Journal ArticleDOI
Integrated coastal reserve planning: making the land–sea connection
David M. Stoms,Frank W. Davis,Sandy J. Andelman,Mark H. Carr,Steven D. Gaines,Benjamin S. Halpern,Benjamin S. Halpern,Rainer Hoenicke,Scott G. Leibowitz,Al Leydecker,Elizabeth M. P. Madin,Heather Tallis,Robert R. Warner +12 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose an approach that evaluates terrestrial sites based on whether they benefit or harm marine species or habitats, and then consider a hypothetical example involving estuarine nurseries.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanisms underlying export of N from high-elevation catchments during seasonal transitions
James O. Sickman,Al Leydecker,Cecily C. Y. Chang,Carol Kendall,John M. Melack,Delores M. Lucero,Joshua P. Schimel +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the role of snowpack and soil nitrate in nitrogen export in high-elevation catchments of the Sierra Nevada using stable isotopes of nitrate and water, intensive monitoring of stream chemistry and detailed catchment N-budgets.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanisms for nutrient delivery to the inner shelf: Observations from the Santa Barbara Channel
Erika E. McPhee-Shaw,David A. Siegel,Libe Washburn,Mark A. Brzezinski,Janice L. Jones,Al Leydecker,John M. Melack +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, an in situ nitrate auto-analyzer on the moorings provided the first high-resolution time series of nitrate + nitrite (dissolved inorganic nitrogen, DIN) concentrations for this environment.
Journal ArticleDOI
A two-component hydrograph separation for three high-elevation catchments in the Sierra Nevada, California
TL;DR: In this article, two-component hydrograph separations were performed for three nested, nested, snowmelt-dominated catchments in Sequoia National Park to differentiate between the old and new water contributions to discharge during snow-melt using δ18O signatures.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nitrogen mass balances and abiotic controls on N retention and yield in high-elevation catchments of the Sierra Nevada, California, United States
TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of physical (snow regime, runoff, and precipitation) and chemical (N loading) forcings on the observed variability in annual catchment yield and retention of N.
