TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared the natural and anthropogenic controls on the conversion of unreactive N2 to more reactive forms of nitrogen (Nr) and found that human activities increasingly dominate the N budget at the global and at most regional scales, and the terrestrial and open ocean N budgets are essentially dis-connected.
Journal ArticleDOI
Big data and the future of ecology
Stephanie E. Hampton,Carly Strasser,Joshua J. Tewksbury,Wendy Gram,Amber E. Budden,Archer L. Batcheller,Clifford S. Duke,John H. Porter +7 more
TL;DR: The need for sound ecological science has escalated alongside the rise of the information age and "big data" across all sectors of society as discussed by the authors, which presents unprecedented opportunities for advancing science and inform- ing resource management through dataintensive approaches.

John H. Porter,Peter Arzberger,Hans-Werner Braun,Pablo Bryant,Stuart H. Gage,Todd Hansen,Paul C. Hanson,Chau-Chin Lin,Fang-Pang Lin,Timothy K. Kratz,William K. Michener,Sedra Shapiro,Thomas Williams +12 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors review some existing uses of WSNs, identify possible areas of application, and review the underlying technologies in the hope of stimulating additional use of this promising technology to address the grand challenges of environmental science.
Journal ArticleDOI
New Eyes on the World: Advanced Sensors for Ecology
John H. Porter,Eric S. Nagy,Timothy K. Kratz,Paul C. Hanson,Scott L. Collins,Peter Arzberger +5 more
TL;DR: The opportunities for sensor systems and, in particular, sensor networks are just beginning to be realized, with much more work to be done, including formulation of new questions, development of new sensors, better software, and new ways for researchers to work together across large distances.
