Evaluating anisotropy‐based Monin–Obukhov similarity theory over canopies and complex terrain

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
This study shows that an anisotropy‐based generalization of Monin–Obukhov surface‐layer scaling (SC23) applies readily across a wide range of atmospheric conditions with variable terrain, canopies, and land‐cover complexity. This work focuses on the scaling of velocity variances for 7 years at the 47 sites in the National Ecological Observation Network

A framework to evaluate and identify development requirements for land‐surface models at km‐scale resolution: Application to a semi‐arid and mountainous region

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
This article provides a first evaluation of land‐surface models at the km‐scale resolutions at which they are used in weather and Earth‐system models. At these resolutions, the lateral transfers of water that organize landscapes play an important role in predicting evaporation correctly. Riparian processes and human water management for irrigation need

Application of a Presumptive Standards Approach to Evaluate Environmental Flows in a Highly Regulated River Basin

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The presumptive standards approach to environmental flows offers a method to develop interim guidelines for ecological and social‐cultural flow needs. The approach is based on deriving acceptable percent‐of‐flow limits based on naturalised flows (the absence of depletion or alteration of flow), and it can be an effective precursor to a full ...

Knee height is often right: evaluating device height effects on camera trapping rate

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Camera trap deployment height can introduce systematic biases in detection trapping rates across species of different body sizes. Combining 172 paired sampling points in five experiments across Europe, North America and Africa, our results show that low cameras significantly increase detections of small‐ and medium‐sized species, whereas high cameras ...

Evaluating land–sea linkages using land cover change and coral reef monitoring data: A case study from northeastern Puerto Rico

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Land cover change that leads to increased nutrient and sediment runoff is an important driver of change in coral reef ecosystems. In this study, we combined satellite remote sensing and field monitoring to assess concomitant changes in watershed land cover and coral cover in northeastern Puerto Rico in 2000–2015.
