Climate and nutrient influences on the growth of white spruce trees in the boreal forests of the Yukon
Download2008
Krebs, C.J., Boonstra, R., Desantis, L., Hik, D.S.
The boreal forests of North America are undergoing major changes because of the direct effects of global warming and increased CO2 levels. Plant production in the boreal forest is nutrient limited, and we examined how long-term fertilization affected growth of white spruce Picea glauca in the...

Many autecological effects of temperature on fish are known, and fishery biologists have begun to incorporate this knowledge into population-level relations that can be used to assess possible effects of climatic warming on fishes and their habitats. However, the problem of extrapolating these or...

Climate change could alter the distribution of mountain pine beetle outbreaks in western Canada
Download2012-01-01
Sambaraju, Kishan R., Carroll, Allan L., Zhu, Jun, Stahl, Kerstin, Moore, R. Dan, Aukema, Brian H.
Climate change can markedly impact biology, population ecology, and spatial patterns of eruptive insects due to the direct influence of temperature on insect development and population success. The mountain pine beetle Dendroctonus ponderosae (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), is a landscape-altering...

Climate Change Impacts on Stoichiometry, Phytoplankton, and Zooplankton in Alpine Lake Food Webs
DownloadFall 2013
The main hypothesis of this study was that warmer and drier conditions affect fishless alpine lakes by increasing (1) phosphorus (P)-availability, (2) P-limited autotrophs versus mixotrophic phytoflagellates, and (3) fast-growing P-limited cladocerans versus slower-growing nitrogen (N)-rich...

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...
