptation in the Kavre district, Nepal
DownloadSpring 2024
Nepal is ranked as one of the countries most vulnerable to climate change. Certain Nepalese subpopulations, including women and children, are at higher risk than others and may experience climate change impacts disproportionately due to socioeconomic disparities, gender roles, limited mobility...

Consequences of altered precipitation, warming, and clipping for plant productivity, biodiversity, and grazing resources at three northern temperate grassland sites
DownloadSpring 2013
There is limited understanding about how altered precipitation and warming associated with climate change affect grassland systems. Also, although grasslands commonly support herbivores, it is unclear how grazing influences responses to climate change. To address these knowledge gaps, I carried...

Conserving Alberta’s Biodiversity Under a Changing Climate: A Review and Analysis of Adaptation Measures
Download2014
As a province and a nation we have committed to conserving our native biodiversity. In this discussion paper I examine this goal through the lens of climate change. The intent is to draw attention to issues that need to be addressed and to illustrate options for adapting our current system of...

Coordinated distributed experiments: An emerging tool for testing global hypotheses in ecology and environmental science
Download2013-01-01
Knapp, A. K., Collins, S. L., Turkington, R. , Long, R., White, S., Cahill, J. F., Carlyle, C. N., Beierkuhnlein, C., Luo, Y., Casper, B. B. Cleland, E., Lind, E., Smith, M. D., Henry, H. A. L., Dukes, J. S., Fraser, L. H., Reich, P. B., Sternberg, M.
There is a growing realization among scientists and policy makers that an increased understanding of today's environmental issues requires international collaboration and data synthesis. Meta-analyses have served this role in ecology for more than a decade, but the different experimental...

Coupling mountain pine beetle and forest population dynamics predicts transient outbreaks that are likely to increase in number with climate change
Download2023-09-27
Mountain pine beetle (MPB) in Canada have spread well beyond their historical range. Accurate modelling of the long-term dynamics of MPB is critical for assessing the risk of further expansion and informing management strategies, particularly in the context of climate change and variable forest...

Fall 2010
Bioclimate envelope models are widely used to project potential species habitat under changing climate. Conceptually, these models are also well suited to match natural resource management practices to new climatic realities, for example by guiding species choice in reforestation programs....
