Vulnerability of breeding waterbirds to climate change in the Prairie Pothole Region, U.S.A. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 The Prairie Pothole Region (PPR) of the north-central U.S. and south-central Canada contains millions of small prairie wetlands that provide critical habitat to many migrating and breeding waterbirds.

Waterfowl conservation in the US Prairie Pothole Region: confronting the complexities of climate change. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 The Prairie Pothole Region (PPR) is the most important waterfowl production area in North America. However, waterfowl populations there are predicted to decline because of climate-related drying of wetlands.

Invasive Species Change Plant Community Composition of Preserved Prairie Pothole Wetlands [PDF]
Plants, 2023 Plant communities in North American prairie pothole wetlands vary depending on hydrology, salinity, and anthropogenic disturbance in and around the wetland. We assessed prairie pothole conditions on United States Fish and Wildlife Service fee-title lands

Widespread use and frequent detection of neonicotinoid insecticides in wetlands of Canada's Prairie Pothole Region. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Neonicotinoids currently dominate the insecticide market as seed treatments on Canada's major Prairie crops (e.g., canola). The potential impact to ecologically significant wetlands in this dominantly agro-environment has largely been overlooked while ...

Cattle-induced homogenization of microbial communities weakens the influence of geochemical gradients in small water bodies [PDF]
Scientific ReportsNatural ponds and constructed reservoirs (dugouts) provide essential water for agriculture, yet the effects of livestock disturbances on the freshwater microbial ecosystems remain underexplored.

Wetlands set the pace of annual runoff in the northern Great Plains [PDF]
Communications Earth & EnvironmentInterannual variability in the runoff ratio—how much annual precipitation becomes streamflow—underpins water management, flood forecasting, and biogeochemical fluxes. In most hydrologic frameworks, this variability is attributed primarily to year-to-year

Patterns of Local Adaptation in the Northern Leopard Frog (Rana pipiens) From a Region Undergoing Rapid Climate and Land‐Use Change [PDF]
Evolutionary ApplicationsPreservation of local adaptation is a key goal for conservation of populations, and, within the current era of profound environmental change, characterization of local adaptation is necessary to assess the potential resilience of populations to future ...

Temperate wetlands lose climate-cooling capacity under warming [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsTemperate inland wetlands have long been viewed as climate regulators, with sustained CO₂ sequestration offsetting continuous CH₄ emissions over centennial–millennial timescales. However, the net climatic effect of these opposing fluxes remains uncertain
