Populations of wild animals face the challenge of surviving in a changing climate.

Reducing Impact Of Climate Change On Estuaries, Forests, Wetlands And Coral Reefs
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has released a report that can help reduce the potential impact of climate change on estuaries, forests, wetlands, coral reefs, and other sensitive ecosystems.

Climate Influences Deep Sea Populations

A study reveals that while a majority of U.S. health department directors believe their city or county will have serious public health problems as a result of climate change within the next 20 years

Impact of climate change on radial growth of Siberian spruce and Scots pine in North-western Russia
When adapting forest management practices to a changing environment, it is very important to understand the response of an unmanaged natural forest to climate change.

Persistence and photochemical decay of springtime total ozone anomalies in the Canadian Middle Atmosphere Model
The persistence and decay of springtime total ozone anomalies over the entire extratropics (midlatitudes plus polar regions) is analysed using results from the Canadian Middle Atmosphere Model

The germination ecology of four Papaver taxa was studied with the aim of describing and comparing their responses to different seasonal temperature regimes.

Intra-annual radial growth and water relations of trees: implications towards a growth mechanism
A concept is discussed which links radial growth over a feedback loop to actual tree water-relations and long-term affected C-storage to microclimate.

Changing Heat-Related Mortality in the United States
Increasing heat and humidity, at least partially related to anthropogenic climate change, suggest that a long-term increase in heat-related mortality could occur.

Coral reef reveals history of fickle weather in the central Pacific
Close examination of coral reef reveals that when the rest of the world was experiencing warm weather, the Pacific was cold.
