A predictive model for seasonal pond counts in the United States Prairie Pothole Region using large-scale climate connections

Environmental Research Letters, 2020
The Prairie Pothole Region (PPR), located in central North America, is an important region hydrologically and ecologically. Millions of wetlands, many containing ponds, are located here, and they serve as habitats for various biota and breeding grounds ...

Functional dispersion of wetland birds, invertebrates, and plants more strongly influenced by hydroperiod than each other

Ecosphere, 2022
The relative role of biological and abiotic filters in the assembly of co‐occurring taxa is of broad interest to ecologists. While some authors point to biological interactions (e.g., competition) as the stronger driver of ecological selection, others ...

Creating a Detailed Wetland Inventory with Sentinel-2 Time-Series Data and Google Earth Engine in the Prairie Pothole Region of Canada

Remote Sensing, 2022
Wetlands in the Prairie Pothole Region (PPR) of Canada and the United States represent a unique mapping challenge. They are dynamic both seasonally and year-to-year, are very small, and frequently altered by human activity. Many efforts have been made to

Varying the Combination of Hydrological Models in Time and Space: Toward a More Accurate Representation of Streamflow in Large‐Sample Hydrology

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Accurate predictions of streamflow are needed to manage water resources, evaluate flooding risks, and support agriculture and industry. Many hydrological studies rely on a single model structure and parameter set applied uniformly across space and held fixed over time, limiting their ability to represent spatiotemporal changes in hydrological ...

Planting miscanthus instead of row crops may increase the productivity and economic performance of farmed potholes

GCB Bioenergy, 2021
Climate change projections indicate that precipitation events in the central United States are expected to become more intense, more frequent in the spring, and less frequent in the summer.

Sediment microbial communities in long‐term wetland restorations within the Prairie Pothole Region of the United States

Restoration Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 4, May 2026.
Hydrologic wetland restoration in the Prairie Pothole Region is a common management practice to facilitate habitat and ecosystem recovery after degradation or drainage. Little is known about the recovery of sediment microbial communities relative to other organisms, such as vegetation, fish, and macroinvertebrates, even though they are critical for ...

Spatiotemporal dynamics of complex ecological networks: Power-law scaling and implications for conservation planning [PDF]

, 2008
Spatial constraints on the topology of complex networks are just beginning to be appreciated, both theoretically and in concrete examples like the Internet and global air transportation network.
