Unprecedented Burning in Tropical Peatlands During the 20th Century Compared to the Previous Two MillenniaNARA Subscribed
Tropical peatland wildfire incidence has risen in recent decades, driven by drainage for land use and intensified by severe droughts with global climate change. These disturbances have altered vegetation structure, disrupted ecosystem functioning, and increased carbon emissions, particularly in Southeast Asia. However, the long‐term history and characteristics of wildfires in tropical peatlands remain largely unknown. Here, we...
Native vegetation is planted in wetland restoration projects to supplement natural recruitment and achieve a habitat mix that supports ecological functioning. The native cordgrass Spartina foliosa —an ecosystem engineer with a wide elevation range—is frequently planted in wetland restorations in Southern California to jumpstart low marsh development. Although plantings can increase vegetation cover, planted S. foliosa can also...
The Response and Recovery of Carbon and Water Fluxes in Australian Ecosystems Exposed to Severe DroughtNARA Subscribed
Climate change‐driven increases in drought risk pose a critical threat to global carbon and water cycles. However, ecosystem‐scale responses remain poorly quantified, particularly for severe, multiyear drought events. We addressed this gap by examining ecosystem‐scale carbon and water flux sensitivity to the extreme 2018–19 drought in Australia using data from 14 eddy covariance flux sites. The ecosystems span grasslands and s...
Minimum information for reporting on the TEER (trans-epithelial/endothelial electrical resistance) assay (MIRTA)NARA Subscribed
Standard information reporting helps to ensure that assay conditions and data are consistently reported and to facilitate inter-laboratory comparisons. Here, we present recommendations on minimum information for reporting on the TEER (trans-epithelial/endothelial electrical resistance) assay (MIRTA). The TEER assay is extensively used to evaluate the health of an epithelial/endothelial cell culture model and as an indicator of...
Evaluation of techniques for controlling non-native sea lavenders in California coastal salt marshesNARA Subscribed
Two species of non-native sea lavender, Limonium ramosissimum (Poir.) Maire (Algerian sea lavender) and Limonium duriusculum (Girard) Fourr. (European sea lavender) are prolific invaders of California salt marshes. We examined the efficacy of three non-herbicide treatments [tarping, selective removal (hand pulling), and scraping], and one herbicide (Telar®) treatment, in eliminating L. ramosissimum and L. duriusulum , as well...
SNAPSHOT USA 2021: A third coordinated national camera trap survey of the U nited S tatesNARA Subscribed
SNAPSHOT USA is a multicontributor, long‐term camera trap survey designed to survey mammals across the United States. Participants are recruited through community networks and directly through a website application ( https://www.snapshot-usa.org/ ). The growing Snapshot dataset is useful, for example, for tracking wildlife population responses to land use, land cover, and climate changes across spatial and temporal scales. Her...
Oxygen is declining globally in subsurface seawater. Fjords are particularly susceptible to hypoxia, because entrance sills restrict water circulation. We studied the oxygen dynamics of the Kitimat Fjord System on the west coast of Canada, using 3 yr of data from moored sensors and water column profiles. Subsurface oxygen within the fjord system is principally controlled by the connection to Hecate Strait on the outer shelf. V...
Peatlands of the central Congo Basin have accumulated carbon over millennia. They currently store some 29 billion tonnes of carbon in peat. However, our understanding of the controls on peat carbon accumulation and loss and the vulnerability of this stored carbon to climate change is in its infancy. Here we present a new model of tropical peatland development, DigiBog_Congo, that we use to simulate peat carbon accumulation and...
Evaluation of roost culling as a management strategy for reducing invasive rose-ringed parakeet (Psittacula krameri) populationsNARA Subscribed
Rose-ringed parakeets ( Psittacula krameri ) are one of the most widespread invasive avian species worldwide. This species was introduced to the island of Kaua‘i, Hawai‘i, USA, in the 1960s. The rapidly increasing population has caused substantial economic losses in the agricultural and tourism industries. We evaluated the efficacy of a roost culling program conducted by an independent contractor from March 2020 to March 2021....
