Journal ArticleDOI
Fingerprints of global warming on wild animals and plants
Terry L. Root,Jeff Price,Kimberly R. Hall,Stephen H. Schneider,Cynthia Rosenzweig,J. Alan Pounds +5 more
TL;DR: A consistent temperature-related shift is revealed in species ranging from molluscs to mammals and from grasses to trees, suggesting that a significant impact of global warming is already discernible in animal and plant populations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Attributing physical and biological impacts to anthropogenic climate change
Cynthia Rosenzweig,David J. Karoly,Marta Vicarelli,Peter Neofotis,Qigang Wu,Gino Casassa,Annette Menzel,Terry L. Root,Nicole Estrella,Bernard Seguin,Piotr Tryjanowski,Chunzhen Liu,Samuel Rawlins,Anton Imeson +13 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that anthropogenic climate change is having a significant impact on physical and biological systems globally and in some continents.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impacts of Extreme Weather and Climate on Terrestrial Biota
TL;DR: In the absence of humans, broad-scale, long-term consequences of climatic warming on wild organisms are generally predictable as mentioned in this paper, but these broad patterns tell us little about the relative importance of gradual climatic trends as compared to extreme weather events in shaping these processes.
Journal ArticleDOI
An Introduction to Trends in Extreme Weather and Climate Events: Observations, Socioeconomic Impacts, Terrestrial Ecological Impacts, and Model Projections*
Gerald A. Meehl,Thomas Karl,David R. Easterling,Stanley A. Changnon,Roger A. Pielke,David Changnon,Jenni L. Evans,Pavel Ya. Groisman,Thomas R. Knutson,Kenneth E. Kunkel,Linda O. Mearns,Camille Parmesan,Roger S. Pulwarty,Terry L. Root,Richard T. Sylves,P. H. Whetton,Francis W. Zwiers +16 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present some indications from observations concerning how climatic extremes may have changed in the past and how they could change in the future either due to natural climate fluctuations or under conditions of greenhouse gas-induced warming.
Journal ArticleDOI
Energy constraints on avian distributions and abundances
TL;DR: In this paper, a regression analysis reveals that the northern boundary metabolic rate (NBMR) is 2.45 times the basal metabolic rate, and that the NBMR to BMR ratio shows little interspecific variation.
