Hydrology Paper of the Day @foresttherotten.bsky.social on a forest in the Central Siberian boreal zone of China and evapotranspiration partitioning: how environmental factors cause evaporation to be of greater magnitude than other components, and application of the uWUE method for partitioning.
In China's boreal forests, a new study reveals evaporation's dominant role in evapotranspiration, highlighting the need for better water management strategies!🌲

Hydrology music album by @loulayorke.bsky.social 👇
Overslept and heading into Day 3 vape-free with some new music to share. (😓 apparently normal for cravings to ramp up on day 3-4 I’m feeling that today arghh) Anyway, onward!

Hydrology, my debut for DiN, exploring water in all its myriad forms is now live for pre-order 🌊

Hydrology Paper of the Day @eos.org on changes in microbial diversity in the Arctic and and possibility of soils acting as a carbon sink in a warming world: microbiome shifts and biogeochemical cycles in the pan-Arctic; samples from intact permafrost sites; and the mediating role of hydrology.

Is there a “methane bomb” lying in Arctic permafrost? New research suggests the answer is complicated—warming Arctic soils might help or hurt the climate, depending on other factors like hydrology. eos.org/articles/in-...

Methanotrophs, including those that capture methane from the air, seem to outcompete methanogens in dry environments, a new study shows.

Hydrology Paper of the Day @dukesjeff.bsky.social on plant hydraulics in Earth System Models: challenges with capturing complexity and spatial variability; water stresses and transpiration in the context of drought and species-specific ecology; the challenges of scaling; and testing new models.
Just published this new paper, with a bunch of fantastic colleagues, with many suggestions for "Improving the representation of plant water stress and water use in Earth System Models." Access is free online. We have some great figures, thanks to Victor Leshyk. 🧪🌐🌳🌎

Hydrology Paper of the Day @jangeerthiddink.bsky.social on how trawling causes changes in the biogeography of benthic organisms off the coast of New Zealand: abundance of organisms modelled using a temporally dynamic approach; how bottom trawl fishing depletes corals; and the necessity for data.
Assessment of trawling impacts on 10 Vulnerable Marine Ecosystem indicator taxa (e.g. cold-water corals) across New Zealand waters show that 30 years of trawling reduced VME area by 20.8 %, with losses up to 40.7 % in some bioregions.

Hydrology Paper of the Day @h-zhang.bsky.social @ioliverasmenor.bsky.social on linking primary production to vapour pressure deficit with a minimum of temperature variability in three tropical regions of West Africa: variation of traits and correlations related to water cycles and photosynthesis.
Last publication of @h-zhang.bsky.social 's PhD thesis is finally out! This study tests optimality theory on the effect of vapour pressure deficit using tree trait data collected in West Africa
Testing ecophysiological theory using tree traits along a vapour pressure deficit (VPD) gradient shows, as predicted, that photosynthetic capacity is higher at higher VPD sites. Contrary to the predictions, potential water conductivity tends to increase with higher VPD. doi.org/10.1038/s420...

Hydrology Paper of the Day @sthlmresilience.bsky.social on politics of climate change and the need for immediate action: carbon sinks, cycles and record global warming; storms, hydroclimatic system strain, drought and biodiversity loss; groundwater depletion; and scale-dependent policy implications.
The climate negotiations must be guided by science.

This year’s “10 New Insights in Climate Science” report urges action over promises, warning that the world can no longer afford delays.

on Atlantic salmon populations in the River Namsen (Norway) and how growth is related to population dynamics and environment: a model of developmental and physiological thresholds; scale growth measurements; and probability-based models.
Do poor growth conditions at sea result in salmon returning to rivers to spawn at a younger or older age? New study shows that that rapid growth can lead to later maturation but maturation age can be influenced by shifts in growth during the marine migration link.springer.com/article/10.1... 🐟
