Tidal wetlands provide valuable ecosystem services, including storing large amounts of carbon. However, the net exchanges of carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) in tidal wetlands are highly uncertain. While several biogeochemical models can operate in tidal wetlands, they have yet to be parameterized and validated against high-frequency, …

Surface ozone monitoring sites in the tropics are limited, despite the risk that surface ozone poses to human health, tropical forest and crop productivity. Atmospheric chemistry models allow us to assess ozone exposure in unmonitored locations and evaluate the potential influence of changing policies and climate on air quality, …

Bottomland hardwood wetland forests along the Atlantic Coast of the United States have been changing over time; this change has been exceptionally apparent in the last two decades. Tree mortality is one of the most visually striking changes occurring in these coastal forests today. Using 2009–2019 tree mortality data from a bottomland …

Evapotranspiration (ET) links water, energy, and carbon balances, and its magnitude and patterns are changing due to climate and land use change in the southeastern U.S. Quantifying the environmental controls on ET is essential for developing reliable ecohydrological models for water resources management. Here, we synthesized eddy …

Climate change is affecting the phenology of terrestrial ecosystems. In deciduous forests, phenology in leaf area index (LAI) is the primary driver of seasonal variation in the fraction of absorbed photosynthetically active radiation (fAPAR), which drives photosynthesis. Remote sensing has been widely used to estimate LAI and fAPAR. …

To decrease negative environmental impacts associated with row crop agriculture, the conversion of conventional agricultural lands to no-till with cover crops or to restored prairie in the Midwest U.S. has been proposed and has the potential to alter hydrologic behavior. Our understanding of the impacts of this conversion on water …

Measurements of ecosystem carbon (C) fluxes in temperate forests are concentrated in the Northern Hemisphere, leaving the functionally diverse temperate forests in the Southern Hemisphere underrepresented. Here, we report three years (February 2018-January 2021) of C fluxes, studied with eddy-covariance and closed chamber techniques, …
