Regional sources of nitrous oxide over the United States: Seasonal variation and spatial distribution
(2022-03-04)
his paper presents top-down constraints on the magnitude, spatial distribution, andseasonality of nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions over the central United States. We analyzedata from tall towers in 2004 and 2008 using a high ...
Tuning stochastic matrix models with hydrologic data to predict the population dynamics of a riverine fish
(2021-05-05)
We developed stochastic matrix models to evaluate the effects of hydrologicalteration and variable mortality on the population dynamics of a lotic fish in a regulated riversystem. Models were applied to a representative ...
Translocation to a fragmented landscape: survival, movement, and site fidelity of Northern Bobwhites
(2021-05-05)
Habitat fragmentation, degradation, and loss have taxed early-successional
species including the Northern Bobwhite (Colinus virginianus) and numerous grassland
obligate birds. Translocation is often applied to counteract ...
China's land cover and land use change from 1700 to 2005: Estimations from high‐resolution satellite data and historical archives
(2022-03-03)
One of the major limitations in assessing the impacts of human activities on globalbiogeochemical cycles and climate is a shortage of reliable data on historical landcover and land use change (LCLUC). China had extreme ...
Incubation Conditions Are More Important in Determining Early Thermoregulatory Ability than Posthatch Resource Conditions in a Precocial Bird
(2022-09-16)
Recent research in birds suggests that investing in incubation
is one mechanism by which parents can enhance the phenotype
of their offspring. Posthatch environmental conditions can also
shape an individual’s phenotype, ...
Development of a REgion‐Specific Ecosystem Feedback Fire (RESFire) Model in the Community Earth System Model
(2020-04-01)
Fires play a critical role in modulating regional and global climate through disturbances on
meteorological, biogeochemical, and hydrological processes, while fires are strongly affected by climate,
terrestrial ecosystems, ...
Methane exchange between marshland and the atmosphere over China during 1949-2008
(2020-02-25)
We used a process-based ecosystem model to examine methane (CH4) fluxes in the marshland across China as a result of multifactor global changes during 1949–2008. Our
simulated results show a significant declining rate of ...
High Throughput Screening of Elite Loblolly Pine Families for Chemical and Bioenergy Traits with Near Infrared Spectroscopy
(2020-04-01)
Pinus taeda L. (loblolly pine) dominates 13.4 million ha of US southeastern forests and contributes over $30 billion to the economy of the region. The species will also form an important component of the renewable energy ...
Century-long increasing trend and variability of dissolved organic carbon export from the Mississippi River basin driven by natural and anthropogenic forcing
(2020-04-02)
There has been considerable debate as to how natural forcing and anthropogenic activities alter the timing and magnitude of the delivery of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) to the coastal ocean, which has ramifications for ...
Rapid Quantitative Analysis of Forest Biomass Using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy and Partial Least Squares Regression
(2020-04-02)
Fourier transform infrared reflectance (FTIR) spectroscopy has been used to predict properties of forest logging residue, a very heterogeneous feedstock material. Properties studied included the chemical composition, thermal ...
