Response of riparian vegetation to short‐ and long‐term hydrologic variation

open access: yesEcological Applications, Volume 32, Issue 8, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Increasing demand for river water now conflicts with an increasing desire to maintain riparian ecosystems. Efficiently managing river flows for riparian vegetation requires an understanding of the time scale of flow effects, but this information is limited by the absence of long‐term studies of vegetation change in response to flow variation ...

Monitoring resistance and resilience using carbon trajectories: Analysis of forest management–disturbance interactions

open access: yesEcological Applications, Volume 32, Issue 8, December 2022., 2022
Abstract A changing climate is altering ecosystem carbon dynamics with consequences for natural systems and human economies, but there are few tools available for land managers to meaningfully incorporate carbon trajectories into planning efforts. To address uncertainties wrought by rapidly changing conditions, many practitioners adopt resistance and ...

Nucleation sites and forest recovery under high shrub competition

open access: yesEcological Applications, Volume 32, Issue 8, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Forests currently face numerous stressors, raising questions about processes of forest recovery as well as the role of humans in stimulating recovery by planting trees that might not otherwise regenerate. Theoretically, planted trees can also provide a seed source for further recruitment once the planted trees become reproductive, acting as ...

Plastics of the Future? Interdisciplinary Review on Biobased and Biodegradable Polymers: Progress in Chemistry, Societal Views, and Environmental Implications

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie International Edition, Accepted Article.
Global demand to reduce polymer waste and microplastics pollution has increased in recent years, prompting further research, development, and wider use of biodegradable and biobased polymers (BBPs). BBPs have emerged as promising alternatives to conventional plastics, with the potential to mitigate the environmental burdens of persistent plastic waste.

Fen ecohydrologic trajectories in response to groundwater drawdown with an edaphic feedback

open access: yesEcohydrology, Volume 15, Issue 8, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Fens are high conservation value ecosystems that depend on consistent discharge of groundwater that saturates the near surface for most of the growing season. Reduced groundwater inputs can result in losses of native diversity, decreases in rare‐species abundance and increased invasion by non‐native species.
