Climate change and the widespread alteration of natural habitats are major drivers of vegetation change in drylands. In the Chihuahuan Desert, large areas of grasslands dominated by perennial grass species have transitioned over the last 150 years to...

What is suspended sediment? (2015)
Journal Article
Parsons, A., Cooper, J., & Wainwright, J. (2015). What is suspended sediment?. Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, 40(10), 1417-1420. https://doi.org/10.1002/esp.3730

Suspended sediment is conventionally regarded as that sediment transported by a fluid that it is fine enough for turbulent eddies to outweigh settling of the particles through the fluid. Early work in the fluvial field attributed suspension to turbul... Read More about What is suspended sediment?.

Introduction to special issue on connectivity in water and sediment dynamics (2015)
Journal Article
Parsons, A., Bracken, L., Poeppl, R., Wainwright, J., & Keesstra, S. (2015). Introduction to special issue on connectivity in water and sediment dynamics. Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, 40(9), 1275-1277. https://doi.org/10.1002/esp.3714

Connectivity has emerged in recent years as a significant conceptual framework within which to address the spatial and temporal variability in runoff and sediment transport. This special issue draws together several of the papers that were presented... Read More about Introduction to special issue on connectivity in water and sediment dynamics.

Connectivity in dryland landscapes: shifting concepts of spatial interactions (2015)
Journal Article
Okin, G., Moreno-de las Heras, M., Saco, P., Throop, H., Vivoni, E., Parsons, A., …Peters, D. (2015). Connectivity in dryland landscapes: shifting concepts of spatial interactions. Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, 13(1), 20-27. https://doi.org/10.1890/140163

Dryland ecosystems are often characterized by patchy vegetation and exposed soil. This structure enhances transport of soil resources and seeds through the landscape (primarily by wind and water, but also by animals), thus emphasizing the importance...

Assessing vegetation structure and ANPP dynamics in a grassland-shrubland Chihuahuan ecotone using NDVI-rainfall relationships (2015)
Journal Article
Moreno-de las Heras, M., Diaz-Sierra, R., Turnbull, L., & Wainwright, J. (2015). Assessing vegetation structure and ANPP dynamics in a grassland-shrubland Chihuahuan ecotone using NDVI-rainfall relationships. Biogeosciences discussions, 12(1), 51-92. https://doi.org/10.5194/bgd-12-51-2015

Climate change and the widespread alteration of natural habitats are major drivers of vegetation change in drylands. A classic case of vegetation change is the shrub-encroachment process that has been taking place over the last 150 years in the Chihu...
