Abstract: The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) was set up jointly by the World Meteorological Organization and the United Nations Environment Programme to provide an authoritative international statement of scientific understanding of climate change. The IPCC’s periodic assessments of the causes, impacts and possible response strategies to climate change are the most comprehensive and up-to-date reports available on the subject, and form the standard reference for all concerned with climate change in academia, government and industry worldwide. Through three working groups, many hundreds of international experts assess climate change in this Fourth Assessment Report.

Dominance hierarchies, diversity and species richness of vascular plants in an alpine meadow: contrasting short and medium term responses to simulated global change.
TL;DR: Generally, this study supports the productivity–diversity relationship found across arctic habitats, with community diversity peaking in mid-productivity systems and degrading as nutrient availability increases further.
Analysis of climate types: Main strategies for sustainable decisions in agricultural areas of Carabobo, Venezuela
TL;DR: The most relevant agricultural areas are represented by a water index of (-2.16 to -18.96; which determines a dry sub-humid climate with annual rainfall ranging between 921 mm and 1063 mm as discussed by the authors.
Recruitment and Patch Establishment by Seed in the Seagrass Posidonia oceanica: Importance and Conservation Implications.
TL;DR: Findings contradict the historical assumption that sexual recruitment is rare and usually unsuccessful for P. oceanica, and highlight the potential importance of recruitment for the long-term persistence and adaptation of the species to sea level rise predicted in the next century in the Mediterranean.
A dynamic approach to PES pricing and finance for interlinked ecosystem services: Watershed conservation and groundwater management
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed a theory of payment for ecosystem services (PES) pricing consistent with dynamic efficiency and sustainable income requires optimized shadow prices, which requires joint optimization across multiple resource stocks.
