These data represent the extent and spatial distribution of irrigated acreage delineated from maximum Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) derived from Landsat scenes in the Walker River Basin, California and Nevada, at five-year intervals from 1975-2010. The field boundaries in this…
Biogeochemistry is the study of how chemical elements flow through living systems and their physical environments. It investigates the factors that influence cycles of key elements such as carbon, nitrogen and phosphorous. In the surface Atlantic Ocean, microbial lipid stoichiometry…
Like a sunflower sea star, with its 24 arms reaching across 3 feet or more, ocean organizations are working together to save this beautiful invertebrate. Not only for its beauty, its vibrant colors ranging from purple to orange and yellow, but because…
A new review traces nearly a century of rock mechanics research and argues that modern geoenergy and geological storage systems require predictive, system-level frameworks rather than descriptive interpretation. From Quarry Cracks to Deep Geoenergy: A Century of Rock Mechanics Revisited…
Two years of continuous measurements in a South Korean temperate forest show that low soil moisture constrains the temperature response of soil respiration. Subject of Research: Moisture dependence of the temperature response of soil respiration in a temperate deciduous broadleaved…
Fiji’s efforts to protect the Great Barrier Reef and strengthen coastal communities against climate change will receive a US$35.2 million grant from the Green Climate Fund (GCF) under a US$42.6 million Coral Reef Resilience Project. The project will restore more…
Record high temperatures this year forced European wine producers to harvest grapes much earlier than usual. French wineries fear it will lead to the worst season in 30 years. But Nordic newcomers to the world of wine are toasting what… By…
In a study spanning 192 sites and four continents, researchers have discovered that conifers planted in the Southern Hemisphere grow up to four times faster and are more drought-resistant than those growing in their native ranges. This expedited growth and resilience…
Downstream Missouri River states have worried for decades about receiving an insufficient flow of water from upstream dams. Now they're worried their share of water could be further diminished by potential pipelines for dry Western states. The concern is the…
A new review synthesizes VOC sources, occurrence, analytical methods and climate feedbacks in the Tibetan Plateau and polar regions. On the analytical side, the authors report that gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS) remains the most widely applied technique for…
