Abstract:
... Many climate change responses focus on form rather than substance. As a result, they invariably look at the consequences but ignore the drivers of climate change. Since past approaches towards climate change adaptation have had limited success, the most effective and sustainable way to minimize future climate change impacts on humanity is through transformative adaptation (TA). This paper defines ...

Abstract:
... Traits enabling seeds to survive post‐dispersal desiccation and subsequently germinate are important aspects of plant regeneration for species with desiccation‐sensitive seeds. However, how desiccation and germination‐related traits co‐vary and relate to patterns of climate variation are unknown. We investigated physiological traits related to desiccation and germination of desiccation‐sensitive s ...

Abstract:
... Understanding the trend of vegetation change and its reaction to climate variation is important for revealing the mechanism of ecosystem behavior. However, current research rarely systematically analyzes the time effects of climate variation on vegetation dynamics (time-lag and time-accumulation effects), especially in arid and semi-arid mountainous terrain. The typical mountainous terrain—the Qil ...

Abstract:
... Climate‐induced coral bleaching events are a leading threat to coral reef ecosystems and can result in coral–macroalgal regime shifts that are difficult to reverse. It is unclear how different factors causally influence regime shift or recovery trajectories after a bleaching event. Here, we use structural causal modeling (SCM) and its application of directed acyclic graphs (DAGs) to determine how ...
