Restoration for Wild Bee Community Recovery in the Prairie Pothole Region

open access: yes, 2021
Agricultural intensification is a widespread driver of global pollinator decline, which can subsequently threaten the ecosystem services provided to flowering food crops and wild vegetation species. In North America's Prairie Pothole Region, wetlands surrounded by grassland were once abundant on the landscape, but now generally exist within a matrix of

Genetics of Flooding Tolerance in an F2 Miscanthus sacchariflorus ssp. lutarioriparius × M. sinensis Population

open access: yesGCB Bioenergy, Volume 18, Issue 8, August 2026.
An experiment to map flooding tolerance in Miscanthus ×giganteus was conducted. Two phenotyping protocols (A and B) and different pipelines to call SNPs were used. TASSEL‐GBSv2 resulted in a genetic map with smaller QTL intervals than the other maps.

Biofilms, Bugs, and the Built Environment: Exploring Local and Landscape Drivers of Diatom and Macroinvertebrate Assemblages in Urban Stormwater Ponds

open access: yesWater Environment Research, Volume 98, Issue 7, July 2026.
Urban stormwater ponds support pollution‐tolerant diatom and macroinvertebrate assemblages that are shaped more by local water quality, contaminants, and habitat features than by surrounding land use. Integrating biological monitoring can better inform stormwater management and urban biodiversity planning.

Semi‐Bayesian Space‐Time Hierarchical Framework for Modeling and Prediction of Seasonal and Extreme Precipitation in the U.S. Northern Great Plains

open access: yesWater Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract We adapt a semi‐Bayesian hierarchical modeling framework to jointly characterize the space–time variability of seasonal precipitation totals and precipitation extremes across the Northern Great Plains (NGP). In this framework, seasonal precipitation totals at each station and year are modeled using a Gamma distribution, while seasonal maximum ...

Evaporation and Near‐Surface Heat Transport in Groundwater Discharge Areas

open access: yesWater Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract I present a model of coupled advective/conductive heat transport that incorporates key processes acting in the near‐surface environment of a groundwater discharge zone, including convective heat transfer between the land surface and the atmosphere and evaporative cooling.

Assessing Wetland Changes in the Prairie Pothole Region of Minnesota from 1980 to 2007

open access: yesJournal of Fish and Wildlife Management, 2010
Abstract Wetlands in the Minnesota Prairie Pothole Region are critical landscape elements because of their unmatched importance to breeding waterfowl, and other wildlife. They provide vast benefits to store runoff or act as nutrient sinks and offer other environmental and socio-economic returns.

Land Surface Phenologies and Seasonalities in the US Prairie Pothole Region Coupling AMSR Passive Microwave Data with the USDA Cropland Data Layer

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2019
Land surface phenologies and seasonalities in the US Prairie Pothole Region (PPR) were characterized using land surface variables derived from the coarse spatial resolution (25 km) Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer (AMSR) blended data for 2003 to ...

Hydroclimate Variability and Change in the Prairie Pothole Region, the “Duck Factory” of North America*

open access: yesEarth Interactions, 2014
Abstract The Prairie Pothole Region (PPR) of the northern Great Plains is a vital ecosystem responsible each year for producing 50%–80% of new recruits to the North American duck population. Climate variability and change can impact the hydrology and ecology of the region with implications for waterfowl populations.

Effects of energy development on wetland plants and macroinvertebrate communities in Prairie Pothole Region wetlands

open access: yesJournal of Freshwater Ecology, 2017
Energy production in the Williston Basin, USA, results in the coproduction of highly saline, sodium chloride-dominated water (brine). The Prairie Pothole Region (PPR) overlies the northeastern portion of the Williston Basin.
