Assessing the Impact of a Utility Scale Solar Photovoltaic Facility on a Down Gradient Mojave Desert Ecosystem Open
A field study was conducted in the Mojave Desert (USA) to assess the influence of a large photo voltaic facility on heat and water transport into an adjacent creosote (Larrea tridentata) bursage (Ambrosia dumosa) plant community. Air tempe…

High and Low Air Temperatures and Natural Wildfire Ignitions in the Sierra Nevada Region Open
The Sierra Nevada region has experienced substantial wildfire impacts. Uncertainty pertaining to fire risk may be reduced by better understanding how air temperature (Ta: °C) influences wildfire ignitions independently of other factors. We…

Not Only Severe Events: Moderate Dry Periods Impact the Hydraulic Functioning and Survival of Planted Ponderosa Pine Seedlings Open
Juvenile tree survival will increasingly shape the persistence of ponderosa pine forests in the western United States. In contrast to severe pulse disturbances that induce widespread adult and juvenile tree mortality, moderate periods of l…

A low-dimensional, mechanistic water balance model for piñon pine-juniper woodlands in southern Nevada, USA Open
This is a low-dimensional water balance model developed for pinon pine-juniper woodlands in southern Nevada. It may require extensive revision for use in other similar or dissimilar woodland ecosystems. The model will require parameterizat…

The aboveground and belowground growth characteristics of juvenile conifers in the southwestern United States Open
Juvenile tree survival will play an important role in the persistence of coniferous forests and woodlands in the southwestern United States (SWUS). Vulnerability to climatic and environmental stress declines as trees grow, such that larger…

Local‐regional similarity in drylands increases during multiyear wet and dry periods and in response to extreme events Open
Climate change is predicted to impact ecosystems through altered precipitation (PPT) regimes. In the Chihuahuan Desert, multiyear wet and dry periods and extreme PPT pulses are the most influential climatic events for vegetation. Vegetatio…
