TL;DR: This study presents a framework for assessing three dimensions of climate change vulnerability, namely sensitivity, exposure and adaptive capacity, and finds that high concentration areas for species with traits conferring highest sensitivity and lowest adaptive capacity differ from those of highly exposed species.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors review the past literature on the atmospheric lifetime of fossil fuel CO2 and its impact on climate, and present initial results from a model intercomparison project on this topic.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provided a global estimate of the decline in calcification of coral reefs as a result of increase in sea surface temperature and partial pressure of CO2, which is based on an empirical rate law developed from field observations for gross community calcification as a function of aragonite degree of saturation (Ωarag), sea surface temperatures and live coral cover.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed how different combinations of CO2 and fishing pressure on herbivores will affect the ecological resilience of a simplified benthic reef community, as defined by its capacity to maintain and recover to coral-dominated states.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review published and emerging research that suggests ways in which forestry projects can counteract the consequences associated with biophysical interactions, and highlight knowledge gaps in managing forests for climate protection.
