The Toxicology Investigators Consortium 2023 Annual ReportNARA Subscribed
A millennium of climatic and floristic dynamics in the Eastern Cordillera of the Colombian AndesNARA Subscribed
Aim The transition from the Medieval Climate Anomaly (MCA, 950–1250 CE) to the Little Ice Age (LIA, 1350–1800 CE) is the largest pre‐industrial climate shift within the last two millennia, offering an opportunity to study how vegetation responds to rapid climate change. We analysed a sedimentary record from the Colombian Andes to reconstruct regional vegetation dynamics during this time interval, identify the modern environmen...
Agricultural breadbaskets shift poleward given adaptive farmer behavior under climate changeNARA Subscribed
Modern food production is spatially concentrated in global “breadbaskets.” A major unresolved question is whether these peak production regions will shift poleward as the climate warms, allowing some recovery of potential climate‐related losses. While agricultural impacts studies to date have focused on currently cultivated land, the Global Gridded Crop Model Intercomparison Project (GGCMI) Phase 2 experiment allows us to asse...
Beginning in 2015, the United States Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA’s) National Estuary Program (NEP) started a collaboration with partners in seven estuaries along the East Coast (Barnegat Bay; Casco Bay), West Coast (Santa Monica Bay; San Francisco Bay; Tillamook Bay), and the Gulf of Mexico (GOM) Coast (Tampa Bay; Mission-Aransas Estuary) of the United States to expand the use of autonomous monitoring of partial pre...
Efforts to limit global warming to below 2°C in relation to the pre‐industrial level are under way, in accordance with the 2015 Paris Agreement. However, most impact research on agriculture to date has focused on impacts of warming >2°C on mean crop yields, and many previous studies did not focus sufficiently on extreme events and yield interannual variability. Here, with the latest climate scenarios from the Half a degree Add...
Climate change impact and adaptation for wheat proteinNARA Subscribed
Wheat grain protein concentration is an important determinant of wheat quality for human nutrition that is often overlooked in efforts to improve crop production. We tested and applied a 32‐multi‐model ensemble to simulate global wheat yield and quality in a changing climate. Potential benefits of elevated atmospheric CO 2 concentration by 2050 on global wheat grain and protein yield are likely to be negated by impacts from ri...
Acoustic classification of dolphins in the California Current using whistles, echolocation clicks, and burst pulsesNARA Subscribed
Passive acoustic monitoring of dolphins is limited by our ability to classify calls to species. Significant overlap in call characteristics among many species, combined with a wide range of call types and acoustic behavior, makes classification of calls to species challenging. Here, we introduce BANTER , a compound acoustic classification method for dolphins that utilizes information from all call types produced by dolphins ra...
