Improving the Roadside Environment through Integrating Air Quality and Traffic-Related Data
Urban arterial corridors are landscapes that give rise to short and long-term exposures to transportation-related pollution. With high traffic volumes, congestion, and a wide mix of road users and land uses at...

Divergent trends in ecosystem services under different climate-management futures in a fire-prone forest landscape
While ecosystem services and climate change are often examined independently, quantitative assessments integrating these fields are needed to inform future land management decisions. Using climate-informed...

Relationships that Extend Beyond the Fence-Line: Private Landowner Attitudes and Interest in Conservation Easements
Private land conservation provides an opportunity to address problems of habitat fragmentation and biodiversity loss caused by an increase in the development and parcelization of private land. Conservation...

Network Analysis of Wildfire Transmission and Implications for Risk Governance
We characterized wildfire transmission and exposure within a matrix of large land tenures (federal, state, and private) surrounding 56 communities within a 3.3 million ha fire prone region of central Oregon US....

Assessing the Impacts of Federal Forest Planning on Wildfire Risk Mitigation in the Pacific Northwest, USA
We analyzed the impact of amenity and biodiversity protection as mandated in national forest plans on the implementation of hazardous fuel reduction treatments aimed at protecting the wildland urban interface...

Convergent Surface Water Distributions in U.S. Cities
Earth's surface is rapidly urbanizing, resulting in dramatic changes in the abundance, distribution and character of surface water features in urban landscapes. However,the scope and consequences of surface...

Forecasted Range Shifts of Arid-Land Fishes in Response to Climate Change
Climate change is poised to alter the distributional limits, center, and size of many species. Traits may influence different aspects of range shifts, with trophic generality facilitating shifts at the leading...

Small Tidal Channels Improve Foraging Opportunities for Calidris Shorebirds
Estuarine intertidal habitats are heterogeneous, therefore migratory shorebirds are expected to forage in microhabitats where they can maximize their energy intake. Identifying proximate factors that migratory...

Damage and Alteration of Mangroves Inhabited by a Marine Wood-Borer
Animals can exert a strong influence on the structure and function of foundation species such as mangroves. Because mangroves live at the interface of land and sea, both terrestrial and marine species affect...

Southern Annular Mode Drives Multicentury Wildfire Activity in Southern South America
The Southern Annular Mode (SAM) is the main driver of climate variability at mid to high latitudes in the Southern Hemisphere, affecting wildfire activity, which in turn pollutes the air and contributes to...
