Journal ArticleDOI
Grazing systems, ecosystem responses, and global change
Gregory P. Asner,Gregory P. Asner,Andrew J. Elmore,Lydia Olander,Roberta E. Martin,A. Thomas Harris +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identified three regional syndromes inherent to global grazing: desertification, woody encroachment, and deforestation, which have widespread but differential effects on the structure, biogeochemistry, hydrology and biosphere-atmosphere exchange of grazed ecosystems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Global patterns of foliar nitrogen isotopes and their relationships with climate, mycorrhizal fungi, foliar nutrient concentrations, and nitrogen availability
Joseph M. Craine,Andrew J. Elmore,Marcos P. M. Aidar,Mercedes M. C. Bustamante,Todd E. Dawson,Erik A. Hobbie,Ansgar Kahmen,Michelle C. Mack,Kendra K. McLauchlan,Anders Michelsen,Gabriela Bielefeld Nardoto,Linda H. Pardo,Josep Peñuelas,Peter B. Reich,Edward A. G. Schuur,William D. Stock,Pamela H. Templer,Ross A. Virginia,Jeffrey M. Welker,Ian J. Wright +19 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that warm, dry ecosystems have the highest N availability, while plants with high N concentrations, on average, occupy sites with higher N availability than plants with low N concentrations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quantifying vegetation change in semiarid environments: precision and accuracy of spectral mixture analysis and the normalized difference vegetation index.
TL;DR: In this article, the precision and accuracy of Spectral Mixture Analysis (SMA) and Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) applied to Landsat TM data, are assessed quantitatively using high-precision in situ data.
Journal ArticleDOI
Disappearing headwaters: patterns of stream burial due to urbanization
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured the occurrence of stream burial within a major tributary to the Chesapeake Bay, for streams with catchment areas ranging from 10 ha to 104 ha.
Journal ArticleDOI
Timing of climate variability and grassland productivity
Joseph M. Craine,Jesse B. Nippert,Andrew J. Elmore,Adam M. Skibbe,Stacy L. Hutchinson,Nathaniel A. Brunsell +5 more
TL;DR: The effects of drought and heat waves declined over the season and had no detectable impact on grass productivity in August, suggesting that predictions of ecosystem response to climate change will have to account for the magnitude and timing of climate variability.
