Participants are recruited through community networks and directly through a website application (https://www.snapshot-usa.org/). The growing Snapshot dataset is useful, for example, for tracking wildlife population responses to land use, land cover, and climate changes across spatial and temporal scales. Here we present the SNAPSHOT USA 2021 dataset, the third national camera trap survey across the US. Data were collected across 109 camera trap arrays and included 1711...AuthorsHila Shamon, Roi Maor, Michael V Cove, Roland Kays, Jessie Adley, Peter D. Alexander, David N. Allen, Maximilian L.

- Climate warming poses challenges to native fish, particularly at high latitudes. We used incubation models to explore how interactions between spawning timing and daily varying water temperature affected emergence timing for five species of Pacific salmon in 33 thermally diverse streams in south-central Alaska. Interactions between spawning timing and stream thermal regime led to three different emergence timing responses: (1) “expanded” by typically 2–3 times the duration of the spawning window for summer spawning salmon at streams with a large annual water temperature range; (2) “equal”...AuthorsLuca A.

- After wood–plastic composites (WPCs) began to be used in exterior applications, early failures were noticed, which created considerable uncertainty about how resistant these materials were to environmental factors such as fungal attack. To address these concerns, we began a research program to develop a knowledge base on the fungal durability of WPCs. This report summarizes approximately 20 years of Forest Products Laboratory research on this subject. Improved evaluation protocols along with the application of new instrumental techniques were used to better understand and assess the fungal...AuthorsRebecca E. Ibach, Craig M.

- Historically, forestlands have been widely recognized to lose more water through evapotranspiration (ET) than croplands. Using remote sensing data from MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) with an 8- day temporal and 500 m spatial resolution, we compared the annual ET between croplands and forestlands in the Yazoo River Basin (YRB), a humid subtropical region in Mississippi, USA, over a 21-year period from 2001 to 2021. Based on the Mann-Kendall test, there were significant increasing trends in annual ET for the croplands (τ > 0.44, p < 0.01) but not for forestland over...AuthorsYing Ouyang, Jia Yang, Yanbo Huang, Theodor D.

- Background. Characterisation of fuel consumption provides critical insights into fire behaviour, effects, and emissions. Stand-replacing prescribed fire experiments in central Utah offered an opportunity to generate consumption estimates in coordination with other research efforts. Aims. We sought to generate fuel consumption maps using pre- and post-fire airborne laser scanning (ALS) and ground measurements and to test the spatial transferability of the ALSderived fuel models. Methods. Using random forest (RF), we empirically modelled fuel load and estimated consumption from pre- and...AuthorsT. Ryan McCarley, Andrew T. Hudak, Benjamin C.

- Patterns of climate risk, social vulnerability, and climate adaptation in the Southeast echo centuries of human history. The region consists of highly diverse communities and landscapes, including one of the most biodiverse areas in the continental United States. The Southeast’s ecosystems, stewarded for generations by Indigenous Peoples, are now in a precarious state. Centuries of political and land-use decisions have threatened the landscape and the people, with a few prospering at the expense of many. These decisions, shaped by a long history of systemic and structural racial discriminat...AuthorsJeremy Hoffman, Steve McNulty, Claudia Brown, Kathie Dello, Pamela Knox, Aranzazu Lascurain, Carl Michalonis, Gary Mitchum, Louie Rivers, Marie Schaefer, Gavin Smith, Janey Smith Camp, Kimberly WoodKeywordsSourceBook chapterYear2024
- The study assesses the impact of the Forest Law Enforcement, Governance and Trade Voluntary Partnership Agreement (FLEGT VPA) and the Lacey Act Amendment (LAA) on the export quantities of wood products from Cameroon, Ghana and the Republic of Congo using the panel gravity Poisson Pseudo Maximum Likelihood (PPML) technique. The results indicate that FLEGT VPA had a negative and significant impact on industrial roundwood export quantity from all three countries. Similarly, its effects on the export of sawnwood and woodbased panels are also negative, except for Cameroon. On the other...AuthorsGhanashyam Khanal, Daowei Zhang, Jeffrey P.

- Using statistical models relating climate to wildfire and suppression spending, we estimated federal wildfire suppression spending through the end of the 21st century. We project that area burned on national forest lands each year, on average, may close to double by mid-century. Across the ten different climate scenarios considered, expected increases in area burned range from 42% to 306%. By late century, national forest area burned would increase by 232% on average, with a range of increases from 29% to 2,488%. With these increases, median suppression real-dollar spending by the Forest...AuthorsJeffrey P. Prestemon, Erin J. Belval, Jennifer Costanza, Jeffrey T. Morisette, Karin Riley, Shannon Kay, Karen C.

- The effects of inter-basin transfers (IBTs) on watershed hydrological balances and associated ecosystem processes remain poorly understood in arid regions because of data scarcity and the complexity of ecosystem responses to water management in many parts of the world. To fill this gap, the objective of this study was to quantify the effect of IBTs on watershed hydrological regimes and the associated vegetation dynamics. We conducted a case study on the Shiyang River Basin, a typical mountain-oasis-desert inland river basin in northwestern China, using water balance and wavelet analysis...AuthorsLin Wang, Wei Wei, Ge Sun, Bojie Fu, Liding Chen, Xiaoming Feng, Philippe Ciais, Bhaskar Mitra, Lixin WangKeywordsSourceJournal of HydrologyYear2024
