Title Description
Formation of soil organic matter via biochemical and physical pathways of litter mass loss Soil organic matter is the largest terrestrial carbon pool (1). The pool size depends on the balance between formation of soil organic matter from decomposition...
Rapid deposition of oxidized biogenic compounds to a temperate forest We report fluxes and dry deposition velocities for 16 atmospheric compounds above a southeastern United States forest, including: hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), nitr...
Significant anthropogenic-induced changes of climate classes since 1950 Anthropogenic forcings have contributed to global and regional warming in the last few decades and likely affected terrestrial precipitation. Here we examine ch...
Uncertainty in the response of transpiration to CO2 and implications for climate change While terrestrial precipitation is a societally highly relevant climate variable, there is little consensus among climate models about its projected 21st centur...
Increased River Alkalinization in the Eastern U.S. The interaction between human activities and watershed geology is accelerating long-term changes in the carbon cycle of rivers. We evaluated changes in bicarbon...
Pedoecological Modeling to Guide Forest Restoration using Ecological Site Descriptions the u.s. department of agriculture (usda)-natural resources conservation service (nrcs) uses an ecological site description (esd) framework to help incorporate ...

Rethinking wedges Stabilizing CO2 emissions at current levels for fifty years is not consistent with either an atmospheric CO2 concentration below 500 ppm or global temperature i...
The influence of contextual cues on the perceived status of consumption-reducing behavior The question of whether and when behaviors that reduce overall consumption are associated with low status has not been adequately explored. Previous research su...
Sustainable Development under Population Pressure: Lessons from Developed Land Consumption in the Conterminous U.S. Population growth will result in a significant anthropogenic environmental change worldwide through increases in developed land (DL) consumption. DL consumption...
Groundwater depletion and sustainability of irrigation in the US High Plains and Central Valley Aquifer overexploitation could significantly impact crop production in the United States because 60% of irrigation relies on groundwater. Groundwater depletion ...
Impacts in the third dimension Despite reports of no trends in snow- and rainfall, rivers in the northwest USA have run lower and lower in recent decades. A closer look at high- and low-altit...
Bird Richness and Abundance in Response to Urban Form in a Latin American City There is mounting evidence that urban areas influence biodiversity. Generalizations how- ever require that multiple urban areas on multiple continents be examin...
Multidecadal to multicentury scale collapses of Northern Hemisphere monsoons over the past millennium Late Holocene climate in western North America was punctuated by periods of extended aridity called megadroughts. These droughts have been linked to cool easter...
Comment:Nuclear winter is a real and present danger Models show that even a ‘small’ nuclear war would cause catastrophic climate change. Such findings must inform policy, says Alan Robock.
Sour Streams in Appalachia: Mapping Nature’s Buffer Against Sulfur Deposition Sulfur emissions are regulated by the Environmental Protection Agency, but sulfuric acid that has leached into soil and streams can linger in the environment a...
Protected areas facilitate species’ range expansions The benefits of protected areas (PAs) for biodiversity have been questioned in the context of climate change because PAs are static, whereas the distributions o...
Temporal stability in forest productivity increases with tree diversity due to asynchrony in species dynamics Theory predicts a positive relationship between biodiversity and stability in ecosystem properties, while diversity is expected to have a negative impact on sta...
Managing Wildfire Risk in Fire-Prone Landscapes: How Are Private Landowners Contributing? The fire-prone landscapes include both public and private lands. Wildfire burns indiscriminately across property boundaries, which means that the way potential ...
