Ecography, EarlyView.Pelagic‐feeding seabirds deliver nutrient subsidies that enhance the productivity, biodiversity, and resilience of terrestrial and marine ecosystems, particularly in nutrient‐poor tropical environments. However, the biogeophysical variables governing the fluxes of these nutrients within and among interconnected ecosystems remain poorly understood.

Where do we expect to find deep plant roots?
Ecography, EarlyView.Plant roots have been observed up to 70 m in depth – what would compel a plant to root so deeply? Earlier work shows that the climate, soil and drainage all affect rooting depth, but with conflicting results. For example, both the deepest and shallowest roots are found in arid regions.

Flood Risk‐Sensitive Land Use Governance: Explaining Enforcement Gaps in the Case of Accra, Ghana
Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Research has shown that effective flood risk management is closely connected to land use governance, i.e., the land use system involving diverse, relevant stakeholders (e.g., landowners, public authorities, disaster management organisations) and their formal and informal land development practices.

Uncertainty in hydrological signatures [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2015 Abstract. Information about rainfall–runoff processes is essential for hydrological analyses, modelling and water-management applications. A hydrological, or diagnostic, signature quantifies such information from observed data as an index value. Signatures are widely used, e.g.

Environmental Progress &Sustainable Energy, EarlyView.Abstract The increasing environmental and health challenges posed by fossil fuel dependency necessitate the exploration of renewable bioresources. Chlorella sorokiniana KNUA228, a microalga isolated from Ulleungdo, Republic of Korea, was investigated to evaluate its biotechnological potential. Molecular analyses confirmed its identity as C. sorokiniana,
