The free‐air CO 2 enrichment (FACE) site at the Birmingham Institute of Forest Research (BIFoR) is situated in a long‐established mature, temperate oak‐dominated forest. Over the past 8 years, these tree species have been exposed to elevated CO 2 (eCO 2 target: 150 ppm above ambient). The observed eCO 2 fertilization effect is significant in the mature oak trees, with sustained increases in photosynthesis and stem dry matter p...

Resource selection functions (RSFs) have been widely applied to animal tracking data to examine relative habitat selection and to help guide management and conservation strategies. While readily used in terrestrial ecology, RSFs have yet to be extensively used within marine systems. As acoustic telemetry continues to be a pervasive approach within marine environments, incorporation of RSFs can provide new insights to help prio...

We use the Weather Research and Forecast model and estimate anthropogenic heat ( AH ) fluxes based on fine‐scale energy consumption data for Sydney, Australia, to investigate the effects of urbanization on temperature. We examine both the impact of urban canopy effects ( UCE ) and AH which in combination causes the urban heat island effect. Sydney's urban heat island ( UHI ) varies from −1 to >3.4 °C between day and night and...
