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
Aridity and plant uptake interact to make dryland soils hotspots for nitric oxide (NO) emissions.
Peter M. Homyak,Joseph C. Blankinship,Kenneth Marchus,Delores M. Lucero,James O. Sickman,Joshua P. Schimel +5 more
TL;DR: Aridity and vegetation interact to maintain a leaky N cycle during periods when plant N uptake is low, and hydrologically disconnected soils favor both microbial and abiotic NO-producing mechanisms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identifying sources of dissolved organic carbon in agriculturally dominated rivers using radiocarbon age dating: Sacramento-San Joaquin River Basin, California
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used radiocarbon measurements of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) to resolve sources of riverine carbon within agriculturally dominated landscapes in California during 2003 and 2004.
Journal ArticleDOI
20th Century Atmospheric Deposition and Acidification Trends in Lakes of the Sierra Nevada, California, USA
Andrea M. Heard,James O. Sickman,Neil L. Rose,Danuta M. Bennett,Delores M. Lucero,John M. Melack,Jason H. Curtis +6 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that ANC depletion at Moat and Emerald lakes was principally caused by acid deposition, and recovery in ANC after 1970 can be attributed to the United States Clean Air Act.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quantifying atmospheric N deposition in dryland ecosystems: A test of the Integrated Total Nitrogen Input (ITNI) method.
James O. Sickman,Amanda E. James,Mark E. Fenn,Andrzej Bytnerowicz,Delores M. Lucero,Peter M. Homyak +5 more
TL;DR: The integrated total nitrogen input (ITNI) method offers a holistic approach to measuring atmospheric N deposition in arid ecosystems, although more study is needed to understand how watering rates effect N deposition measurements.
