The role of changing temperature in microbial metabolic processes during permafrost thaw.
PLoS ONE, 2020 Approximately one fourth of the Earth's Northern Hemisphere is underlain by permafrost, earth materials (soil, organic matter, or bedrock), that has been continuously frozen for at least two consecutive years.

Global patterns of treeline predictability and the gap between the forest and the treeline
Ecography, EarlyView.The alpine treeline is the highest elevation at which trees can grow, which is assumed to be controlled by temperature and globally predictable. However, many upper forest limits (UFLs) do not reach this elevation, due natural factors and human disturbance.

Grassland Research, EarlyView.The importance of green water in water resource management. Conceptual classification of terrestrial water components highlighting the central role of green water in land‐atmosphere interactions. This schematic distinguishes green water (soil moisture available for plant uptake and evapotranspiration) from blue water (surface water, groundwater, and ...

Influence of permafrost characteristics on vegetation change in Yukon and Northwest Territories, Canada [PDF]
, 2021 Permafrost thaw is a significant contributor to landscape change and ecosystem disruption in northern systems. While previous studies have examined the impact of permafrost on vegetation change, few have investigated the connection of permafrost ...

Microbial nutrient limitation in Arctic lakes in a permafrost landscape of southwest Greenland [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2015 Permafrost is degrading across regions of the Arctic, which can lead to increases in nutrient concentrations in surface freshwaters. The oligotrophic state of many Arctic lakes suggests that enhanced nutrient inputs may have important effects on these systems, but little is known about microbial nutrient limitation patterns in ...

Irrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.ABSTRACT A recent UN report describes many regions as facing ‘water bankruptcy,’ a condition in which available water resources can no longer meet existing demands. In practice, this means irrigation will likely bear the greatest burden of future water‐use reductions, a complicated and fraught decision to make given its critical role in food security ...
