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, ...

Fitness implications of seasonal climate variation in Columbian ground squirrels 

Dobson, FS; Lane, JE; Low, M; Murie, JO (2020-04-01)
The influence of climate change on the fitness of wild populations is often studied in the context of the spring onset of the reproductive season. This focus is relevant for climate influences on reproductive success, but ...

Global Nitrous Oxide Emissions From Pasturelands and Rangelands: Magnitude, Spatiotemporal Patterns, and Attribution

The application of manure and mineral nitrogen (N) fertilizer, and livestock excreta deposition are the main drivers of nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions in agricultural systems. However, the magnitude and spatiotemporal ...

Global Pyrogenic Carbon Production During Recent Decades Has Created the Potential for a Large, Long-Term Sink of Atmospheric CO2 

Wei, Xinyuan; Hayes, Daniel J.; Fraver, Shawn; Chen, Guangsheng; 0000-0001-6544-5287 (2020-05-26)
Fires play an important role in the terrestrial biosphere carbon cycle, not only through direct carbon release but also contributing to a potential long-term storage as pyrogenic carbon (PyC). PyC is formed through fires, ...

Increased light-use efficiency in northern terrestrial ecosystems indicated by CO2 and greening observations 

Thomas, Rebecca T.; Prentice, Lain Colin; Graven, Heather; Ciais, Philippe; Fisher, Joshua B; Hayes, Daniel J; Huang, Maoyi; Huntzinger, Deborah N.; Ito, Akihiko; Jain, Atul; Mao, Jiafu; Michalak, Anna M.; Peng, Shushi; Poulter, Benjamin; Ricciuto, Daniel M.; Shi, Xiaoying; Schwalm, Christopher; Tian, Hanqin; Zeng, Ning; 0000-0002-1806-4091 (2020-04-01)
Observations show an increasing amplitude in the seasonal cycle of CO2 (ASC) north of 45 degrees N of 56 +/- 9.8% over the last 50 years and an increase in vegetation greenness of 7.5-15% in high northern latitudes since ...

Long-term trends in evapotranspiration and runoff over the drainage basins of the Gulf of Mexico during 19012008 

Liu, Mingliang; Tian, Hanqin; Yang, Qichun; Yang, Jia; Song, Xia; Lohren, Steven E.; Cai, Wei-Jun; 0000-0002-1806-4091 (2020-04-01)
The Gulf of Mexico (GOM) is facing large pressures from environmental changes since the beginning of the last century. However, the magnitude and long-term trend of total water discharge to the GOM and the underlying ...

Methane emissions from global rice fields: Magnitude, spatiotemporal patterns, and environmental controls 

Zhang, Bowen; Tian, Hanqin; Ren, Wei; Tao, Bo; Lu, Chaoqun; Yang, Jia; Banger, Kamaljit; Pan, Shufen; 0000-0002-1806-4091; 0000-0001-7920-1427 (2020-04-02)
Given the importance of the potential positive feedback between methane (CH4) emissions and climate change, it is critical to accurately estimate the magnitude and spatiotemporal patterns of CH4 emissions from global rice ...

Methane exchange between marshland and the atmosphere over China during 1949-2008 

Xu, Xiaofeng; Tian, Hanqin; 0000-0002-1806-4091; 0000-0002-6553-6514 (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 ...
