Assessing variability and long-term trends in burned area by merging multiple satellite fire products

Kasibhatla, Prasad (COPERNICUS GESELLSCHAFT MBH, 2010)

Long term, high quality estimates of burned area are needed for improving both prognostic and diagnostic fire emissions models and for assessing feedbacks between fire and the climate system. We developed global, monthly ...
Data Archiving

Rausher, Mark (UNIV CHICAGO PRESS, 2010)
Low Demographic Variability in Wild Primate Populations: Fitness Impacts of Variation, Covariation, and Serial Correlation in Vital Rates

Morris, William; Alberts, Susan (UNIV CHICAGO PRESS, 2011)

In a stochastic environment, long-term fitness can be influenced by variation, covariation, and serial correlation in vital rates (survival and fertility). Yet no study of an animal population has parsed the contributions ...
On nestedness in ecological networks

Joppa, Lucas N.; Pimm, Stuart (EVOLUTIONARY ECOLOGY LTD, 2010)

Questions: Are interaction patterns in species interaction networks different from what one expects by chance alone? In particular. are these networks nested a pattern where resources taken by more specialized consumers ...
The role of tectonic uplift, climate, and vegetation in the long-term terrestrial phosphorous cycle

Porporato, Amilcare (COPERNICUS GESELLSCHAFT MBH, 2010)

Phosphorus (P) is a crucial element for life and therefore for maintaining ecosystem productivity. Its local availability to the terrestrial biosphere results from the interaction between climate, tectonic uplift, atmospheric ...
Sustainable Product Indexing: Navigating the Challenge of Ecolabeling

Golden, Jay; Pratson, Lincoln (RESILIENCE ALLIANCE, 2010)

There is growing scientific evidence that improving the sustainability of consumer products can lead to significant gains in global sustainability. Historically, environmental policy has been managed by bureaucracies and ...
