The ‘Singapore Fever’ in China: policy mobility and mutation (2016)
Journal Article

The ‘Singapore Model’ has constituted the only second explicit attempt by the Communist Party of China (CPC) to learn from a foreign country following Mao Zedong’s pledge to contour ‘China’s tomorrow’ on the Soviet Union experience during the early 1...

Holocene carbon dynamics at the forest – steppe ecotone of southern Siberia (2016)
Journal Article

The forest–steppe ecotone in southern Siberia is highly sensitive to climate change; global warming is expected to push the ecotone northwards, at the same time resulting in degradation of the underlying permafrost. To gain a deeper understanding of... Read More about Holocene carbon dynamics at the forest – steppe ecotone of southern Siberia.

Deciphering long-term records of natural variability and human impact as recorded in lake sediments: a palaeolimnological puzzle (2016)
Journal Article

Global aquatic ecosystems are under increasing threat from anthropogenic activity, as well as being exposed to past (and projected) climate change, however, the nature of how climate and human impacts are recorded in lake sediments is often ambiguous...

China: an East Asian alternative to neoliberalism? (2016)
Journal Article

The political-economic evolution of post-Mao China has been portrayed as a historically inevitable embrace of neoliberalism; as an exemplification of the East Asian developmental state and as an extension of Soviet New Economic Policy-style state cap...

Evolutionary heritage influences Amazon tree ecology (2016)
Journal Article

Lineages tend to retain ecological characteristics of their ancestors through time. However, for some traits, selection during evolutionary history may have also played a role in determining trait values. To address the relative importance of these p...

The Chongqing vs. Guangdong developmental ‘models’ in post-Mao China: regional and historical perspectives on the dynamics of socioeconomic change (2016)
Journal Article

The Chinese political economy is a dynamic entity constituted by multiple developmental trajectories. Recent debates on two seemingly divergent ‘models’ in the subnational regions of Chongqing and Guangdong has foregrounded the potential contradictio...

Erratum to: A comparison of changes in river runoff from multiple global and catchment-scale hydrological models under global warming scenarios of 1 °C, 2 °C and 3 °C (Climatic Change, 10.1007/s10584-016-1773-3) (2016)
Journal Article

In the initial online publication, a middle initial “J.” was added to the name of second author Jamal Zaherpour. This middle initial should not be there. The original publication has now been corrected as well.

Controls on Arctic glacier-fed river water temperature (2016)
Journal Article

The impact of climate change on Arctic rivers is expected to be severe. There is therefore a need for greater understanding of Arctic river temperature processes. This study quantifies the spatio-temporal variability of water temperatures in the Kårs... Read More about Controls on Arctic glacier-fed river water temperature.

Living precariously: property guardianship and the flexible city (2016)
Journal Article

In this paper we examine the precarious everyday geographies of property guardianship in the United Kingdom. Temporary property guardianship is a relatively new form of insecure urban dwelling existing in the grey area between informal occupation, th...

Ecology under lake ice (2016)
Journal Article

Winter conditions are rapidly changing in temperate ecosystems, particularly for those that experience periods of snow and ice cover. Relatively little is known of winter ecology in these systems, due to a historical research focus on summer "growing... Read More about Ecology under lake ice.

Sources, cycling and export of nitrogen on the Greenland Ice Sheet (2016)
Journal Article

Fjord and continental shelf environments in the polar regions are host to some of the planet's most productive ecosystems and support economically important fisheries. Their productivity, however, is often critically dependent upon nutrient supply fr... Read More about Sources, cycling and export of nitrogen on the Greenland Ice Sheet.

Changes in glacial meltwater alter algal communities in lakes of Scoresby Sund, Renland, East Greenland throughout the Holocene: abrupt reorganizations began 1000 years before present (2016)
Journal Article

We investigated the response of lake algal communities to changes in glacial meltwater from the Renland Ice Cap (Greenland) through the Holocene to assess whether influxes always elicit consistent responses or novel responses. We measured sedimentary...

Towards a comprehensive climate impacts assessment of solar geoengineering (2016)
Journal Article

Despite a growing literature on the climate response to solar geoengineering – proposals to cool the planet by increasing the planetary albedo – there has been little published on the impacts of solar geoengineering on natural and human systems such...

Combining geodiversity with climate and topography to account for threatened species richness (2016)
Journal Article

Improved understanding of threatened species diversity is important for long-term conservation planning and natural area management, especially under ongoing global change. Geodiversity – the diversity of earth surface materials, forms and processes... Read More about Combining geodiversity with climate and topography to account for threatened species richness.

A comparison of changes in river runoff from multiple global and catchment-scale hydrological models under global warming scenarios of 1°C, 2°C and 3°C (2016)
Journal Article

We present one of the first climate change impact assessments on river runoff that utilises an ensemble of global hydrological models (Glob-HMs) and an ensemble of catchment-scale hydrological models (Cat-HMs), across multiple catchments: the upper A...

Understanding the influence of farmer motivations on changes to soil erosion risk on sites of former serious erosion in the South Downs National Park, UK (2016)
Journal Article

Serious soil erosion occurred in the South Downs National Park, southern England in the years 1982–2006 and details of around 400 sites are contained in a database. In 2010 we revisited 85 of the most serious sites where erosion of >10 m3 ha−1 y−1 ha...

Epistemic geographies of climate change: science, space and politics (2016)
Journal Article

Anthropogenic climate change has been presented as the archetypal global problem, identified by the slow work of assembling a global knowledge infrastructure, and demanding a concertedly global political response. But this ‘global’ knowledge has dist... Read More about Epistemic geographies of climate change: science, space and politics.

The sensitivity of mapping methods to reference data quality: training supervised image classifications with imperfect reference data (2016)
Journal Article

The accuracy of a map is dependent on the reference dataset used in its construction. Classification analyses used in thematic mapping can, for example, be sensitive to a range of sampling and data quality concerns. With particular focus on the latte...

The role of remote sensing in the development of SMART indicators for ecosystem services assessment (2016)
Journal Article

Human beings benefit from a wide range of goods and services from the natural environment that are collectively known as ecosystem services. However, rapid natural habitat loss, overexploitation and climate change is causing accelerating losses of po...
