Potential role of permafrost thaw on increasing Siberian river discharge

Environmental Research Letters, 2021
Despite the increasing Siberian river discharge, the sensitivity of streamflow to climate forcing/permafrost thawing is poorly quantified. Based on the Budyko framework and superposition principles, we detected and attributed the changes in streamflow ...

Aftermath of the Forest Carbon Credit Crisis as Experienced by Restoration and Conservation Organisations

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In 2023, The Guardian reported on several scientific studies denouncing the role of certain forest carbon credits in mitigating climate change. Subsequently, credit prices on the voluntary carbon market (VCM) plummeted—providing a quantitative indication of its impact.

Analysing the Effects of Atmospheric Teleconnections on Streamflow Regime in the Eastern Black Sea Basin in Türkiye

Doğal Afetler ve Çevre Dergisi
Analysing the variations in hydrological cycle components is essential for water resources planning and management. In this study, the relationship between the streamflow data belonging to five discharge gauging stations in the Eastern Black Sea Basin in

Long‐term demographic study reveals stabilizing mechanisms of salt marsh plants under climate change

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Despite its critical importance for biodiversity conservation, population persistence in multiple habitats under climate change has rarely been evaluated using long‐term demographic data.

Streamflow Response to Glacier Mass Loss Varies With Basin Precipitation Across Alaska

Water Resources Research
Diminishing glaciers affect streamflow, and given the extent of glaciers in Alaska and adjacent Canada, continued glacier mass loss is likely to have profound effects on ecosystems sensitive to runoff.

GOVERNING THE CLOUD: Infrastructural Statecraft and the Political Ecology of Digital Expansion in Oregon

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Oregon's wave of data center and semiconductor projects shows how cloud capitalism reorganizes resource systems and territorial governance. Examining Amazon, Google, and Intel, the article traces how fiscal incentives, utility programs, and land‐use instruments are recalibrated to secure hyperscale loads.

Direct vegetation response to recent CO2 rise shows limited effect on global streamflow

Nature Communications
Global streamflow, crucial for ecology, agriculture, and human activities, can be influenced by elevated atmospheric CO2 (eCO2) though direct regulation of vegetation physiology and structure, which can either decrease or increase streamflow.

The Construction of an Environmental Villain: A Discourse Analysis of Upland Maize Farming in Thailand

Asia Pacific Viewpoint, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Since the mid‐2010s, Thai public discourse has villainised upland maize cultivation in northern Thailand for deforestation and environmental degradation through the popular imagery of bald mountains. The attention has prompted a new wave of land‐use interventions urging upland smallholders to replace maize with trees and perennials.

Multi-variable SWAT model calibration with remotely sensed evapotranspiration and observed flow

RBRH, 2017
Although intrinsic, uncertainty for hydrological model estimation is not always reported. The aim of this study is to evaluate the use of satellite-based evapotranspiration on SWAT model calibration, regarding uncertainty and model performance in ...

Integrated species distribution modeling to assess species status and current and future threats for an imperiled amphibian

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
To understand the range‐wide drivers of Arizona Toad distribution and anticipate future changes, we combined 13 datasets covering distinct portions of the range in an integrated species distribution model. We estimate that the current occupied range is 1/4–1/3 of previously defined range boundaries and that increasingly dry conditions will lead to ...
