Title Description
Sediment Trapping by Dams Creates Methane Emission Hot Spots Inland waters transport and transform sub- stantial amounts of carbon and account for ∼18% of global methane emissions. Large reservoirs with higher areal met...
Characterizing coal and mineral mines as a regional source of stress to stream fish assemblages Mining impacts on stream systems have historically been studied over small spatial scales, yet investigations over large areas may be useful for characterizing ...
The links between ecosystem multifunctionality and above- and belowground biodiversity are mediated by climate Plant biodiversity is often correlated with ecosystem functioning in terrestrial ecosystems. However, we know little about the relative and combined effects of ...
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...
A phantom road experiment reveals traffic noise is an invisible source of habitat degradation Decades of research demonstrate that roads impact wildlife and suggest traffic noise as a primary cause of population declines near roads. We created a “phant...
A large source of low-volatility secondary organic aerosol Forests emit large quantities of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) to the atmosphere. Their condensable oxidation products can form secondary organic aerosol, a...
Predicting a change in the order of spring phenology in temperate forests The rise in spring temperatures over the past half-century has led to advances in the phenology of many nontropical plants and animals. As species and populatio...
Systemic trade risk of critical resources Complex Systems: In the wake of the 2008 financial crisis, the role of strongly interconnected markets in causing systemic instability has been increasingly ack...
Regional growth decline of sugar maple (Acer saccharum) and its potential causes Sugar maple (Acer saccharum Marsh) has experienced poor vigor, regeneration failure, and elevated mortality across much of its range, but there has been relativ...
PNAS-2015-Villa Mart-n-1414.pdf
Time to Adapt to a Warming World, But Where’s the Science? With dangerous global warming seemingly inevitable, users of climate information— from water utilities to international aid workers—are turning to climate ...
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...
DO CARBON OFFSETS WORK? THE ROLE OF FOREST MANAGEMENT IN GREENHOUSE GAS MITIGATION As forest carbon offset projects become more popular, professional foresters are providing their expertise to support them. But when several members of the Soci...
Duality in climate science Delivery of palatable 2 °C mitigation scenarios depends on speculative negative emissions or changing the past. Scientists must make their assumptions transpar...
How wide is a stream? Spatial extent of the potential ‘‘stream signature’’ in terrestrial food webs using meta-analysis The magnitude of cross-ecosystem resource subsidies is increasingly well recognized; however, less is known about the distance these subsidies travel into the r...
Columbia Water Center White Paper America’s Water Risk: Water Stress and Climate Variability The emerging awareness of the dependence of business on water has resulted in increasing awareness of the concept of “Water Risk” and the diverse ways in wh...
Forests fuel fish growth in freshwater deltas Aquatic ecosystems are fuelled by biogeochemical inputs from surrounding lands and within- lake primary production. Disturbances that change these inputs may af...
Multi-year drought-induced morbidity preceding tree death in Southeastern US forests Recent forest diebacks combined with threats of future drought focus attention on the extent to which tree death is caused by catastrophic events as opposed to ...
Global non-linear effect of temperature on economic production Growing evidence demonstrates that climatic conditions can have a profound impact on the functioning of modern human societies (1,2), but effects on economic ac...
Sagebrush carrying out hydraulic lift enhances surface soil nitrogen cycling and nitrogen uptake into inflorescences Plant roots serve as conduits for water flow not only from soil to leaves but also from wetter to drier soil. This hydraulic redistribution through root systems...
