Climate change is multi-faceted, and includes changing concentrations of greenhouse
gases in the atmosphere, rising temperatures, changes in precipitation patterns, and …

Globally, winter temperatures are rising, and snowpack is shrinking or disappearing entirely.
Despite previous research and published literature reviews, it remains unknown whether …

Despite the fundamental importance of soil temperature for Earth's carbon and energy
budgets, ecosystem functioning, and agricultural production, studies of climate change …

Cold region hydrology is conditioned by distinct cryospheric and hydrological processes.
While snowmelt is the main contributor to both surface and subsurface flows, seasonally …

Climate change is expected to increase stream temperatures and the projected warming
may alter the spatial extent of habitat for cold-water fish and other aquatic taxa. Recent …

Land carbon dynamics in temperate and boreal ecosystems are sensitive to environmental
change. Accurately simulating gross primary productivity (GPP) and its seasonality is key for …

Terrestrial ecosystems carbon and water cycles are tightly coupled through photosynthesis
and evapotranspiration processes. The ratios of carbon stored to carbon uptake and water …

Protecting water quality in forested regions is increasingly important as pressures from land-
use, long-range transport of air pollutants, and climate change intensify. Maintaining forest …

Riparian buffers are the primary tool in forest management for protecting the habitat structure
and function of streams. They help protect against biogeochemical perturbation, filter …

Global warming influences a series of ecological processes and ecosystems' stability.
Although comprehensive studies have been done to investigate responses of various …
