Summary Priority question exercises are becoming an increasingly common tool to frame future agendas in conservation and ecological science. They effective way identify research foci that advance the field also have high policy relevance. To date, there has been no coherent synthesis of key questions priority areas for palaeoecology, which combines biological, geochemical molecular techniques order reconstruct past environmental systems on time‐scales from decades millions years. We adapted...
Abstract Background The global human footprint has fundamentally altered wildfire regimes, creating serious consequences for health, biodiversity, and climate. However, it remains difficult to project how long-term interactions among land use, management, climate change will affect fire behavior, representing a key knowledge gap sustainable management. We used expert assessment combine opinions about past future regimes from 99 researchers. asked quantitative qualitative assessments of the...
Summary Recent bark beetle outbreaks in North America and Europe have impacted forested landscapes the provisioning of critical ecosystem services. The scale intensity many recent are widely believed to be unprecedented. effects on ecosystems often measured terms area affected, host tree mortality rates, alterations forest structure composition. Impacts human systems focus changes property valuation, infrastructure damage from falling trees, landscape aesthetics, quality quantity timber...
Ongoing changes in disturbance regimes are predicted to cause acute ecosystem structure and function coming decades, but many aspects of these predictions uncertain.A key challenge is improve the predictability post-disturbance biogeochemical trajectories at level.Both ecologists paleoecologists have generated complementary datasets about (type, severity, frequency) response (net primary productivity, nutrient cycling) spanning decadal multi-millennial timescales.Here, we take first steps...
Abstract In light of a modern understanding early Eocene greenhouse climate fluctuations and new highly seasonal fluvial system faces models, the role in evolution one classically-cited continental, terminal lake is re-examined. Detailed stratigraphic description elemental abundance data from fifteen cores seven outcrop regions Green River Formation were used to construct ∼150 km cross section across Uinta Basin, Utah, USA. Lake Basin divided into five phases: (1) post-Paleocene Thermal...
Abstract Paleoenvironmental reconstructions are important for understanding the influence of long-term climate variability on ecosystems and landscape disturbance dynamics. In this paper we explore linkages among past climate, vegetation, fire regimes using a high-resolution pollen charcoal reconstruction from Morris Pond located Markagunt Plateau in southwestern Utah, USA. A regime shift detection algorithm was applied to background accumulation define where statistically significant shifts...
