A Method for Identifying Rainfall‐Runoff Events at Sub‐Hourly Time Scales: Applications for Nature‐Based Solutions and Water Resources

open access: yesRiver Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Understanding how changes in catchment conditions affect ecohydrology in response to rainfall‐runoff events is crucial when developing informed strategies to enhance flow resilience, restore natural habitats, interpret water quality data or reduce flood risk.

Riparian Failure: Damming and Flow Stabilization Exclude Cottonwood Colonization Along a Dryland River

open access: yesRiver Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Marias River flows from Glacier National Park through northcentral Montana, and into the Missouri River. Annual flows gradually declined from 1902 to 2024 (~3.2%/decade) and the 1952 Tiber Dam and Lake Elwell reservoir were operated to attenuate peak flows and stabilize downstream flows year‐round.

The effect of microarthropods on litter decomposition depends on litter quality

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Soil Biology, 2016
Abstract Many studies have investigated whether microbiota has been adapted to decompose a given litter type but we have limited information about the specific role of microarthropods in litter decaying processes. This experiment studied functional redundancy of microarthropods in a litter decomposition system by interchanging mesofauna among three ...

Effect of litter substrate quality and soil nutrients on forest litter decomposition: A review

Acta Ecologica Sinica, 2013
Forest litter plays an important role in determining nutrient cycling, balance and maintaining ecosystem function of forest ecosystems. Studies have shown that litter substrate quality is one of the most important factors affecting litter decomposition in a given area.

Climate and litter quality differently modulate the effects of soil fauna on litter decomposition across biomes

open access: yesEcology Letters, 2013
Climate and litter quality have been identified as major drivers of litter decomposition at large spatial scales. However, the role played by soil fauna remains largely unknown, despite its importance for litter fragmentation and microbial activity.

A question of litter quality

Nature, 1998
One aspect of how terrestrial ecosystems will respond to rising levels of CO2in the atmosphere is potential changes in the decomposition rate of leaf litter - a central factor in plant growth. It had been thought that the decomposition rate would decline in high CO2conditions, but this long-established hypothesis was laid to rest at a meeting in ...
