Modeling groundwater responses to climate change in the Prairie Pothole Region [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2020 Shallow groundwater in the Prairie Pothole Region (PPR) is predominantly recharged by snowmelt in the spring and supplies water for evapotranspiration through the summer and fall. This two-way exchange is underrepresented in current land surface models.

The future Prairie Pothole Region: scenarios of change
FACETSAgriculture has driven important changes within the Prairie Pothole Region, for example, with major yield increases in recent decades. Changes are ongoing, with widespread wetland drainage in areas, and evidence of growing rural conflict over drainage ...

Assessing runoff sensitivity of North American Prairie Pothole Region basins to wetland drainage using a basin classification-based virtual modelling approach [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2022 Wetland drainage has been pervasive in the North American Prairie Pothole Region. There is strong evidence that this drainage increases the hydrological connectivity of previously isolated wetlands and, in turn, runoff response to snowmelt and rainfall ...

Evaluation of fall‐seeded cover crops for grassland nesting waterfowl in eastern South Dakota
Wildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView., 2023 Cover crops are experiencing a revival among Midwestern farmers, and we assessed their attractiveness and safety for nesting ducks in South Dakota. Nest success was markedly lower in cover crops than in perennial cover during both years of our study, including 2019 which was a best‐case scenario for cover crops, with extremely wet conditions delaying ...
