Mechanisms underlying export of N from high-elevation catchments during seasonal transitions

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

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.
