...Daniel Puig Climate change impacts can lead to irreversible losses for which there is no possible substitute, such as the loss of homelands, unique landscapes, or biological species. What constitutes loss, why, and for whom may vary substantially depending on the specific loss concerned...

...Francis A. Galgano Water scarcity and its management have emerged as critical factors shaping the global security landscape, especially in transboundary river basins. Population growth is outstripping water supply, and climate change is affecting it as well. Since 1990, freshwater resources have...

...Samuel A. Krebs; Karin E. Limburg; Michael L. Schummer The rate of sea-level rise (SLR) has increased due to climate change, affecting coastal salt marshes. It is uncertain if species can persist with rapid SLR compounded with other effects of climate change and human activity. SLR-induced habitat...

...Matthew Houser Improving the use efficiency of nitrogen fertilizer is one of the most effective ways to mitigate agriculture’s contributions to climate change and water-quality degradation. However, studies suggest that many farmers worldwide are exceeding annual-profitable nitrogen rates and thus...

...Katy Vieira; Amanda McMillan Lequieu Researchers are predicting that the spatially uneven distribution of climate change risks will further exacerbate the inequalities of environmental change in the coming decades. This case study of coffee offers a window into the feedback loops of ecological...

As a result of this case study and answering the corresponding questions, readers will be able to identify modern approaches to mosquito control based on an ecological...

...Andrew Marx; Donald McFarlane The migration of vegetation under the influence of climate change is of great interest to ecologists, but can be difficult to quantify—especially in less accessible landscapes. Monitoring land cover change through remote sensing has become the best solution, especially...
