TL;DR: In this article, a decade-long field study that traced the decomposition of 13C-and 15N-labeled Pinus ponderosa needle and fine root litter placed in O or A soil horizons of a sandy Alfisol under a coniferous forest was conducted.

TL;DR: This article showed that when negative forcing from agricultural expansion is approximately balanced by a radiatively equivalent increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide, significant changes in temperature, precipitation, and the timing of climate change result.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors report two years of eddy covariance ecosystem-atmosphere fluxes and biometric variables measured in nearby burned and unburned pastures in the US Southern Great Plains.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors modeled changes in near-surface water contents with decreasing surface elevation among polygon features at the Barrow Experimental Observatory (BEO) were modelled from topographic effects on redistribution of surface water and snow, and from lateral water exchange with a subsurface water table during a model run from 1981 to 2015.

TL;DR: In this article, a quantified observation of the time series of clear-sky radiative forcing by CH4 at the surface from 2002 to 2012 at a single site derived from spectroscopic measurements along with line-by-line calculations using ancillary data.
