Human pressures modulate climate-warming-induced changes in size spectra of stream fish communities
Climate warming can negatively affect the body size of ectothermic organisms and, based on known temperature–size rules, tends to benefit...

Atmospheric Influences, Global Warming, and Climate Change
Some of the most subtle but significant impacts of human activities on modern global change processes have occurred as emissions of airborne...

Divergent growth and responses of conifer and broad-leaved trees to warming-drying climate in a semi-arid region, northern China
Forests provide irreplaceable ecosystem services for human society and prevent environmental degradation but climate change has substantially...

Soil properties resulting in superior maize yields upon climate warming
The impacts of global climate warming on maize yield vary regionally. However, less is known about how soil modulates regionally specific impacts and...

Climate warming is significantly influenced by rising summer maximum temperatures: insights from tree-ring evidence of the Western Tianshan Mountains, China
As one of the regions most affected by global climate warming, the Tianshan mountains has experienced several ecological crises, including retreating...

Extreme Drought on the Eastern European Plain during the Early 20th Century Warming: Climate Characteristics and Analogues under the Conditions of Modern Climate
AbstractThe unprecedented anomalies of the annual runoff of the Volga and the Northern Dvina rivers in 1920–1940s are considered in the context of...

Responses of three invasive alien aquatic plant species to climate warming and plant density
Climate warming may impact plant invasion success directly, as well as indirectly through changes among interactions within plant communities....

Climate warming shifts the time interval between flowering and leaf unfolding depending on the warming period
The timing of flowering (FL) and leaf unfolding (LU) determine plants’ reproduction and vegetative growth. Global warming has substantially advanced...

Climate warming exacerbates plant disease through enhancing commensal interaction of co-infested insect vectors
Pathosystems often involve two or more insect vector species; their positive or negative interactions may play key roles in plant pathogen...

Phenological responses of Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel) to climate warming in China based on long-term historical data
It is well accepted that the phenology of insects whose life activities are closely related to temperature is changing in response to global climate...

Sustained population decline of rodents is linked to accelerated climate warming and human disturbance
BackgroundDuring the past three decades, sustained population decline or disappearance of cycles in small rodents have been observed. Both...

Tidal restriction likely has greater impact on the carbon sink of coastal wetland than climate warming and invasive plant
AimsCoastal salt marshes are productive ecosystems that are highly efficient carbon sinks, but there is uncertainty regarding the interactions among...

Plant migration due to winter climate change: range expansion of tropical invasive plants in response to warming winters
Warming winters due to climate change can facilitate the range expansion of invasive non-native species. In the southeastern United States, the...

Climate change-related warming reduces thermal sensitivity and modifies metabolic activity of coastal benthic bacterial communities
Besides long-term average temperature increases, climate change is projected to result in a higher frequency of marine heatwaves. Coastal zones are...
