Review and Synthesis: Peatland and Wetland Models Simulating CH4 Production, Oxidation and Transport PathwaysNARA Subscribed
Peatlands play an important role in the global methane (CH 4 ) cycle and models are key tools to assess global change effects on CH 4 processes. It remains unclear how well existing wetland modelling frameworks are suited to peatland questions. Therefore, we reviewed the published literature on 16 peatland and wetland models and reported spatial and temporal scales, spin-up periods for stabilization of different carbon pools,...
Multi‐Model Ensembles in Ecosystem Modeling: Challenges and Best Practices for Decision‐MakingNARA Subscribed
Ecosystem models are increasingly central to the decision‐making for environmental policy, conservation planning, and climate‐related investments. Yet, the growing reliance on Multi‐Model Ensembles (MMEs) of ecosystem models by practitioners and policymakers, sometimes under tight timelines and imperfect information, has frequently outpaced the scientific rigor required to ensure ensemble reliability. Here, MMEs refer to appro...
Flux Footprints: A Critical Link to Bridge Eddy‐Covariance Measurements With Models, Remote Sensing, and Other ObservationsNARA Subscribed
Global networks of eddy‐covariance flux towers play a pivotal role in enhancing our predictive understanding of carbon and water cycling of biological systems in response to regional and global environmental change. Despite their broad application in numerous studies, the spatial aspects of the flux measurements have often been ignored or treated ambiguously, thereby remaining a primary source of uncertainty. The area contribu...
Rice plants accumulate arsenic (As), a toxic metalloid found both naturally and as a form of anthropogenic pollution in rice fields. Arsenic concentrations in rice grain may pose human health risks, particularly when consumed regularly or used in food products for infants and young children. The purpose of this review is to summarize evidence-based mitigation strategies for minimizing the As content of rice and establish recom...
Informing Nature‐based Climate Solutions for the United States with the best‐available scienceNARA Subscribed
Nature‐based Climate Solutions (NbCS) are managed alterations to ecosystems designed to increase carbon sequestration or reduce greenhouse gas emissions. While they have growing public and private support, the realizable benefits and unintended consequences of NbCS are not well understood. At regional scales where policy decisions are often made, NbCS benefits are estimated from soil and tree survey data that can miss importan...
Identifying dominant environmental predictors of freshwater wetland methane fluxes across diurnal to seasonal time scalesNARA Subscribed
While wetlands are the largest natural source of methane (CH 4 ) to the atmosphere, they represent a large source of uncertainty in the global CH 4 budget due to the complex biogeochemical controls on CH 4 dynamics. Here we present, to our knowledge, the first multi‐site synthesis of how predictors of CH 4 fluxes (FCH4) in freshwater wetlands vary across wetland types at diel, multiday (synoptic), and seasonal time scales. We...
