Remotely Sensed Changes in Vegetation Cover Distribution and Groundwater along the Lower Gila River

open access: yesLand, 2020
Introduced as a soil erosion deterrent, salt cedar has become a menace along riverbeds in the desert southwest. Salt cedar replaces native species, permanently altering the structure, composition, function, and natural processes of the landscape.

Sensitivity of Soil Chemical Erosion Rate to Climate and Dust Along a 2.8‐km Elevation Transect at San Jacinto Mountain, California

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Chemical weathering is of wide interest because it breaks down minerals, releases nutrients, weakens rock, and draws down atmospheric CO2. To quantify the sensitivity of soil chemical erosion rate to climate and dust, we measured soil chemical erosion rate, dust deposition rate, and soil climate at 18 ridgetop sites along a ∼2.8‐km elevation ...

Population dynamics of Townsend's big‐eared bats: effect of age and drought on survival

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 4, May 2026.
We estimated age‐specific yearly survival of female Townsend's big‐eared bats in Inyo and Mono Counties, California. We found that both juvenile and adult survival were negatively impacted by drought, and that detection probability was lower for hand‐recapture than for bats detected via pass‐through antenna arrays.

Watching plants’ dance: movements of live and dead branches linked to atmospheric water demand

open access: yesEcosphere, 2021
Diurnal branch movements in woody plants have only recently been described in detail. While previously only vegetative and reproductive structures have been known to move on hourly timescales, imaging technologies such as terrestrial laser scanning and ...
