Traditional harvest systems as models for advancing understanding of dynamics and resilience in socio‐ecological systems by Sara Souther, Diana Stuart, Clare Aslan

“…Resilience science, in particular, may benefit from greater appreciation of traditional harvest, wherein thresholds and bidirectional feedbacks may be more easily detected and modeled than in more diffuse socio‐ecological systems. …”

Experimental Study on Influence of Different Patterns of an Emergent Vegetation Patch on the Flow Field and Scour/Deposition Processes in the Wake Region by Oral Yagci, V. S. Özgur Kirca, Vasileios Kitsikoudis, Catherine A. M. E. Wilson, M. Furkan Celik, Caner Sertkan

“…The patch expansion process was idealized with an initially circular patch of rigid emergent stems becoming elongated due to positive and negative feedbacks. The expansion of the vegetation patch was considered to occur in three stages, in which the density of the patch from the previous stage was increased while the patch was also elongated by connecting at its downstream side with another sparser vegetation patch. …”

Evaluating the Impact of Chemical Complexity and Horizontal Resolution on Tropospheric Ozone Over the Conterminous US With a Global Variable Resolution Chemistry Model by Rebecca H. Schwantes, Forrest G. Lacey, Simone Tilmes, Louisa K. Emmons, Peter H. Lauritzen, Stacy Walters, Patrick Callaghan, Colin M. Zarzycki, Mary C. Barth, Duseong S. Jo, Julio T. Bacmeister, Richard B. Neale, Francis Vitt, Erik Kluzek, Behrooz Roozitalab, Samuel R. Hall, Kirk Ullmann, Carsten Warneke, Jeff Peischl, Ilana B. Pollack, Frank Flocke, Glenn M. Wolfe, Thomas F. Hanisco, Frank N. Keutsch, Jennifer Kaiser, Thao Paul V. Bui, Jose L. Jimenez, Pedro Campuzano‐Jost, Eric C. Apel, Rebecca S. Hornbrook, Alan J. Hills, Bin Yuan, Armin Wisthaler

“…Horizontal mesh refinement in CESM/CAM‐chem‐SE is unique and novel in that pollutants such as ozone are accurately represented at human exposure relevant scales while also directly including global feedbacks. CESM/CAM‐chem‐SE with mesh refinement down to ∼14 km over the conterminous US (CONUS) is the beginning of the Multi‐Scale Infrastructure for Chemistry and Aerosols (MUSICAv0). …”

Reduced ligninase‐cellulase ratio enhances soil carbon sequestration following afforestation of agricultural land by Shuhai Wen, Dailin Yu, Jiao Feng, Yu‐Rong Liu

“…C‐degrading extracellular enzymes produced by soil microbes regulated the decomposition and fate of sequestrated soil organic carbon (SOC), with potential divergent variations following afforestation across different ecosystem scales. However, the feedbacks of different C‐degrading enzymes and their relationships with SOC following afforestation of agricultural land remain unclear. …”

Polar Ocean Mixing by Internal Tsunamis (POLOMINTS) by Michael Meredith, Katharine Hendry, E. Povl Abrahamsen, J. Alexander Brearley, Emma Young, David Munday, Hugh Venables, Anna Hogg, Benjamin Wallis, Katrien Van Landeghem, Filipa Carvalho, Andrew Yool, Amber Annett, Alberto Naveira Garabato, Mark Inall, Katy Sheen, Andrew Fleming, Estelle Dumont, Oskar Głowacki, Carlos Moffat, Neil Fraser, Sarah Gille, Matthew Alford, Rebecca Jackson, Katherine Retallick

“…There is a pressing need to include the effects of underwater tsunamis in the computer models that are used for projecting future ocean climate and ecosystem conditions and to determine the feedbacks between climate change and the generation of more underwater tsunamis.To answer these questions, our project will deploy innovative techniques for measuring the ocean and ice in close proximity to a calving glacier, including robotic underwater vehicles and remotely-piloted aircraft, and cutting-edge deep-learning techniques applied to satellite data. …”
