Climate change and the future of western US water governance

Dylan R. Hedden-Nicely

Summary: Water management in the western United States is based on an adversarial system and reforms are necessary to ensure efficient, resilient, and equitable management in the face of climate change.

Foundation species promote local adaptation and fine-scale distribution of herbaceous plants

Michael J. O'Brien et al.

Summary: The study found that seed germination was higher in the original microsite, although recruitment was weakened. For A. armerina, plants from the most productive microsite had distinct trait values; while F. indigesta showed significant trait plasticity in different environmental conditions.

In vino veritas, in aqua lucrum: Farmland investment, environmental uncertainty, and groundwater access in California's Cuyama Valley

Madeleine Fairbairn et al.

Summary: This paper examines how farmland investors turn environmental uncertainty into an advantage, exploiting both temporal uncertainties associated with resource management under climate change and spatial uncertainties inherent to all subsurface resources. The case study reveals that investors assert their preferred land imaginaries and improve property values through participation in groundwater governance and the establishment of water-related infrastructure. Material and legal uncertainties of groundwater access provide a potentially lucrative opening for investors to leverage in farmland investment.

Protect, manage and then restore lands for climate mitigation

Susan C. Cook-Patton et al.

Summary: Natural climate solutions are crucial in mitigating climate change and meeting climate goals. However, different solutions vary in terms of mitigation potential, cost-effectiveness, and co-benefits, emphasizing the need for prioritization and consideration of different criteria.

Habitat heterogeneity affects the thermal ecology of an endangered lizard

Nicole Gaudenti et al.

Summary: The study shows that the Blunt-nosed Leopard Lizard in the desert faces major activity restrictions due to thermal constraints, but large shade-providing shrubs can act as thermal buffers. Lizards without access to large shrubs spend more time sheltering inside rodent burrows, especially during hot summer months. Lizards in shrubbed sites have higher midday body temperatures and poorer thermoregulatory accuracy, indicating a potential trade-off between surface activity and thermoregulation.

Analysis of the time-lag effects of climate factors on grassland productivity in Inner Mongolia

Haixin Liu et al.

Summary: Understanding the time-lag responses of grassland productivity to climate change is crucial for predicting future grassland productivity. A new analytical method was developed to study the lag effects of climate change, revealing a lag effect of approximately 3 months for temperature and precipitation on grassland productivity. The contribution rates of temperature and precipitation to net primary productivity decrease gradually from positive to negative over a 0-3 month lag period.

Biodiversity and ecosystem functioning: Have our experiments and indices been underestimating the role of facilitation?

Alexandra J. Wright et al.

Summary: Through experiments and mechanistic approaches, positive relationships between biodiversity and ecosystem functioning are studied. In addition to competition and resource partitioning, various facilitative mechanisms are identified, such as reduction of species-specific pathogens and improvement of soil nutrient cycling.

Woody-biomass projections and drivers of change in sub-Saharan Africa

C. Wade Ross et al.

Summary: This study explores the socioenvironmental conditions shaping the distribution of woody vegetation in sub-Saharan Africa and evaluates ecosystem responses to various scenarios. Climate change is projected to have a negative impact on above-ground woody biomass, exacerbated by population growth, human pressures, and changes in fire behavior. Regional perturbations show increased carbon storage potential in East Africa, while deficits are seen in West, Central, and Southern Africa.

Warming as a Driver of Vegetation Loss in the Sonoran Desert of California

Stijn Hantson et al.

Summary: Dryland ecosystems cover large regions of the Earth and have significant impacts on global biogeochemistry and the carbon cycle. Recent research in southern California's Sonoran Desert and adjacent mountains shows a large decrease in vegetation cover over the past 34 years, with climate warming implicated as a major driver.

Determinants of community compositional change are equally affected by global change

Meghan L. Avolio et al.

Summary: Global change is impacting plant community composition through various mechanisms, such as changes in evenness and richness, reordering, species gains and losses. The study found that the majority of communities were affected by global change treatments, especially those exposed to multiple global change drivers. All mechanisms of community change were equally likely to be affected by global change treatments, highlighting the need for a comprehensive approach to measuring community changes.

Reconciling resilience across ecological systems, species and subdisciplines

Pol Capdevila et al.

Summary: Resilience has become a critical concept in ecology and conservation biology to understand ecosystem responses to global change. The Special Feature provides an overview of ecologists' approaches to defining, quantifying, comparing, and predicting resilience across different study systems. A trans-disciplinary consensus on defining and measuring resilience is crucial for future resilience research.

The shrub Ephedra californica facilitates arthropod communities along a regional desert climatic gradient

Jenna Braun et al.

Summary: This study examined the relationship between arthropod communities and vegetation in arid regions of California, finding that the canopy of Ephedra californica contributes to increased arthropod abundance and species richness. Vegetation cover on the soil surface negatively influences arthropod abundance.

Increasing precipitation variability on daily-to-multiyear time scales in a warmer world

Wenxia Zhang et al.

Summary: The hydrological cycle intensifies under global warming, leading to increased precipitation and wetter and more variable hydroclimate on approximately two-thirds of Earth's land. The amplification of precipitation variability is particularly prominent in climatologically wet regions, posing an additional challenge to climate resilience.
