TL;DR: This work identifies the contexts in which privacy violations are most likely to occur, such as working with high‐resolution spatial data, consumer data, smart meters, and/or digital trace data, and suggests practices for identifying and addressing privacy concerns at the individual, institutional, and disciplinary levels.

TL;DR: It is found that in the Kalahari, the root profiles of woody plants do not become deeper with increasing mean annual precipitation, whereas the root-to-shoot ratios decrease along a gradient of increasing aridity.

TL;DR: In this article, a combination of mechanical thinning and fire treatments are planned for 238,000 hectares (588,000 acres) of ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa) forests across central Arizona, USA.

TL;DR: The model results predict that the combination of climate change and high-severity fire will drive forest turnover, biomass declines, and compositional change in future forests, and the hydrologic model suggests that mid-elevation forests, which are the targets of restoration treatments, provide around 80% of runoff in this system and the conservation of mid- to high-elevision forests types provides the greatest benefit in terms of water conservation.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured actual evapotranspiration (ET) in semi-arid, high-elevation ponderosa pine forests of the southwestern USA and compared the capacity of models to predict ET in disturbed forests.
