One paradigm in biogeochemistry is that frequent disturbance tends to deplete carbon (C) in
soil organic matter (SOM) by reducing biomass inputs and promoting losses. However …

Erosion by wind is one of the principal processes associated with land degradation in
drylands and is a significant concern to land managers and policymakers globally. In the …

Hydroclimatic changes associated with global warming over the past 50 years have been
documented widely, but physical landscape responses are poorly understood thus far …

Severe wildfire is altering the natural and the built environment and posing risks to
environmental and societal health and well-being, including cascading impacts to water …

Complete and accurate burned area map data are needed to document spatial and
temporal patterns of fires, to quantify their drivers, and to assess the impacts on human and …

We review findings from the last decade of research on the effects of disasters, concentrating
on three important themes: the differences between the recovery of places versus people …

Deadly and destructive debris flows often follow wildfire, but understanding of changes in
the hazard potential with time since fire is poor. We develop a simulation‐based framework …

Wildfire activity in the western United States (US) has been increasing, a trend that has been
correlated with changing patterns of temperature and precipitation associated with climate …

Surface-water quality can change in response to climate perturbations, such as changes in
the frequency of heavy precipitation or droughts, through direct effects, such as dilution and …

Climate change threatens biodiversity through global alteration of habitats, but efficient
conservation responses are often hindered by imprecise downscaling of impacts. Besides …
