A globally coherent fingerprint of climate change impacts across natural systems

Article Abstract:

Researchers at the University of Texas (Austin) and Wesleyan University (Middletown, Connecticut) have found that recent biological trends match climate change predictions. Global meta-analyse s (intended to overcome short-term, localized trends due to non-climatic factors) indicate that species ranges are moving 6.1 km/decade toward the poles or 6.1 meters upward/decade. Significant spring events are occurring 2.3 days earlier each decade.

Ecology: clouded futures

Article Abstract:

Global warming, projected to the year 2050, could sharply increase extinction probabilities for a sample of 1,103 species representing terrestrial regions from Mexico to Australia. Application of a basic law of ecology predicts, that species of plants and animals could vanish if temperatures continue to rise.

Fingerprints of global warming on wild animals and plants

Article Abstract:

Researchers in the US and Costa Rica have analyzed data from 143 studies and have found that animal and plant populations are moving as would be expected from global warming, indicating that glo bal warming is already affecting wild populations.
