Abstract Land surface models are crucial components within earth system models, simulating the exchanges of water, energy, carbon, and nitrogen between the land surface, atmosphere, and subsurface. One challenge is the large number of uncertain parameters in these models.

Under fire and heat: Managing mountain grasslands in a hotter world
Our findings suggest that, although plant community composition appeared resistant to direct warming, warming increased biomass, with potential implications for fuel accumulation and fire severity. Differences in biomass and vegetation among fire frequencies mediated the effects of warming on near‐surface microclimate, including soil and surface ...

This study shows that the relationship between herbivore abundance and herbivory can be decoupled across vertical forest layers through resource dilution, challenging the assumption that more herbivores result in more per‐leaf damage. The effects of woody plant diversity and structure on beech herbivores depend on whether a stratum functions as a ...

Predicted Stream Temperatures Suggest Challenges for Pacific Salmon in Coming Decades
ABSTRACT Stream temperature is a key performance driver for aquatic species and a direct metric of climate impacts. We adapted a stream temperature model to predict daily temperatures across the Pacific Northwest USA through 2100. Our results suggested that stream temperatures may rise by ~1°C by the 2050's and 2°C by the 2080's, with seasonal and ...

Abstract Ecological surveys are often fragmented, costly and limited in scale, leading to large and long‐standing knowledge gaps which threaten our ability to properly safeguard biodiversity. Passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) has promised to deliver automated biodiversity monitoring, but networks are rarely deployed on scales that can offer truly novel

ABSTRACT Aim To identify hotspots and conservation priorities of biodiversity based on winter‐informed species distribution models for cold‐adapted mammals and birds, and their taxonomic, phylogenetic, and functional richness. Location The United States of America.

(In)determinacy in Woody Plants: Limits and Opportunities for Timing Growth in a Changing Climate
Tree growth is shaped not only by temperature and water availability, but also by intrinsic developmental programming that constrains when and how long meristems remain active. We use (in)determinacy—the continuum from fixed, preformed seasonal growth to more flexible, ongoing organ production—to predict how species will differ in risk exposure ...

Rewetting drained boreal peatland forests is increasingly promoted as a climate mitigation strategy, yet its effects on carbon (C) and greenhouse gas (GHG) balances remain uncertain. This study quantified CO2 and CH4 fluxes over 2 years before and after rewetting in a low‐productive peatland forest, with and without tree harvest.

Prioritizing Conservation of Trailing‐Edge Populations for Future Climate‐Resilient Forests
Climate change threatens warm‐ and dry‐edge tree populations that may harbor adaptive genetic variation important for future forest resilience. We identified trailing‐edge populations for frequent and widespread North American tree species using climate and forest inventory data, then prioritized conservation actions based on projected forest habitat ...
