Trading water for carbon with biological carbon sequestration
Robert B. Jackson,Esteban G. Jobbágy,Roni Avissar,S. Baidya Roy,Damian Barrett,Charles W. Cook,Kathleen A. Farley,D. Le Maitre,Bruce A. McCarl,Brian C. Murray +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors combined field research, synthesis of more than 600 observations, and climate and economic modeling to document substantial losses in stream flow, and increased soil salinization and acidification, with afforestation.

Trading water for carbon with biological carbon sequestration
Robert B. Jackson,Esteban G. Jobbágy,Esteban G. Jobbágy,Roni Avissar,Somnath Baidya Roy,Damian Barrett,Charles W. Cook,Kathleen A. Farley,David C. Le Maitre,Bruce A. McCarl,Brian C. Murray +10 more
TL;DR: This work combined field research, synthesis of more than 600 observations, and climate and economic modeling to document substantial losses in stream flow, and increased soil salinization and acidification, with afforestation in tree plantations.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Parameterization of Heterogeneous Land Surfaces for Atmospheric Numerical Models and Its Impact on Regional Meteorology
Roni Avissar,Roger A. Pielke +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a parameterization of the subgrid-scale forcing of heterogeneous land surfaces for atmospheric numerical models is suggested, where similar homogeneous land patches located at different places within the element are regrouped into subgrid classes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanisms of long-distance dispersal of seeds by wind
Ran Nathan,Gabriel G. Katul,Henry S. Horn,Suvi M. Thomas,Ram Oren,Roni Avissar,Stephen W. Pacala,Simon A. Levin +7 more
TL;DR: Simulations show that uplifting above the forest canopy is necessary and sufficient for LDD, hence, they provide the means to define LDD quantitatively rather than arbitrarily, and seed uplifting probability sets an upper bound on the probability of long-distance colonization.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interactions between the atmosphere and terrestrial ecosystems: influence on weather and climate
Roger A. Pielke,Roni Avissar,Michael R. Raupach,A. Johannes Dolman,Xubin Zeng,A. Scott Denning +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors overview the short-term and long-term influences of the land surface on weather and climate, and conclude that terrestrial ecosystem dynamics on these timescales significantly influence atmospheric processes.
