  • Tree mortality provides early warning sign of ecosystem functional transition in coastal freshwater forested wetlands

    Open AccessMaricar Aguilos, Ge Sun et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2025

    Globally, coastal forested wetlands are increasingly affected by relative sea level rise. However, the mechanisms underlying coastal wetland degradation remain unclear. Using the eddy covariance approach, we evaluated the long-term (i.e. 2009–2019) net ecosystem exchange (NEE), associated hydrology, and ecosystem structural changes in a forested wetland in North Carolina, USA. We quantified tree mortality in response to changes in hydrology. The …

  • Climate change challenges efficiency of inter-basin water transfers in alleviating water stress

    Open AccessKai Duan, Peter V Caldwell et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2022

    Inter-basin water transfer (IBT) is widely used to mitigate water shortage at the cost of compromising water availability in water-exporting regions. Yet, we do not know how efficient are the IBTs in alleviating inter-regional water stress in a changing climate and water supply-demand context. From a socio-hydrological perspective, we here quantify the efficiency of more than 200 IBTs across the United States by a Stress Relief Index that measure…

  • Influence of basin characteristics on the effectiveness and downstream reach of interbasin water transfers: Displacing a problem

    Open AccessR E Emanuel, John J Buckley et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2015

    Interbasin water transfers are globally important water management strategies, yet little is known about their role in the hydrologic cycle at regional and continental scales. Specifically, there is a dearth of centralized information on transfer locations and characteristics, and few analyses place transfers into a relevant hydrological context. We assessed hydrological characteristics of interbasin transfers (IBTs) in the conterminous US using …

  • Sectoral contributions to surface water stress in the coterminous United States

    Open AccessKristen Averyt, James R Meldrum et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2013

    Here, we assess current stress in the freshwater system based on the best available data in order to understand possible risks and vulnerabilities to regional water resources and the sectors dependent on freshwater. We present watershed-scale measures of surface water supply stress for the coterminous United States (US) using the water supply stress index (WaSSI) model which considers regional trends in both water supply and demand. A snapshot of…

  • Climate Change and Forest Disturbances

    Virginia H Dale, Linda A Joyce et al.ARTICLEBioScience2001

    Studies of the effects of climate change on forests have focused on the ability of species to tolerate temperature and moisture changes and to disperse, but they have ignored the effects of disturbances caused by climate change (e.g., Ojima et al. 1991). Yet modeling studies indicate the importance of climate effects on disturbance regimes (He et al. 1999). Local, regional, and global changes in temperature and precipitation can influence the occ…
