Seasonal managed wetlands in the San Francisco Estuary are novel habitats that can support aquatic food webs. However, their potential to benefit fish in the estuary is poorly understood. We quantified wetland zooplankton production dynamics to assess whether outflows from wetlands might be used to subsidize fishes. Our study goals were to (1) compare seasonal zooplankton trends between wetlands and adjacent waters, (2) identi...

Tidal freshwater habitats in the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta (Delta), USA, face multiple environmental stressors, including declining turbidity and invasion by submersed aquatic vegetation (SAV). We used a decade of monitoring data (2013–2023) in two tidal slough networks in the north Delta to (1) estimate trends in SAV, water clarity (Secchi depth), and abundance of pelagic, littoral, and benthic fish species; (2) iden...

Studies of terrestrial support of aquatic food webs have focused primarily on terrestrial organic matter (t‐OM) directly used by animal and microbial consumers. However, dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) released from t‐OM might also support aquatic primary producers, a key resource for zooplankton and upper trophic levels. Using 2‐yr 13 C measurements of algae, zooplankton, terrestrial detritus, sediments, dissolved and partic...

Impairment of hand motor function is a frequent consequence after a stroke and strongly determines the ability to regain a self-determined life. An influential research strategy for improving motor deficits is the combined application of behavioral training and non-invasive brain stimulation of the motor cortex (M1). However, a convincing clinical translation of the present stimulation strategies has not been achieved yet. One...

The relatively short atmospheric lifetimes of methane (CH 4 ) and black carbon (BC) have focused attention on the potential for reducing anthropogenic climate change by reducing Short-Lived Climate Forcer (SLCF) emissions. This paper examines radiative forcing and global mean temperature results from the Energy Modeling Forum (EMF)-30 multi-model suite of scenarios addressing CH 4 and BC mitigation, the two major short-lived c...

Several studies have shown that the greenhouse gas reduction resulting from the current nationally determined contributions (NDCs) will not be enough to meet the overall targets of the Paris Climate Agreement. It has been suggested that more ambition mitigations of short-lived climate forcer (SLCF) emissions could potentially be a way to reduce the risk of overshooting the 1.5 or 2 °C target in a cost-effective way. In this st...

This study examines model-specific assumptions and projections of methane (CH 4 ) emissions in deep mitigation scenarios generated by integrated assessment models (IAMs). For this, scenarios of nine models are compared in terms of sectoral and regional CH 4 emission reduction strategies, as well as resulting climate impacts. The models’ projected reduction potentials are compared to sector and technology-specific reduction pot...

The functional role of herbivores in tropical rainforests remains poorly understood. We quantified the magnitude of, and underlying controls on, carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus cycled by invertebrate herbivory along a 2800 m elevational gradient in the tropical Andes spanning 12°C mean annual temperature. We find, firstly, that leaf area loss is greater at warmer sites with lower foliar phosphorus, and secondly, that the estim...
