DOI: 10.1007/s10531-020-01937-3
Abstract: Understanding species richness patterns in time and space is critical for conservation management and ecological analyses. But estimates of species richness for a given place are often imprecise and incomplete, even when derived from expert-validated… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11356-017-0899-9
Abstract: In this study, we assess the validity of an African-scale groundwater pollution model for nitrates. In a previous study, we identified a statistical continental-scale groundwater pollution model for nitrate. The model was identified using a… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.earscirev.2019.102998
Abstract: Abstract Although there are still slight differences during some periods, the global surface air temperature (SAT) change series developed by different groups are generally very consistent with each other. However, there are still considerable uncertainties… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.geoderma.2018.10.030
Abstract: Abstract Microbial activity and functioning in soils are strongly limited by carbon (C) availability, of which a great proportion is released by living roots. Rhizodeposition and especially root exudates stimulate microbial activity and growth, and… read more here.

Accelerating the Lagrangian Particle Tracking in Hydrologic Modeling to Continental‐Scale
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2023 at "Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems"
DOI: 10.1029/2022ms003507
Abstract: Unprecedented climate change and anthropogenic activities have induced increasing ecohydrological problems, motivating the development of large‐scale hydrologic modeling for solutions. Water age/quality is as important as water quantity for understanding the terrestrial water cycle. However,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41558-018-0245-3
Abstract: Temperature scaling studies suggest that hourly rainfall magnitudes might increase beyond thermodynamic expectations with global warming1–3; that is, above the Clausius–Clapeyron (CC) rate of ~6.5% °C−1. However, there is limited evidence of such increases in long-term… read more here.
