A new geodatabase of fuel treatments across federal lands in the USA Open
Catastrophic wildfires threaten landscapes across the United States, and fuel treatments are key to mitigating this risk. Yet, information regarding when, where, and what types of treatments have occurred is scattered across multiple syste…

Temperature dependence of leaf breakdown in streams differs between organismal groups and leaf species Open
Increased temperatures are altering rates of organic matter (OM) breakdown in stream ecosystems with implications for carbon (C) cycling in the face of global change. The metabolic theory of ecology (MTE) provides a framework for predictin…

Leaf litter breakdown phenology in headwater stream networks is modulated by groundwater thermal regimes and litter type Open
Leaf litter dominates particulate organic carbon inputs to forest streams. Using data‐informed simulations, we explored how litter type (slow‐ vs. fast‐decomposing species), pulsed autumn litter inputs, groundwater‐mediated temperature reg…

A database of vegetation treatments in New Mexico, USA and surrounding regions Open
Active management practices to reduce or promote particular vegetation, known as vegetation treatments, are a common part of environmental management and they are conducted for a variety of purposes including wildfire risk mitigation, inva…

Nonpoint source pollution measures in the Clean Water Act have no detectable impact on decadal trends in nutrient concentrations in U.S. inland waters Open
The Clean Water Act (CWA) of 1972 regulates water quality in U.S. inland waters under a system of cooperative federalism in which states are delegated implementation and enforcement authority of CWA provisions by the U.S. Environmental Pro…

Contrasting activation energies of litter-associated respiration and P uptake drive lower cumulative P uptake at higher temperatures Open
Heterotrophic microbes play key roles in regulating fluxes of energy and nutrients, which are increasingly affected by globally changing environmental conditions such as warming and nutrient enrichment. While the effects of temperature and…

Differences in respiration rates and abrasion losses may muddle attribution of breakdown to macroinvertebrates versus microbes in litterbag experiments Open
Leaf breakdown is an important process in forested headwater streams. A common method used to quantify the role of macroinvertebrate and microbial communities in leaf litter breakdown involves using paired mesh bags that either allow or ex…

Thermal traits of freshwater macroinvertebrates vary with feeding group and phylogeny Open
Functional traits of organisms, especially feeding traits, influence how organisms mediate ecosystem processes. As climate change, landscape modification and industrial waste heat release continue to increase water temperatures, shifts in …

Ignoring temperature variation leads to underestimation of the temperature sensitivity of plant litter decomposition Open
The majority of terrestrial net primary production decomposes, fueling detrital food webs and converting dead plant carbon to atmospheric CO 2 . There is considerable interest in determining the sensitivity of this process to climate warmi…

Understanding variation in salamander ionomes: A nutrient balance approach Open
Ecological stoichiometry uses information on a few key biological elements (C, N and P) to explain complex ecological patterns. Although factors driving variation in these elements are well established, expanding stoichiometric principles …

Trophic Strategies Influence Metal Bioaccumulation in Detritus-Based, Aquatic Food Webs Open
Metal accumulation in aquatic food webs is mediated by physiochemical parameters of the environment and organismal traits. Trophic strategies influence an organisms' exposure to metal pollution, but links between trophic ecology and exposu…
