Climate Change 2007: The Physical Science Basis Summary for Policymakers:
Abstract: The Working Group I contribution to the IPCC Fourth Assessment Report describes progress in understanding of the
human and natural drivers of climate change1, observed climate change, climate processes and attribution, and
estimates of projected future climate change. It builds upon past IPCC assessments and incorporates new findings from the past six years of research. Scientific progress since the TAR is based upon large amounts of new and more
comprehensive data, more sophisticated analyses of data, improvements in understanding of processes and their
simulation in models, and more extensive exploration of uncertainty ranges.

Ocean acidification reduces induction of coral settlement by crustose coralline algae.
TL;DR: Microbial shifts and the concomitant reduced ability of CCA to induce coral settlement under OA conditions projected to occur by 2100 is a significant concern for the development, maintenance and recovery of reefs globally.
Predicting the Current and Future Potential Distributions of Lymphatic Filariasis in Africa Using Maximum Entropy Ecological Niche Modelling
Hannah C Slater,Edwin Michael +1 more
TL;DR: This work uses ecological niche modelling to map the current potential distribution of the macroparasitic disease, lymphatic filariasis (LF), in Africa, and to estimate how future changes in climate and population could affect its spread and burden.
A global comparison of grassland biomass responses to CO2 and nitrogen enrichment
TL;DR: An approach such as the authors', in which meta-analysis is combined with global scale model outputs to make large-scale predictions, may complement the results of dynamic global vegetation models, thus allowing us to form better predictions of biosphere responses to environmental change.
Selective decay of terrestrial organic carbon during transport from land to sea
Gesa A. Weyhenmeyer,Gesa A. Weyhenmeyer,Mats Fröberg,Erik Karltun,Maria I. Khalili,Dolly N. Kothawala,Johan Temnerud,Johan Temnerud,Lars J. Tranvik +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used extensive datasets on soil, lake and river mouth chemistry of the boreal/hemiboreal region to determine organic carbon (OC) stocks of the O horizon from catchment soils, annual OC transports through more than 700 lakes (OClakeflux) and the total annual OC transport at Sweden's 53 river mouths (OCseaflux).
