Journal ArticleDOI
Precipitation pulses and carbon fluxes in semiarid and arid ecosystems
Travis E. Huxman,Keirith A. Snyder,David T. Tissue,A. Joshua Leffler,Kiona Ogle,William T. Pockman,Darren R. Sandquist,Daniel Potts,Susan Schwinning +8 more
TL;DR: It is shown that pulse size regulates C balance by determining the temporal duration of activity for different components of the biota, and a greater understanding of the complexities of these eco-hydrologic systems may enhance the ability to describe the ecology of desert ecosystems and their sensitivity to global change.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ecohydrological implications of woody plant encroachment
Travis E. Huxman,Bradford P. Wilcox,David D. Breshears,Russell L. Scott,Keirith A. Snyder,Eric E. Small,Kevin R. Hultine,William T. Pockman,A. N. D. Robert B. Jackson +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a simplified water-balance model is proposed for con- ceptualizing how woody plant encroachment is likely to affect components of the water cycle within these ecosystems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Water sources used by riparian trees varies among stream types on the San Pedro River, Arizona.
TL;DR: In this paper, the fraction of tree transpiration water derived from unsaturated soil zone and groundwater in a riparian forest was quantified for Populus fremontii, Salix gooddingii, and Prosopis velutina across a gradient of groundwater depth and streamflow regime on the San Pedro River in southeastern Arizona, US.
Journal ArticleDOI
Seasonal estimates of riparian evapotranspiration using remote and in situ measurements.
David C. Goodrich,Russell L. Scott,Jiaguo Qi,B. Goff,Carl L. Unkrich,M.S. Moran,David G. Williams,Sean M. Schaeffer,Keirith A. Snyder,R MacNish,Thomas Maddock,D. Pool,A.G. Chehbouni,D. I. Cooper,William E. Eichinger,William James Shuttleworth,Yann Kerr,Robin Marsett,W. Ni +18 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a series of interdisciplinary experimental campaigns were conducted in 1997 in the San Pedro Basin in southeastern Arizona to estimate seasonal riparian evapotranspiration (ET).
Journal ArticleDOI
Multi-scale temporal variation in water availability: Implications for vegetation dynamics in arid and semi-arid ecosystems
Keirith A. Snyder,S.L. Tartowski +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors illustrate the importance of variation in water availability to temporal variation in vegetation dynamics in arid and semi-arid ecosystems, and hypothesize that fine-scale pulses of precipitation interact with longer scale variation in climate and weather to generate temporal variations in plant community composition.
