ABSTRACT The Columbia river provides the largest Pacific outflow in the Western Hemisphere and the greatest hydropower production of any North American river system. For hydropower generation and flood risk management, four massive water storage reservoirs followed the Columbia River Treaty between Canada and the United States, with three Canadian dams,

Enhancing soil health through no‐till, cover crops, and compost: A 5‐year field study
Abstract The capacity of soil management systems to conserve and promote soil health is crucial for its sustainability. While the effects of individual soil management practices on soil health receive considerable attention, their combined effects remain understudied. This paper presents the results of a 5‐year field experiment designed to evaluate the

Abstract Quantitatively assessing the soil quality (SQ) of saline sodic soil is essential to understand the effects of improving methods and assistance for screening on efficient technologies. The objective of this study was to develop saline‐sodic SQ indices and evaluate the continuation of drip irrigation under film with salt‐enduring plant ...

Below the leaves: Integrating above‐ and below‐ground phenology for earth‐system predictability
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Almost every aspect of biological systems has phenology—a pattern in activity or function linked to annual cycles. Most terrestrial phenology research focusses on leaves, the onset of leaf out or senescence.

Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract The stoichiometric imbalance caused by nitrogen (N) deposition typically exacerbates phosphorus (P) limitation in plants. However, it remains unclear whether this effect extends to soil microbes, particularly those in the rhizosphere.
