Chapter
Quantitative Methods for Studying Landscape Boundaries
The resurgence of interest in ecotones has come at a technologically opportune time. New equipment and methods that have evolved over the past decade have greatly increased our ability to quantitatively study ...

Beaver as Engineers: Influences on Biotic and Abiotic Characteristics of Drainage Basins
We review how beaver (Castor canadensis) affect ecosystem states and processes (e.g., biogeochemical cycles, nutrient retention, geomorphology, biodiversity, community dynamics, and structural complexity) by alte...

Effects of Land Cover on Stream Ecosystems: Roles of Empirical Models and Scaling Issues
We built empirical models to estimate the effects of land cover on stream ecosystems in the mid-Atlantic region (USA) and to evaluate the spatial scales over which such models are most effective. Predictive va...

Merging aquatic and terrestrial perspectives of nutrient biogeochemistry
Although biogeochemistry is an integrative discipline, terrestrial and aquatic subdisciplines have developed somewhat independently of each other. Physical and biological differences between aquatic and terres...

Denitrification triggered by nitrogen addition in Sphagnum magellanicum peat
Ombrotrophic (rain-fed) Sphagnum-mires do not significantly contribute to gaseous nitrogen (N) emissions to the atmosphere. However, increasing levels of N deposition reduce Sphagnum growth and moss cover. As a c...

Open AccessUpscaling Nitrogen Removal Capacity from Local Hotspots to Low Stream Orders’ Drainage Basins
Denitrification is the main process removing nitrate in river drainage basins and buffer input from agricultural land and limits aquatic ecosystem pollution. However, the identification of denitrification hots...

Open AccessDecline in Ecosystem δ13C and Mid-Successional Nitrogen Loss in a Two-Century Postglacial Chronosequence
Uncertainty about controls on long-term carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) balance, turnover, and isotopic composition currently limits our ability to predict ecosystem response to disturbance and landscape change. ...

Long-term ecological observatories needed to understand ecohydrological systems in the Anthropocene: a catchment-scale case study in Brittany, France
Over the last half century, humans have become the dominant force driving many of Earth’s cycles. Intensive agriculture has simultaneously increased nutrient loading of pastoral landscapes and decreased the ca...

Human domination of the global water cycle absent from depictions and perceptions
Human water use, climate change and land conversion have created a water crisis for billions of individuals and many ecosystems worldwide. Global water stocks and fluxes are estimated empirically and with comp...
