Novel applications of carbon isotopes in atmospheric CO2: what can atmospheric measurements teach us about processes in the biosphere? [PDF]
Conventionally, measurements of carbon isotopes in atmospheric CO2 (δ13CO2) have been used to partition fluxes between terrestrial and ocean carbon pools.

Multi‐Decadal Change in Western US Nighttime Vapor Pressure Deficit [PDF]
AbstractAmid reports from western US wildland fire managers that, compared to when many started their careers, fires are burning longer throughout the day before reducing in intensity overnight, we examined decadal changes in nighttime vapor pressure deficits over the western United States with a focus on the summer fire season.

Stomatal control of leaf fluxes of carbonyl sulfide and CO2 in a Typha freshwater marsh [PDF]
Carbonyl sulfide (COS) is an emerging tracer to constrain land photosynthesis at canopy to global scales, because leaf COS and CO2 uptake processes are linked through stomatal diffusion.

Living Close to Your Neighbors: The Importance of Both Competition and Facilitation in Plant Communities [PDF]
Recent work has demonstrated that competition and facilitation likely operate jointly in plant communities, but teasing out the relative role of each has proven difficult.

Mapping Atmospheric Moisture Climatologies across the Conterminous United States. [PDF]
Spatial climate datasets of 1981-2010 long-term mean monthly average dew point and minimum and maximum vapor pressure deficit were developed for the conterminous United States at 30-arcsec (~800m) resolution.
