Why Worry about Climate Change? A Research Agenda (2008, neutral): “This hampers interpretation of past observations (and hence model building), complicates making projections of the future, and muddles the attribution of impacts to causes (Parmesan and Yohe, 2003; Root et al., 2003).”
Role of winter temperature and climate change on the survival and future range expansion of the hemlock woolly adelgid (Adelges tsugae) in eastern North America (2008, background): “and abundance, phenology, and morphology (Logan and Bentz 1999; Parmesan and Yohe 2003; Root et al. 2003; Stireman et al. 2005).”
Net effects of multiple stressors in freshwater ecosystems: a meta‐analysis (2016, background): “…effects of stressors across many marine ecosystems (Crain et al., 2008; Darling & Cote, 2008; Harvey et al., 2013; Ban et al., 2014) attests to an urgent need to fill knowledge gaps in freshwater ecosystems (Root et al., 2003; Ormerod et al., 2010; Staudt et al., 2013; Hering et al., 2015).”
Temperature‐dependent interactions explain unexpected responses to environmental warming in communities of competitors (2004, background): “Increasing evidence suggests that recent climate warming has already affected various aspects of ecological communities, including organism phenology, species abundance and distribution, population dynamics and community- and ecosystem-level properties (reviewed in Hughes 2000; McCarty 2001; Stenset”
The freezer defrosting: global warming and litter decomposition rates in cold biomes (2006, background): “Distribution changes that are caused by climate change are often related to species-specific physiological thresholds of temperature and precipitation tolerance (Root et al. 2003), but also to changing biotic interactions (Cornelissen et al. 2001).”
Ecological and Evolutionary Consequences of Environmental Change and Management Actions for Migrating Fish (2019, background): “Mobile organisms (including fishes) may respond to temporal environmental changes (or altered demands) by dispersing to habitats with more suitable conditions, which might ultimately result in range expansions, distribution shifts (Parmesan and Yohe, 2003; Root et al., 2003; Cooke et al., 2004; Perr”
Thermal history-dependent expression of the hsp70 gene in purple sea urchins: Biogeographic patterns and the effect of temperature acclimation (2005, neutral): “The effect of temperature on community assemblages in particular has recently become very relevant, as many studies have shown that the Earth’s recent increase in average temperature has coincided with a pole-ward shift of many species ranges (Root et al., 2003).”
Inter-comparison of four models for smoothing satellite sensor time-series data to estimate vegetation phenology (2012, background): “…three decades of satellite sensor observations suggest that spring has advanced globally at a rate of 2 to 5 days per decade (Parmesan & Yohe, 2003; Root et al., 2003) and that senescence has been delayed by 0.3 to 1.6 days per decade (Menzel, 2002) mostly attributable to recent increases in…”
Leaf phenology in 22 North American tree species during the 21st century (2009, background): “, 2006), and reported examples are more numerous every year (Beaubien & Freeland, 2000; Abu-Asab et al., 2001; Walther et al., 2001; Ahas et al., 2002; Penuelas & Boada, 2003; Root et al., 2003; Defila & Clot, 2005; Wolfe et al., 2005; Menzel et al., 2006).”
Climate-dependent evolution of Antarctic ectotherms: An integrative analysis (2006, background): “Similarly, current analyses of the effects of climate change on marine ecosystems have revealed that present-day effects of global warming on the biosphere are associated with shifts in the geographical distribution of ectothermic animals along a latitudinal cline or with poleward or high-altitude e”
Advances in global change research require open science by individual researchers (2012, background): “In global change research, synthesis efforts have been critical to showing how climate change impacts ecological systems (Root et al., 2003; Rosenzweig et al., 2008), with long-term time-series data (Hegerl et al., 2010) acting as the standard for detecting and attributing biological shifts to…”
Climate change and freshwater biodiversity: detected patterns, future trends and adaptations in northern regions (2009, background): “…constitutes a number of different forms of anthropogenic impacts (Kappelle, Margret & Baas, 1999; Sala et al., 2000), including land use alterations, nitrogen deposition, and invasions of exotic species, much recent interest has been directed at climate change (Root et al., 2003; Parmesan, 2006).”
Some like it cold: populations of the tellinid bivalve Macoma balthica (L.) suffer in various ways from a warming climate (2009, background): “Such a change would be of sufficient magnitude to affect animal populations over extensive areas (Root et al. 2003).”
