Framework for Conservation Action in the Great Plains Grasslands Biome
-
A ‘Call to Action’ has emerged in the Great Plains to scale-up conservation on private lands and meet the sustainability targets that benefit both agriculture and wildlife. In 2020, a multi-state, areawide planning initiative produced the first biome-scale framework for grassland wildlife conservation on the region’s sustainable working rangelands. This initiative features an action-based framework for 2021-2025 focused on addressing the two most severe and large-scale threats to the Great Plains biome: woodland expansion and land use conversion.

Framework for Conservation Action in the Sagebrush Biome
-
This action-based framework is the culmination of multi-state, areawide planning initiated to update SGI 2.0 and its ongoing success in 2021-2025. This framework also serves as NRCS’ ongoing contribution to the Sagebrush Conservation Strategy administered by Western Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies. Sharing common cross-boundary threats, NRCS staff across 11 western states collaborated to create this shared vision for conservation action.

Frequent Long-Distance Plant Colonization
-
The ability of species to track their ecological niche after climate change is a major source of uncertainty in predicting their future distribution. By analyzing DNA fingerprinting (amplified fragment-length polymorphism) of nine plant species, we show that long-distance colonization of a remote arctic archipelago, Svalbard, has occurred repeatedly and from several source regions. Propagules are likely carried by wind and drifting sea ice. The genetic effect of restricted colonization was strongly correlated with the temperature requirements of the species, indicating that establishment limits distribution more than dispersal. Thus, it may be appropriate to
assume unlimited dispersal when predicting long-term range shifts in the Arctic.

Freshwater Methane Emissions Offset the Continental Carbon Sink
-
Acornerstone of our understanding of the
contemporary global carbon cycle is that
the terrestrial land surface is an important
greenhouse gas (GHG) sink (1, 2). The global
land sink is estimated to be 2.6 T 1.7 Pg of C
year−1 (variability T range, excluding C emissions
because of deforestation) (1). Lakes, impoundments,
and rivers are parts of the terrestrial landscape,
but they have not yet been included in the
terrestrial GHG balance (3, 4). Available data
suggest, however, that freshwaters can be substantial
sources of CO2 (3, 5) and CH4 (6). Over time,
soil carbon reaches freshwaters by lateral hydrological
transport, where it can meet several fates,
including burial in sediments, further transport to
the sea, or evasion to the atmosphere as CO2 or
CH4 (7). CH4 emissions may be small in terms of
carbon, but CH4 is a more potent GHG than CO2
over century time scales. This study indicates that
global CH4 emissions expressed as CO2 equivalents
correspond to at least 25% of the estimated
terrestrial GHG sink.
