Natural disasters are an increasingly costly and frequent occurrence globally and in the United States (IPCC, 2012; IPCC, 2014; Berlemann & Steinhardt, 2017). Discrete disaster events, such as coastal flooding, have been shown to be push factors in temporary and long-term migration (Black et al., 2013). Policy efforts to adapt...
Ammonia oxidation is the first and rate-limiting step in nitrification and is dominated by two distinct groups of microorganisms in soil: ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) and ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB). AOA are often more abundant than AOB and dominate activity in acid soils. The mechanism of ammonia oxidation under acidic conditions has...

Early-successional stages have been truncated and altered in many western U.S. forest landscapes by
planting conifers, controlling competing vegetation, suppressing fire, and focusing on maintaining late-seral
species and undisturbed riparian zones. Declining area of early-successional stages may be reducing
resilience and sustainability on landscapes that experience elevated disturbance related to...

Nuclear waste is going nowhere, and neither is the debate over its disposal. The problem, growing every day, has proven intractable, with policymakers on one side, armed with daunting technical data, and the public on the other, declaring: not in my backyard. This timely volume offers a look past our...

This study presents a methods evaluation and intercalibration of active fluorescence-based measurements of the quantum yield (ϕ'ₚₛᵢᵢ) and absorption coefficient (aₚₛᵢᵢ) of photosystem II (PSII) photochemistry. Measurements of ϕ'ₚₛᵢᵢ, aₚₛᵢᵢ, and irradiance (E) can be scaled to derive photosynthetic electron transport rates (Pₑ), the process that fuels phytoplankton carbon fixation...

Despite a large and multifaceted effort to understand the vast landscape of phenotypic data, their current form inhibits productive data analysis. The lack of a community-wide, consensus-based, human- and machine-interpretable language for describing phenotypes and their genomic and environmental contexts is perhaps the most pressing scientific bottleneck to integration across...
