Failure to migrate: lack of tree range expansion in response to climate change
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compare the present latitudes of seedlings and adult trees at their range limits using large-scale forest inventory data and find no consistent evidence that population spread is greatest in areas where climate has changed most; nor are patterns related to seed size or dispersal characteristics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reversal of ocean acidification enhances net coral reef calcification

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a manipulation experiment in which sodium hydroxide was added to seawater flowing over a natural coral reef community in situ and showed that when ocean chemistry was restored closer to pre-industrial conditions, net community calcification increased, indicating that ocean acidification may already be impairing coral reef growth.
Journal ArticleDOI
Asymmetric responses of primary productivity to precipitation extremes: A synthesis of grassland precipitation manipulation experiments

TL;DR: Policy and land management decisions related to global change scenarios should consider how ANPP and BNPP responses may differ, and that ecosystem responses to extreme events might not be predicted from relationships found under moderate environmental changes.
Journal ArticleDOI
More than the sum of the parts: forest climate response from joint species distribution models
TL;DR: This work introduces a joint species distribution modeling approach (JSDM), which is unique in three ways, and applies it to forests of eastern North America, which shows that climate can have greatest impact in the Northeast, due to temperature, and in the Upper Midwest,Due to temperature and precipitation.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this article, high-energy electron beams can significantly alter perovskite properties through two distinct mechanisms: defect formation caused by irradiation damage and phase transformation induced by electron-beam heating.
