A global estimator of C and N isotope baselines for fresh waters
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.Abstract Baselines are the pebbles in the shoes of isotope ecologists. The extreme variability of the isotope composition of resources at the base of food webs governs the spatial differences of consumers' isotope composition, so that isotope‐inferred trophic properties can be compared across ecosystems only after correction for baseline effects ...

Size‐based regulation and water quality: Evidence from the Iowa hog industry
American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.Abstract The growing prevalence of animal feeding operations (AFOs) in the United States raises concerns among the public and regulators about their impact on local environmental quality. By linking historical regulatory records of AFOs in Iowa to downstream surface water pollution monitors, this paper studies the effects of the 2003 Clean Water Act ...

Untangling nutrient co‐regulation of ombrotrophic peatland development
Boreas, EarlyView.Multi‐method (FTIR, FT‐NIR and TGA) approaches characterizing the organic peat constituents at Holcroft Moss reveal a record of switches that reflect broadly hydroclimate variability governing the decomposition patterns. There are periods, however, where hydroclimate does not fully explain the variability observed and instead changes appear linked to ...

From rhetoric to measurement: The economics of wetland conservation
Canadian Journal of Agricultural Economics/Revue canadienne d'agroeconomie, EarlyView.Abstract Wetland conservation continues to be a pressing issue as wetlands continue to be lost due to urban, industrial, and agricultural expansion. This paper synthesizes the current knowledge about wetland conservation economics in Canada, with a focus on prairie landscapes. We review the methods economists use to empirically measure the costs (i.e.,

Public willingness to pay for wetland restoration in the Canadian Prairie Pothole Region
Canadian Journal of Agricultural Economics/Revue canadienne d'agroeconomie, EarlyView.Abstract Wetlands play a crucial role in the agricultural landscapes of Canada's Prairie Pothole Region (PPR) but are being lost to agricultural and urban development. There is increased interest from governments and conservation organizations in restoring previously drained wetlands, but these projects are costly and associated with intangible ...

Comprehensive framework for assessing and optimizing existing research networks
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Conservation, monitoring, and research networks, or collections of ecological research sites unified under a common mission of data collection or a research mission, are essential infrastructure for understanding large landscapes. However, most networks developed opportunistically over decades rather than through systematic design, creating ...

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract In the western United States, conservation practitioners are increasingly working with private landowners to restore habitat for North American beavers (Castor canadensis) and to use nonlethal mitigation techniques when beavers damage crops and infrastructure.
