Effects of grazing on grassland soil carbon: a global review
|
Soils of grasslands represent a large potential reservoir for storing CO2, but this potential likely depends on how grasslands are managed for large mammal graz... |

Palaeodata-informed modelling of large carbon losses from recent burning of boreal forests
|
Wildfires play a key role in the boreal forest carbon cycle (1,2) , and models suggest that accelerated burning will increase boreal C emissions in the coming c... |

Evaporative cooling over the Tibetan Plateau induced by vegetation growth
|
Here, we show that in contrast to arctic regions, increased growing season vegetation activity over the TP may have attenuated surface warming. This negative fe... |

Biodiversity gains from efficient use of private sponsorship for flagship species conservation
|
To address the global extinction crisis, both efficient use of existing conservation funding and new sources of funding are vital. Private sponsorship of charis... |

Key role of symbiotic dinitrogen fixation in tropical forest secondary succession
|
Forests contribute a significant portion of the land carbon sink, but their ability to sequester CO2 may be constrained by nitrogen 1–6, a major plant-limitin... |

Soil Temperature following Logging-Debris Manipulation and Aspen Regrowth in Minnesota: Implications for Sampling Depth and Alteration of Soil Processes
|
Soil temperature is a fundamental controller of processes influencing the
transformation and flux of soil C and nutrients following forest harvest. Soil

Statistically derived contributions of diverse human influences to twentieth-century temperature changes
|
The warming of the climate system is unequivocal as evidenced by an increase in global temperatures by 0.8 ◦ C over the past century. However, the attribution... |

Projected increase in lightning strikes in the United States due to global warming
|
Lightning plays an important role in atmospheric chemistry and in the initiation of wildfires, but the impact of global warming on lightning rates is poorly con... |

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... |

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... |

Assemblage Time Series Reveal Biodiversity Change but Not Systematic Loss
|
The extent to which biodiversity change in local assemblages contributes to global biodiversity
loss is poorly understood. We analyzed 100 time series from bio... |

Formation of soil organic matter via biochemical and physical pathways of litter mass loss
|
Soil organic matter is the largest terrestrial carbon pool1. The pool size depends on the balance between formation of soil organic matter from decomposition of... |
