Wildfire is a major driver of nitrogen (N) cycling and export from terrestrial to aquatic
systems. While fire is a natural process in many watersheds, it can still degrade water quality …

Climate change has lengthened wildfire seasons and transformed fire regimes throughout
the world. Thus, capturing fuel and fire dynamics is critical for projecting Earth system …

Recent findings point to plant root traits as potentially important for shaping the boundaries
of biomes and for maintaining the plant communities within. We examined two hypotheses …

Climate change and nitrogen (N) pollution are altering biogeochemical and ecohydrological
processes in dryland watersheds, increasing N export, and threatening water quality. While …

Wildfires may increase soil emissions of trace nitrogen (N) gases like nitric oxide (NO) and
nitrous oxide (N2O) by changing soil physicochemical conditions and altering microbial …

The magnitude of forest fires' impacts on the environment is directly related to the changes
induced on soil physical, chemical and biological properties. Using available organic …

Context This study provides a unified, holistic framework for predicting the dynamics of shrub-
grass conversion throughout Mediterranean-climate shrublands. This work focuses …

Wildfires affect vast areas of Mediterranean forests, thereby triggering changes in
hydrological and geomorphological processes that can negatively affect both terrestrial and …

Catchments along California's coast, and those with mediterranean climates elsewhere,
experience large seasonal and interannual variations in rainfall, and occasional fires; land …

We propose a conceptual model that examines the 'variable source area'(VSA) and 'nitrate
flushing'hypothesis in the vertical direction, and use this approach to explain nitrate …
