Vegetation change may have a greater impact on the amount of stream flow in the Sierra than the direct effects of climate warming

New publication in Plos One from Tague Team Lab member Ryan Bart with Naomi Tague and Max Moritz. The RHESSys model was used to examine the effects of tree-to-shrub type conversion, in combination with climate change, on streamflow in two lower montane forest watersheds in the Sierra Nevada.

Key ecological responses to nitrogen are altered by climate change

Naomi Tague was a collaborator with others on a new publication in Nature Climate Change that reviews how climate change alters key processes in terrestrial and freshwater ecosystems related to nitrogen cycling and availability, and the response of ecosystems to nitrogen addition in terms of carbon cycling, acidification and biodiversity. View the paper T. L. Greaver,Continue reading “Key ecological responses to nitrogen are altered by climate change”
