TL;DR: In this article, two structurally distinct oscillation quenching types: oscillation (O D ) and amplitude death (A D ) are distinguished, and the importance for their correct identification from the aspect of theory as well as of applications is demonstrated.

TL;DR: In this article, two types of impacts on human and ecological systems are examined: (i) impacts of extreme weather and climate events; and (ii) extreme impacts triggered by less-than-extreme weather or climate events (in combination with nonclimatic factors, such as high exposure and/or vulnerability).
Abstract: In this chapter, two different types of impacts on human and ecological systems are examined: (i) impacts of extreme weather and climate events; and (ii) extreme impacts triggered by less-than-extreme weather or climate events (in combination with non-climatic factors, such as high exposure and/or vulnerability). Where data are available, impacts are examined from sectoral and regional perspectives.

TL;DR: Christiana Figueres and colleagues set out a six-point plan for turning the tide of the world's carbon dioxide by 2020, which aims to reduce emissions by 40% by 2020.

TL;DR: This paper studies synchronization via pinning control on general complex dynamical networks, such as strongly connected networks, networks with a directed spanning tree, weaklyconnected networks, and directed forests, finding that the strongly connected components with very few connections from other components should be controlled and the components with many connections fromother components can achieve synchronization even without controls.
Abstract: This paper studies synchronization via pinning control on general complex dynamical networks, such as strongly connected networks, networks with a directed spanning tree, weakly connected networks, and directed forests. A criterion for ensuring network synchronization on strongly connected networks is given. It is found that the vertices with very small in-degrees should be pinned first. In addition, it is shown that the original condition with controllers can be reformulated such that it does not depend on the form of the chosen controllers, which implies that the vertices with very large out-degrees may be pinned. Then, a criterion for achieving synchronization on networks with a directed spanning tree, which can be composed of many strongly connected components, is derived. It is found that the strongly connected components with very few connections from other components should be controlled and the components with many connections from other components can achieve synchronization even without controls...

TL;DR: The results underscore the importance of climate–vegetation–carbon cycle feedbacks at high latitudes and indicate that in recent decades, photosynthetic carbon uptake has reacted much more strongly to warming than have carbon release processes.
Abstract: Atmospheric monitoring of high northern latitudes (above 40°N) has shown an enhanced seasonal cycle of carbon dioxide (CO2) since the 1960s, but the underlying mechanisms are not yet fully understood. The much stronger increase in high latitudes relative to low ones suggests that northern ecosystems are experiencing large changes in vegetation and carbon cycle dynamics. We found that the latitudinal gradient of the increasing CO2 amplitude is mainly driven by positive trends in photosynthetic carbon uptake caused by recent climate change and mediated by changing vegetation cover in northern ecosystems. Our results underscore the importance of climate-vegetation-carbon cycle feedbacks at high latitudes; moreover, they indicate that in recent decades, photosynthetic carbon uptake has reacted much more strongly to warming than have carbon release processes.
