  • Global Surface Temperature Response to 11-Yr Solar Cycle Forcing Consistent with General Circulation Model Results 

    Amdur, Ted; Stine, Alexander; Huybers, Peter (American Meteorological Society, 2021-04)
    The 11-year solar-cycle is associated with a roughly 1 W m-2 trough-to-peak  variation in total solar irradiance and is expected to produce a global temperature response. The amplitude of this response is, however, ...

  • Merging paleobiology with conservation biology to guide the future of terrestrial ecosystems 

    Barnosky, Anthony D.; Hadly, Elizabeth A.; Gonzalez, Patrick; Head, Jason; Polly, P. David; Lawing, A. Michelle; Eronen, Jussi T.; Ackerly, David D.; Alex, Ken; Biber, Eric; Blois, Jessica; Brashares, Justin; Ceballos, Gerardo; Davis, Edward; Dietl, Gregory P.; Dirzo, Rodolfo; Doremus, Holly; Fortelius, Mikael; Greene, Harry W.; Hellmann, Jessica; Hickler, Thomas; Jackson, Stephen T.; Kemp, Melissa Elizabeth; Koch, Paul L.; Kremen, Claire; Lindsey, Emily L.; Looy, Cindy; Marshall, Charles; Mendenhall, Chase; Mulch, Andreas; Mychajliw, Alexis M.; Nowak, Carsten; Ramakrishnan, Uma; Schnitzler, Jan; Das Shrestha, Kashish; Solari, Katherine; Stegner, Lynn; Stegner, M. Allison; Stenseth, Nils Chr.; Wake, Marvalee H.; Zhang, Zhibin (American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), 2017)
    Conservation of species and ecosystems is increasingly difficult because anthropogenic impacts are pervasive and accelerating. Under this rapid global change, maximizing conservation success requires a paradigm shift from ...

  • Combined Influence of Soil Moisture and Atmospheric Evaporative Demand Is Important for Accurately Predicting US Maize Yields 

    Rigden, A. J.; Mueller, N. D.; Holbrook, N. M.; Pillai, Natesh; Huybers, Peter (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2020-02-18)
    Understanding the response of agriculture to heat and moisture stress is essential to adapt food systems under climate change. Although evidence of crop yield loss with extreme temperature is abundant, disentangling the ...
