Coupling biogeochemical cycles in urban environments: ecosystem services, green solutions, and misconceptions
Diane E. Pataki,Margaret M. Carreiro,Jennifer Cherrier,Nancy Grulke,Viniece Jennings,Stephanie Pincetl,Richard V. Pouyat,Thomas H. Whitlow,Wayne C. Zipperer +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a framework to integrate biogeochemical processes into designing, implementing, and evaluating the net effectiveness of green infrastructure, and provide examples for GHG mitigation, stormwater runoff mitigation, and improvements in air quality and health.

Donner,Vineet Katariya,Rodolphe Bernard,Robert A. Holland,Adrian Hughes,Susannah E. O’Hanlon,Stephen T. Garnett,Çağan H. Şekercioğlu,Georgina M. Mace +19 more
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
In hot water: zooplankton and climate change
TL;DR: In this article, an overview of the observed and potential future responses of zooplankton communities to global warming is provided, including changes in the distribution of individual species and assemblages, in the timing of important life cycle events, and in abundance and community structure.

The impact of climate change and weather on transport: An overview of empirical findings
Mark J. Koetse,Piet Rietveld +1 more
TL;DR: A survey of the empirical literature on the effects of climate change and weather conditions on the transport sector can be found in this paper, where clear patterns are that precipitation affects road safety by increasing accident frequency but decreasing severity.

TL;DR: Responding to climate change will likely require that the quantitative traits of populations again match their environments, and it is found that genetic differentiation between populations and clinal variation along environmental gradients were very common.
