Abstract Dissolved silicate (DSi) export from rivers is shaped by both natural processes and human activities. Using long‐term observations at Lijin station combined with chemical weathering and reservoir silicon cycling models, we reconstructed annual DSi fluxes and source‐sink dynamics in the Yellow River Basin since the 1980s.

Climate Shapes the Ratio Between Aboveground Plant Biovolume and Topsoil Macronutrients Worldwide
ABSTRACT Soil nutrients are a major limiting factor for plant biomass, yet paradoxically, some of the most productive ecosystems thrive in nutrient‐poor soils. Here, we conducted a global field survey in 421 sites across all major biomes to investigate the environmental factors controlling the ratio between plant biovolume (a proxy for aboveground ...

Frozen Soil Hydrological Processes and Their Effects: A Review and Synthesis
Abstract Frozen soils, including seasonally frozen ground and permafrost, are rapidly changing under a warming climate, with cascading effects on water, energy, and carbon cycles. We synthesize recent advances in the physics, observation, and modeling of frozen‐soil hydrology, emphasizing freeze–thaw dynamics, infiltration regimes and preferential flow,

Abstract Grasslands support the majority of global livestock production systems while providing vital ecosystem services. Expansion of the livestock sector over recent decades has however placed enormous pressure on grasslands, with increasing greenhouse gas emissions that challenge the aspirations of climate mitigation.

The Arctic Coastal Erosion Model: Overview, Developments, and Calibration at Drew Point, Alaska
Abstract Permafrost coastlines are experiencing significant erosion as polar amplification has enhanced the effects of climate change in the Arctic. Warmer temperatures are increasing thermo‐denudation and more energetic oceans are increasing thermo‐abrasion in unlithified, ice‐bonded permafrost coastlines which comprise at least 40% of the circum ...
