Review Articles Snow–atmosphere coupling in the Northern Hemisphere    pp954 - 963 Gina R. Henderson, Yannick Peings, Jason C. Furtado & Paul J. Kushner doi:10.1038/s41558-018-0295-6 Using the 'Can it? Has it? Will it?' framework, this Review synthesizes current understanding on Eurasian snow–atmosphere coupling, outlining observational and modelling evidence for their dynamical connection and discussing possible changes in the future. Radiative forcing by light-absorbing particles in snow    pp964 - 971 S. McKenzie Skiles, Mark Flanner, Joseph M. Cook, Marie Dumont & Thomas H. Painter doi:10.1038/s41558-018-0296-5 Snow albedo is impacted by the presence of light-absorbing particles, including black carbon and dust. This Review collates knowledge on the associated radiative forcing, discussing geographic variability, future impacts and challenges for reducing uncertainty. Climate change and interconnected risks to sustainable development in the Mediterranean    pp972 - 980 Wolfgang Cramer, Joël Guiot, Marianela Fader, Joaquim Garrabou, Jean-Pierre Gattuso et al. doi:10.1038/s41558-018-0299-2 Climate change, in combination with existing environmental issues, threatens the Mediterranean region. This Review highlights how climate change will interact with other factors to exacerbate five areas of risk unless there is mitigation and adaptation. Letters Coastal climate change, soil salinity and human migration in Bangladesh    pp981 - 985 J. Chen & V. Mueller doi:10.1038/s41558-018-0313-8 Projected sea-level rise and increased flooding threaten coastal agriculture. Gradual increases in soil salinity, but not inundation alone, are shown to correspond to increasing diversification into aquaculture and higher levels of internal migration. Synchronous behavioural shifts in reef fishes linked to mass coral bleaching    pp986 - 991 Sally A. Keith, Andrew H. Baird, Jean-Paul A. Hobbs, Erika S. Woolsey, Andrew S. Hoey et al. doi:10.1038/s41558-018-0314-7 The impact of coral bleaching and mortality is found to reduce aggression in resident butterflyfish. This is linked to the lower dietary percentage of preferred food, nutritionally rich Acropora coral, with a less nutritious diet influencing aggressive behaviour. Long-distance migratory birds threatened by multiple independent risks from global change    pp992 - 996 Damaris Zurell, Catherine H. Graham, Laure Gallien, Wilfried Thuiller & Niklaus E. Zimmermann doi:10.1038/s41558-018-0312-9 Climate and land-cover change can affect the summer and winter ranges and migration distances of migratory birds. Accounting for all of these factors, rather than just summer range as is typical, significantly increases the number of species under threat. Snow cover is a neglected driver of Arctic biodiversity loss    pp997 - 1001 Pekka Niittynen, Risto K. Heikkinen & Miska Luoto doi:10.1038/s41558-018-0311-x Arctic biodiversity patterns will be highly dependent on the evolution of snow conditions, according to simulation results that integrate observations of vascular plants, mosses and lichens over a range of Arctic landscapes. Weaker land–climate feedbacks from nutrient uptake during photosynthesis-inactive periods    pp1002 - 1006 W. J. Riley, Q. Zhu & J. Y. Tang doi:10.1038/s41558-018-0325-4 During periods of photosynthetic inactivity, roots compete for nutrients with microbes and abiotic processes. Most ESMs neglect this competition, leading to large positive biases in annual N leaching and N2O emissions estimates. Articles Public acceptance of resource-efficiency strategies to mitigate climate change    pp1007 - 1012 Catherine Cherry, Kate Scott, John Barrett & Nick Pidgeon doi:10.1038/s41558-018-0298-3 A combination of consumption-based emissions modelling and deliberative public workshops suggests that developing resource-efficient products will be an effective climate change mitigation strategy because it has both high emissions-reduction potential and wide-scale public approval. Latitudinal shift of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation source regions under a warming climate    pp1013 - 1020 Camille Lique & Matthew D. Thomas doi:10.1038/s41558-018-0316-5 The sinking of dense waters drives the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation. As the climate warms, changes in ocean circulation, stratification and mixed-layer depth alter the regions in which this sinking occurs, with implications for global climate.
