Evaluating the influence of earthquakes on erosion, landscape evolution, and sediment-related hazards requires quantifying the number, location, and volume of co-seismic landslides following large earthquakes. Direct measurements of individual landslide volumes are difficult to accomplish and, as a result, rarely attempted. As an alternative, power-law scaling relationships between landslide volume and area—derived from global...

Biological communities within lake surface sediments play a vital role in biogeochemical cycling and ecosystem services. Knowledge on abundance‐occupancy patterns and assembly processes across large spatial scales and over multiple environmental gradients is limited, yet essential to aid in protection and restoration. In the present study, surface sediment samples were collected from 296 lakes across a wide spatial scale and c...
