While climate and housing growth are commonly linked to rising fire activity, the role of specific ignition sources—particularly human-caused—remains understudied. Analyzing a 79-year dataset (1940–2019) from U.S. Forest Service regions across the continental United States, we found that different ignition sources in different regions have been a major driver of wildfire trends, accounting for 60%–80% of the interannual variation in fire frequency and approximately 20% in area burned across most U.S. regions. Lightning and campfires were the dominant sources in western regions, while arson drove fire activity east of the Mississippi River. Trends also varied significantly by region and over time, with housing growth explaining more in terms of fire frequency and climate primarily influencing area burned. Importantly, frequent fires often originated from different sources than those causing the largest areas burned. Prevention of human-caused ignitions, such as campfires and arson, could offer efficient and effective strategies to mitigate wildfire impacts on human and natural systems under changing climate and land-use conditions.

When methods are described as ‘causal’, emphasis is increasingly placed on statistical techniques for isolating associations so as to quantify causal effects. In contrast, natural scientists have historically approached the pursuit of causal knowledge through the investigation of mechanisms that interconnect the components of systems. In this paper, we first summarise a recently published multievidence paradigm for causal studies meant to reconcile conflicting viewpoints. We then describe some of the basic principles of causal statistics and the challenge of estimating pure causal effects. We follow that by describing basic principles related to causal mechanistic investigations, which focus on characterising the structures and processes conveying causal effects. While causal statistics focuses on estimating effect sizes, mechanistic investigations focus on characterising the attributes of the underlying structures and processes linking causative agents to responses. There are important differences between how one approaches each endeavour, as well as differences in what is obtained from each type of investigation. Finally, the case is made that an explicit assessment of existing mechanistic knowledge should be an initial step in causal investigations.","language":"English","publisher":"Wiley","doi":"10.1111/ele.70029","usgsCitation":"Grace, J., Huntington-Klein, N., Schweiger, E.W., Martinez, M., Osland, M., Feher, L., Guntenspergen, G.R., and Thorne, K., 2025, Causal effects verses causal mechanisms: Two traditions with different requirements and contributions towards causal understanding: Ecology Letters, v. 28, no. 4, e70029, 14 p., https://doi.org/10.1111/ele.70029.","productDescription":"e70029, 14 p.","ipdsId":"IP-153333","costCenters":[{"id":17705,"text":"Wetland and Aquatic Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":487928,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/12013535","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":485332,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Florida, Louisiana, Texas","geographicExtents":"{\n \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n \"features\": [\n {\n \"type\": \"Feature\",\n \"properties\": {},\n \"geometry\": {\n \"coordinates\": [\n [\n [\n -97.06594911045349,\n 29.20437713915578\n ],\n [\n -97.06594911045349,\n 25.202385791747105\n ],\n [\n -79.97263029331532,\n 25.202385791747105\n ],\n [\n -79.97263029331532,\n 29.20437713915578\n ],\n [\n -97.06594911045349,\n 29.20437713915578\n ]\n ]\n ],\n \"type\": \"Polygon\"\n }\n }\n ]\n}","volume":"28","issue":"4","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2025-04-22","publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Grace, James 0000-0001-6374-4726","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-6374-4726","contributorId":206247,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Grace","given":"James","affiliations":[{"id":17705,"text":"Wetland and Aquatic Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":935453,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Huntington-Klein, Nick 0000-0002-7352-3991","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7352-3991","contributorId":354349,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Huntington-Klein","given":"Nick","affiliations":[{"id":84580,"text":"Seattle University","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":935454,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Schweiger, E.

Considerations for closed-loop geothermal bore installation include the thickness and character of glacial deposits, bedrock solubility and depth to competent rock, karst development, the distribution of highly permeable zones and their hydraulic heads, and the presence of saline water, gas, and oil. The hydrogeology of the Erie-Ontario Lowlands and Allegheny Plateau poses challenges to closed-loop geothermal bore drilling and casing; managing drill cuttings, discharge water, and gas; and grouting. The potential to encounter severe challenges typically increases with bore depth. This report highlights hydrogeologic considerations for closed-loop geothermal bore installation in New York’s Erie-Ontario Lowlands and Allegheny Plateau to help guide the efficient and safe development of geothermal resources in the regions.

To understand the relations between precipitation and groundwater in the vicinity of Lake Nokomis, the U.S. Geological Survey, in collaboration with the University of Minnesota, quantified five components of the groundwater budget: groundwater recharge, change in surficial aquifer storage, surficial aquifer groundwater discharge to Lake Nokomis, groundwater evapotranspiration, and groundwater discharge to underlying bedrock aquifers. Field data, geologic records, and empirical calculation methods were used to quantify groundwater budget components for April 2023 through April 2024. Lake water budget data indicate that Lake Nokomis is a flowthrough system during periods with no outflow through the weir, with groundwater inputs equal to outputs. Roughly 40 percent of precipitation that fell in the study area was added to the surficial aquifer as recharge. Uncertainty in the vertical hydraulic conductivity resulted in wide-ranging estimates (spanning three orders of magnitude) of water discharging from the surficial aquifer to the underlying bedrock aquifer. Drought conditions persisted for the duration of this study and were not representative of the conditions that motivated this study. This study is a start towards understanding relations between precipitation, Lake Nokomis levels, and groundwater levels that could affect local underground infrastructure.

Barka Slough is a historically perennial wetland at the downstream western end of the San Antonio Creek Valley watershed (SACVW). A previously published hydrologic model of the SACVW for 1948–2018 was extended to include 2019–2021 and then modified to simulate the future years of 2022–2051. Two models simulating the future years of 2022–2051 were constructed, each with different climate inputs: (1) a repeated historical climate and (2) a 2070-centered Drier Extreme Warming climate (2070 DEW). The model with the 2070 DEW climate had warmer temperatures and an increase in average annual precipitation driven by larger, albeit more infrequent, precipitation events than the model with the historical climate. Simulated groundwater pumpage resulted in cumulative groundwater storage depletion and groundwater-level decline in Barka Slough in both future models. The simulations indicate that Barka Slough may transition from a perennial to an ephemeral wetland. Streamflow, stream disconnection, and depth to groundwater are key habitat metrics for federally listed species in Barka Slough. Future seasonal conditions for each metric are more likely to affect federally listed species’ habitats under 2070 DEW climatic conditions. Future seasonal streamflow volume may negatively impact unarmored threespine stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus williamsoni) and tidewater goby (Eucyclogobis newberryi) habitats. Future seasonal stream disconnection may negatively impact the unarmored threespine stickleback habitat. Future groundwater-level decline may negatively impact Gambel’s watercress (Nasturtium gambelii) and La Graciosa thistle (Cirsium scariosum var. loncholepis) habitats and could influence the ability to use Barka Slough as a restoration or reintroduction site for these species. Results from this study can be used to inform water management decisions to sustain future groundwater availability in the SACVW.

Migrating ungulates, in particular, track waves of newly emerging plants from low-elevation winter ranges to high-elevation summer ranges—known as “green-wave surfing.” Because plants lose crude protein and gain insoluble fiber with maturation, ruminants are expected to exploit peaks in forage quality among individual plants (i.e., Forage Maturation Hypothesis). Although ample evidence supports the long-standing hypothesis that migratory ungulates surf peaks in forage quality during migration, the hypothesis that ungulates track peaks in forage quality at a small scale (i.e., microsurf while on summer range) remains less known. We studied a partially migratory population of mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) in Wyoming, USA, to understand whether temperate ungulates optimize the use of high-quality forage as plants grow and senesce on disparate summer ranges. Specifically, we evaluated how crude protein, digestible energy, and relative abundance changed throughout the growing season and whether deer altered their diet to reflect species-specific changes in plant phenology. In support of the Forage Maturation Hypothesis, forage quality declined as large-scale patterns of phenology progressed away from a remotely sensed metric of peak green-up for most plant species on the summer ranges of deer that migrated short (<50 km), medium (50–130 km), and long distances (>130 km). Declining rates in forage quality among plant species were heterogeneous, providing deer with the phenological diversity required to microsurf. Deer changed their diet throughout the growing season and prioritized the consumption of some plants, including Rosa woodsii and Purshia tridentata, as the rank of forage quality increased (p < 0.01). In light of the complexities common to studies on foraging behavior, our findings suggest that deer may have some potential to microsurf on summer range when heterogeneity in resource phenology is prevalent. Moreover, our findings validate the accuracy of remote sensing in quantifying peak forage quality for plants within sagebrush shrublands and montane habitats.

Perceived threats of solar to agriculture have led some stakeholders to suggest that croplands be exclusively used to produce food. However, 12 million hectares of U.S. croplands, an area about the size of New York State, are already dedicated to corn grown for ethanol (i.e., biofuel), an energy product that requires significantly more land than solar PV per unit energy. Ecosystem service benefits of an ecologically-informed approach to solar development (i.e., ecovoltaics), coupled with significant land-use advantages over corn ethanol, make solar an attractive solution for a sustainable energy transition in croplands. Here, we evaluated how the conversion of a small fraction of corn-ethanol croplands into ecovoltaic solar facilities might improve land-use efficiency of energy generation, enhance ecosystem services, and provide landscape diversification. Through spatial analyses, we determined that converting just 3.2% of land currently used for corn ethanol would increase the share of utility-scale solar energy in the U.S. from 3.9% to 13%. We also identified target locations where strategic conversion of corn ethanol to solar PV co-located with perennial vegetation could filter excess nutrients transported from adjacent farm runoff, diversify and connect agricultural landscapes, and provide local wildlife habitat. In contrast to the common perception of land-use competition and land scarcity in the energy transition, our findings highlight benefits of co-located energy landscapes that integrate fundamental principles of energy development and sustainable agroecosystems.","language":"English","publisher":"National Academy of Sciences","doi":"10.1073/pnas.2501605122","usgsCitation":"Sturchio, M.A.,

Two samples from the Fantangisña mud volcano are interpreted to be clay-rich fault gouges derived from the subduction channel. Their bulk compositions are intermediate between the serpentinites and oceanic basalts. The oceanic crustal materials in the gouges have been thoroughly metasomatized and the serpentinites extensively altered to the trioctahedral, Mg-rich smectite clays saponite and corrensite. The only relict phases in clasts of crustal rock are accessory Ti- and P-bearing minerals. The two fault gouge samples have lower frictional strengths (μ < 0.2) than the serpentinites (μ = 0.2–0.4), and their measured permeabilities are also somewhat lower. Their physical and compositional properties correspond to saponitic gouges from other faults that juxtapose serpentinite against crustal rocks, in particular gouges from the two creeping traces of the San Andreas Fault recovered in the core from the San Andreas Fault Observatory at Depth. The décollement beneath Fantangisña mud volcano is thus expected to be very weak and likely characterized by stable slip.

Host selectivity may be species specific, and identification of host fish is a critical step in conservation planning for individual mussel species. The Flint River harbors ~23% of the freshwater mussel (order Unionida) diversity in the state of Georgia, USA. Nine species in the basin are state or federally listed, and local diversity is threatened by shifting hydrologic conditions, increasing habitat loss, and sedimentation. However, knowledge on host species is lacking for nearly 40% of mussel species in the Flint River, limiting the efforts of conservation managers. In this study, we assessed the use of host fish by mussels by identifying the species of naturally encysted mussel larvae and transformed juveniles found on wild-caught fishes. Infested fishes were collected in the summers of 2021 and 2022 and held in laboratory conditions. Glochidia and juvenile mussels were collected as they excised from live hosts and were identified by DNA barcoding with the cytochrome oxidase c subunit I locus. Twenty-eight unique mussel–host relationships were identified, 27 of which were considered novel when cross-referenced to the existing mussel–host databases and peer-reviewed literature. Our data build upon knowledge of host use in unionids and further demonstrate the importance of understanding patterns in wild host use.

Wild pigs (Sus scrofa) are a highly detrimental invasive species in North America, directly and indirectly affecting native species. Co-occurrence of wild pigs and native species may lead to interspecific interactions that alter ecological communities. Accordingly, we investigated spatial and temporal factors influencing detection and occupancy of Eurasian Wild Pig and Nine-banded Armadillo (Dasypus novemcinctus) before examining interspecific effects. We analyzed camera-trap data collected from August to September 2021 using a hierarchical modeling framework to estimate detection and occupancy of both species individually (single-species analyses) and concurrently (conditional co-occurrence analyses). We observed higher Wild Pig detection rates and space use in late summer and in areas with greater riparian cover, respectively. Armadillo detection increased linearly throughout our sampling season and in response to precipitation. Moreover, armadillo detection was 3.5 to 5.1× higher at sites used by wild pigs, regardless of whether wild pigs were detected during a survey period. Occupancy of armadillo was best explained by a quadratic trend in site elevation but did not depend on the presence of wild pigs. Our results indicate that wild pigs may influence armadillo detection (or site-use intensity), but not occupancy, therefore revealing nuanced interspecific interactions. Between species, we observed high overlap in diel activity but significantly different activity peaks, with armadillos being strictly nocturnal and wild pigs being crepuscular but with more cathemeral activity, suggesting that fine-scale temporal partitioning may have occurred. Our results provide insights into the influence of a large-bodied and destructive invasive species (Wild Pig) on a smaller, ecologically important native species (Nine-banded Armadillo).

Hawaiian coastal wetlands provide important habitat for endangered waterbirds, invertebrates, plants, and the Hawaiian hoary bat (ʻōpeʻapeʻa; Lasiurus semotus) as well as support Indigenous food systems. Currently, numerous agencies and groups in Hawaiʻi collect data on coastal wetlands, but information is not typically shared and methods are not standardized. A statewide, standardized, coastal wetland monitoring program with a centralized database would allow managers to keep better track of progress toward restoration goals, population changes of conservation-reliant species, outbreaks and impacts of avian botulism, rates of coastal salinization, and many other critical issues across space and time. Monitoring combined with targeted research could fill critical knowledge gaps about the types, functions, values, and biodiversity of Hawaiian coastal wetlands. Ultimately, the improved knowledge gained from long-term coastal wetland monitoring could inform landscape-scale restoration actions and adaptive management of coastal wetlands under sea-level rise and climate change.

In 2015, ACFs were detected in Washington State, U.S. for the first time, and the species is now documented at three cities across western Washington: Lacey, Bothell, and Issaquah. We cataloged the known ACF occurrences, early management efforts, biological data about the frogs, and status of these invasive populations at the three sites from 2015–2023. The ACFs appear to be established in at least three watersheds in the Puget Sound region despite substantial effort at eradicating them at one site. Presence of ACFs in watersheds that lack surface connectivity implies independent introduction events, and the capture of frogs in multiple subbasins in the same watershed may reflect the potential for further spread. Because the ACF is nocturnal and otherwise behaviorally and visually highly cryptic, other established populations may go undetected. Where the ACFs are largely confined to stormwater ponds — as many of our current observations suggest — eradication may still be possible, though a substantial, focused effort would be required. In addition, significant refinement of eradication approaches will be needed to ensure effectiveness in topographically and vegetatively complex Pacific Northwest aquatic environments.

Time-lapse photography can be particularly useful for studying snakes that often fail to trigger a camera's infrared motion sensor due to their ectothermic nature. However, the large datasets produced by time-lapse photography require labor-intensive classification, limiting their use in large-scale studies. While many artificial intelligence-based object detection models are effective at identifying mammals in images, their ability to detect snakes is unproven. Here, we used camera data to evaluate the efficacy of an object detection model to rapidly and accurately detect snakes. We classified images manually to the species level and compared this with a hybrid review workflow where the model removed blank images followed by a manual review. Using a ≥0.05 model confidence threshold, our hybrid review workflow correctly identified 94.5% of blank images, completed image classification 6× faster, and detected large (>66 cm) snakes as well as manual review. Conversely, the hybrid review method often failed to detect all instances of a snake in a string of images and detected fewer small (<66 cm) snakes than manual review. However, most relevant ecological information requires only a single detection in a sequence of images, and study design changes could likely improve the detection of smaller snakes. Our findings suggest that an object detection-assisted hybrid workflow can greatly reduce time spent manually classifying data-heavy time-lapse snake studies and facilitate ecological monitoring for large snakes.

Validating the accuracy of surface products remains a difficult task since it involves assessment across a range of atmospheric profiles, as well as many different land surface types. Thus, standard approaches from the satellite calibration community do not apply and new technologies need to be developed. The Big Multi-Agency Campaign (BigMAC) was developed to assess current technologies that might be used for validation of surface products derived from satellite imagery, with emphasis on Landsat. Conducted in August, 2021, in Brookings, SD, USA, a variety of measurement technologies were fielded and assessed for accuracy, precision, and deployability. Each technology exhibited its strengths and weaknesses. Handheld spectroradiometers are capable of surface reflectance measurements with accuracies in the 0.01 - 0.02 absolute reflectance units, but are expensive to deploy. Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS)-based radiometers have the potential of making measurements with similar accuracy, but are also difficult to deploy. Mirror-based empirical line methods showed improving accuracy potential, but deployment also remains an issue. However, there are inexpensive radiometers designed for long-term autonomous use that exhibited good accuracy and precision, as well as being easy to deploy. Thermal measurement technologies showed accuracy potential in the 1 - 2K range, and some easily deployable instruments are available. Results from BigMAC indicate there are technologies available today to begin making operational surface reflectance/temperature measurements and strong potential for improvements in the future.","language":"English","publisher":"MDPI","doi":"10.3390/s25082586","usgsCitation":"Helder, D., Shrestha, M., Mann, J.J., Maddox, E., Irwin, J., Leigh, L., Gerace, A., Eon, R., Falcon, L.,

The nature, scale and dynamics of the LPIA are characterized by periods of intense glaciation, which are often interrupted by short-lived (1–2 Myrs) intervals associated with ice-free or distal from ice conditions. In this study, we focus on constraining the icehouse-greenhouse turnover across southcentral Gondwana (SCG) reporting new high-resolution U![\"single](\"https://sdfestaticassets-us-east-1.sciencedirectassets.com/shared-assets/55/entities/sbnd.gif\")
Pb zircon CA-ID-TIMS ages from immediate postglacial facies in the Kalahari and Karoo basins. We integrate these ages with published UPb zircon CA-ID-TIMS ages (n = 20) to build a stratigraphic framework for SCG, to investigate the duration and nature of the demise of the LPIA. We confirm the stepwise deglaciation of Gondwana over a ca. 20 Myr period, with deglaciation occurring first in the Paraná Basin at ca. 300 Ma and in the Karoo Basin by 282 Ma. Low-latitude marine carbonates deposited contemporaneously with the final demise of ice is characterized by a major shift towards isotopically depleted δ13C and δ18O values. We interpret the perturbations in stable isotopes records to be driven by either mantle outgassing or the release of methane and the addition of glacial melt water to the paleo-ocean during warming. The presented stratigraphic framework is built in intracratonic basins, far from any syn- tectonic affects, suggesting a largely climatic driver behind deglaciation events.

We investigated nine-banded armadillos (Dasypus novemcinctus) in southwestern Oklahoma (USA) to evaluate if a species with physical defenses was influenced by a dominant predator, the coyote (Canis latrans). We sampled nine-banded armadillos and coyotes with motion-activated cameras. We used single-species and conditional two-species occupancy models to assess the influences of environmental factors and coyotes on nine-banded armadillo occurrence and site-use intensity (i.e., detection). We used camera-based detections to characterize the diel activity of each species and their overlap. Nine-banded armadillo occupancy was greater at sites closer to cover, with lower slopes, and further from water, whereas coyote space use was greater at higher elevations; both species were positively associated with recent burns. Nine-banded armadillo occurrence was not influenced by coyotes, but site-use intensity was suppressed by the presence of coyotes. Nine-banded armadillos (strictly nocturnal) and coyotes (predominantly nocturnal) had a high overlap in summer diel activity. Nine-banded armadillos are ecosystem engineers but are often considered a threat to species of concern and/or a nuisance. Thus, understanding the role of interspecific interactions on nine-banded armadillos has important implications for conservation and management.

While several ongoing efforts are aimed at improving microbiome data management, significant gaps still remain in terms of defining and promoting adoption of consensus standards for these datasets. The Strengthening the Organization and Reporting of Microbiome Studies (STORMS) guidelines for human microbiome research have been endorsed and successfully utilized by many research organizations, publishers, and funding agencies, and have been recognized as a consensus community standard. No equivalent effort has occurred for environmental, synthetic, and non-human host-associated microbiomes. To address this growing need within the microbiome research community, we convened the Microbiome Data Management in Action Workshop (June 12–13, 2024, in Atlanta, GA, USA), to bring together key decision makers in microbiome science including researchers, publishers, funders, and data repositories. The 50 attendees, representing the diverse and interdisciplinary nature of microbiome research, discussed recent progress and challenges, and brainstormed actionable recommendations and paths forward for coordinated environmental microbiome data management and the modifications necessary for the STORMS guidelines to be applied to environmental, non-human host, and synthetic microbiomes. The outcomes of this workshop will form the basis of a formalized data management roadmap to be implemented across the field. These best practices will drive scientific innovation now and in years to come as these data continue to be used not only in targeted reanalyses but in large-scale models and machine learning efforts.

Immobilizing or anesthetizing fish is important for promoting fish welfare in numerous routine activities that involve handling. Electroanesthesia, an alternative to traditional chemical anesthetics, uses weak electrical current to immobilize fish while current is applied, resulting in near-immediate induction and recovery. The physiological effects of electroanesthesia appear to be minimal or comparable to those of chemical anesthetics, but knowledge gaps exist on cardiac responses during treatment and behavioral responses in a controlled setting.
Methods
Lake Trout Salvelinus namaycush were immobilized by one of four treatments: control (physical restraint); eugenol (AQUI-S 20E); and continuously applied, low-voltage electroanesthesia with either constant DC or transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS). We evaluated the heart rate while fish were immobilized, reflexes at 1 h posttreatment, and survival and movements in a laboratory setting over a 6-d posttreatment period.
Results
The heart rates of fish immobilized with either electroanesthesia treatment (constant DC: mean ± SE = 12.6 ± 1.1 beats/min; TENS: 13.1 ± 1.2 beats/min) were not significantly different from those of control fish (10.0 ± 1.2 beats/min) while immobilized. However, fish immobilized with eugenol exhibited heart rates that were more than three times higher (32.1 ± 1.2 beats/min) than those of control fish while immobilized. Treatments had no effect on reflex scores at 1 h posttreatment, the 6-d survival rate of fish (100%), or movement behavior during the hours (1–24 h) or days (6 d) after treatment.
Conclusions
This study adds to a growing body of research finding a lack of negative physiological or behavioral responses resulting from continuously applied electroanesthesia, suggesting that it is at least as safe as many chemical anesthetics in this respect. The significant cardiac response of Lake Trout while immobilized with eugenol warrants further investigation. While the body of research on immobilizing agents in fish grows, species-specific data remain sparse, and users would benefit from pilot testing before wider application.
Climate-driven forest mortality events have been extensively observed in recent decades, prompting the question of how quickly these affected forests can recover their functionality following such events. Here we assessed forest recovery in vegetation greenness (normalized difference vegetation index) and canopy water content (normalized difference infrared index) for 1,699 well-documented forest mortality events across 1,600 sites worldwide. By analysing 158,427 Landsat surface reflectance images sampled from these sites, we provided a global assessment on the time required for impacted forests to return to their pre-mortality state (recovery time). Our findings reveal a consistent decline in global forest recovery rate over the past decades indicated by both greenness and canopy water content. This decline is particularly noticeable since the 1990s. Further analysis on underlying mechanisms suggests that this reduction in global forest recovery rates is primarily associated with rising temperatures and increased water scarcity, while the escalation in the severity of forest mortality contributes only partially to this reduction. Moreover, our global-scale analysis reveals that the recovery of forest canopy water content lags significantly behind that of vegetation greenness, implying that vegetation indices based solely on greenness can overestimate post-mortality recovery rates globally. Our findings underscore the increasing vulnerability of forest ecosystems to future warming and water insufficiency, accentuating the need to prioritize forest conservation and restoration as an integral component of efforts to mitigate climate change impacts.

Changes in land use and agricultural practices, such as subsurface agricultural drainage, may be contributing to changes in streamflow characteristics. Subsurface agricultural drainage, also known as tile drainage, is the practice of installing drains in the subsurface of agricultural fields to improve productivity. Because of the complex interactions between subsurface drainage systems, precipitation, local soil conditions, and land management practices, it is difficult to determine how subsurface agricultural drainage affects downstream flow. Previously developed subsurface agricultural drainage conceptual models under dry, saturated, and winter conditions are summarized, and current literature on the effects of subsurface agricultural drainage on downstream flows, focusing on peak flow, non-event flow, and total flow to develop frameworks for discussing these systems is compiled.
The effects that subsurface drainage has on hydrologic systems are expected to vary by site and are seasonally based on system design, soil type, moisture conditions, precipitation characteristics, and land conditions. Subsurface drainage can affect the magnitude of peak flow by converting surface runoff from a storm event to subsurface runoff. By increasing hydrologic connectivity of a catchment, subsurface drainage can increase non-event flow or the flow between two storm events, typically dependent on lateral flow through the subsurface and groundwater. Theoretically, by diverting water from groundwater recharge or by reducing water available for evapotranspiration, subsurface drainage may increase the total volume of flow. Precipitation changes may increase infiltration, excess overland flow, and flood risk regardless of the presence or absence of subsurface drainage.

With climate models projecting increasing temperatures, and more frequent and extreme heat events, these mussels face increasing temperature-related risks. Marsh surface and subsurface (5-cm depth) temperature was measured continuously in the summer of 2022 in south Louisiana Gulf ribbed mussel habitat at nine stations. Marsh surface maximum temperatures were 5°C higher and more variable than recorded water temperatures, exceeding 38°C for periods of up to 3 h which generally coincided with low tides and peak solar radiation. Marsh subsurface temperatures were cooler with a lower mean and maximum temperature compared with the marsh surface, but higher than adjacent water. In two laboratory experiments the acclimated and acute thermal tolerance of wild mussels collected from the saltmarsh where temperatures were recorded, were explored. G. granosissima survived more than 40 days of continuous exposure in the laboratory to mean daily temperature values recorded for the marsh and subsurface microhabitats (28°C–34°C) but their calculated median lethal time (LT50) ranged from 35 to 56 days (36°C), to less than 3 days (40°C). Mussels acclimated to temperatures similar to long-term average water temperatures (28°C–32°C) and then exposed to maximum daily temperatures acutely experienced LT50 of less than 6 days (38°C), <1 day (40°C), and of less than 5 h (42°C). For G. granosissima both their thermal tolerance and behavioral response likely contribute to their survival in the face of extreme heat events, and their resulting distribution across the marsh surface and subsurface. Overall, results indicate that ribbed mussels in coastal Louisiana may rely on their ability to migrate vertically and bury in the marsh to avoid extreme heat exposure (temperature, duration) that may be lethal. The ability of Gulf ribbed mussels to endure short-term thermal extremes may ultimately determine the mussels' use as a tool in marsh stabilization and coastal restoration.

However, observational estimates are sparse and highly uncertain along most coastal regions with a lack of observational evidence about long-term underlying trends and their contribution to overall extreme sea-level changes. Here, using a spatiotemporal Bayesian hierarchical framework, we analyse US tide gauge record for 1950–2020 and find that observational estimates have underestimated likelihoods of storm surge extremes at 85% of tide gauge sites nationwide. Additionally, and contrary to prevailing beliefs, storm surge extremes show spatially coherent trends along many widespread coastal areas, providing evidence of changing coastal storm intensity in the historical monitoring period. Several hotspots exist with regionally significant storm surge trends that are comparable to trends in mean sea-level rise and its key components. Our findings challenge traditional coastal design/planning practices that rely on estimates from discrete observations and assume stationarity in surge extremes.

We investigated smolt predation risk for an endangered Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) population in the Weldon Dam reservoir in the Penobscot River, Maine, USA. In spring 2022, we characterized the fates of 390 tethered smolts. Smolts were exclusively predated by two predator species not native to the study area: chain pickerel (Esox niger, n = 43) and smallmouth bass (Micropterus dolomieu, n = 42). Using Cox-proportional hazard analysis, we estimated that 23% (95% CI = 15%–29%) of tethered smolts were expected to be predated within a one-hour deployment. Water temperature was the primary driver of predation risk as predation probability increased from 10% to 33% when temperature increased from 5 to 15 °C. Smolts also incurred above-average predation risk when they were within 40 m of shore. We demonstrate that non-native fish predation may drive patterns of high impoundment mortality and that risk is spatially and temporally heterogeneous within these systems. Collectively, this study offers direct evidence of species-specific predation on Atlantic salmon smolts and illuminates potential strategies to mitigate predation risk during reservoir migration.
