DOI: 10.1038/s41561-018-0134-4
Abstract: Perennial rivers and streams make a disproportionate contribution to global carbon (C) cycling. However, the contribution of intermittent rivers and ephemeral streams (IRES), which sometimes cease to flow and can dry completely, is largely ignored… read more here.

DOI: 10.1073/pnas.1707984115
Abstract: Significance A focus in ecology is understanding the processes that govern ecosystem productivity and biodiversity. A multitude of co-occurring biological mechanisms shape these properties in plant communities, but the relative importance of specific processes remains… read more here.
