  • Increased extreme rains intensify erosional nitrogen and phosphorus fluxes to the northern Gulf of Mexico in recent decades

    Open AccessZeli Tan, L Ruby Leung et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2021

    Soil erosion delivers enormous amounts of macro-nutrients including nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) from land to rivers, potentially sustaining water column bioavailable nutrient levels for decades. In this study, we represent erosional N and P fluxes in the Energy Exascale Earth System Model (E3SM) and apply the model to the continental United States. We estimate that during 1991–2019 soil erosion delivers 775 Gg yr −1 (1 Gg = 10 9 g) of particu…

  • A novel construct for scaling groundwater–river interactions based on machine-guided hydromorphic classification

    Open AccessZhangshuan Hou, Huiying Ren et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2021

    Hydrologic exchange between river channels and adjacent subsurface environments is a key process that influences water quality and ecosystem function in river corridors. Predictive numerical models are needed to understand responses of river corridors to environmental change and to support sustainable watershed management. We posit that systematic hydromorphic classification provides a scaling construct that facilitates extrapolation of outputs f…

  • Strong influence of convective heat transfer efficiency on the cooling benefits of green roof irrigation

    Open AccessLinying Wang, Maoyi Huang et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2021

    By enhancing evapotranspiration (ET), green roofs provide cooling benefits for the urban environment and are recognized as a promising heat mitigation strategy. The evaporative cooling effects of green roofs strongly depend on the soil moisture conditions and thus irrigation may be needed to sustain the cooling benefits. It has been shown that the magnitude of cooling benefits offered by green roof irrigation varies spatially, but its controlling…

  • Mechanistic links between underestimated CO 2 fluxes and non-closure of the surface energy balance in a semi-arid sagebrush ecosystem

    Open AccessZhongming Gao, Heping Liu et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2019

    The surface energy balance non-closure problem in eddy covariance (EC) studies has been largely attributed to the influence of large-scale turbulent eddies (hereafter large eddies) on latent and sensible heat fluxes. However, how such large eddies concurrently affect CO 2 fluxes remains less studied and mechanistic links between the energy balance non-closure and CO 2 fluxes are not well understood. Here, using turbulence data collected from an E…

  • The critical role of the routing scheme in simulating peak river discharge in global hydrological models

    Open AccessFang Zhao, Ted Veldkamp et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2017

    Global hydrological models (GHMs) have been applied to assess global flood hazards, but their capacity to capture the timing and amplitude of peak river discharge—which is crucial in flood simulations—has traditionally not been the focus of examination. Here we evaluate to what degree the choice of river routing scheme affects simulations of peak discharge and may help to provide better agreement with observations. To this end we use runoff and d…

  • Global land carbon sink response to temperature and precipitation varies with Enso phase

    Open AccessYuanyuan Fang, A M Michalak et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2017

    Climate variability associated with the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and its consequent impacts on land carbon sink interannual variability have been used as a basis for investigating carbon cycle responses to climate variability more broadly, and to inform the sensitivity of the tropical carbon budget to climate change. Past studies have presented opposing views about whether temperature or precipitation is the primary factor driving the …

  • Emergence of new hydrologic regimes of surface water resources in the conterminous United States under future warming

    Open AccessGuoyong Leng, Maoyi Huang et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2016

    Despite the importance of surface water to people and ecosystems, few studies have explored detectable changes in surface water supply in a changing climate, given its large natural variability. Here we analyze runoff projections from the Variable Infiltration Capacity hydrological model driven by 97 downscaled and bias-corrected Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 climate projections over the conterminous United States (CONUS). Our res…

  • Disentangling climatic and anthropogenic controls on global terrestrial evapotranspiration trends

    Open AccessJiafu Mao, Wenting Fu et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2015

    We examined natural and anthropogenic controls on terrestrial evapotranspiration (ET) changes from 1982 to 2010 using multiple estimates from remote sensing-based datasets and process-oriented land surface models. A significant increasing trend of ET in each hemisphere was consistently revealed by observationally-constrained data and multi-model ensembles that considered historic natural and anthropogenic drivers. The climate impacts were simulat…

  • Downscaling global land cover projections from an integrated assessment model for use in regional analyses

    Open AccessTristram O West, Yannick Le Page et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2014

    Projections of land cover change generated from integrated assessment models (IAM) and other economic-based models can be applied for analyses of environmental impacts at sub-regional and landscape scales. For those IAM and economic models that project land cover change at the continental or regional scale, these projections must be downscaled and spatially distributed prior to use in climate or ecosystem models. Downscaling efforts to date have …

  • Spatiotemporal patterns of evapotranspiration in response to multiple environmental factors simulated by the Community Land Model

    Open AccessXiaoying Shi, Jiafu Mao et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2013

    Spatiotemporal patterns of evapotranspiration (ET) over the period from 1982 to 2008 are investigated and attributed to multiple environmental factors using the Community Land Model version 4 (CLM4). Our results show that CLM4 captures the spatial distribution and interannual variability of ET well when compared to observation-based estimates. We find that climate dominates the predicted variability in ET. Elevated atmospheric CO _2 concentration…
