Relations of interannual differences in stream litter breakdown with discharge: bioassessment implications
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Ecosphere"
DOI: 10.1002/ecs2.2423
Abstract: Ecosystem‐level processes are increasingly used by researchers and managers as indicators of ecological integrity for bioassessment, particularly in streams. However, processes like litter breakdown integrate multiple mechanistic pathways, which can vary differentially even under natural,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ecolind.2017.10.060
Abstract: Abstract In response to the need to assess the ecological quality or health of marine benthic habitats, there has been a proliferation of biotic indices based on soft sediment macrofaunal communities. While shown to be… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.indcrop.2019.111474
Abstract: Abstract Optimum utilization of lignocellulosic bioenergy feedstock, such as switchgrass, via recovery of value-added phytochemicals and reduction of waste streams will increase the economic feasibility as well as the sustainability of integrated biorefineries. Switchgrass contains… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvrad.2020.106371
Abstract: Abstract A geochemical speciation model was developed to predict Distribution coefficients (Kds) of radionuclides (RNs) in rivers. The model takes into account complexation of RNs with inorganic ligands, sorption of RNs with hydrous ferric oxides,… 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.

DOI: 10.1038/s41558-018-0350-3
Abstract: Observed Southern Ocean surface cooling and sea-ice expansion over the past several decades are inconsistent with many historical simulations from climate models. Here we show that natural multidecadal variability involving Southern Ocean convection may have… read more here.
