Stormwater Infrastructure Controls Runoff and Dissolved Material Export from Arid Urban Watersheds (2014)
Journal Article
Hale, R., Turnbull, L., Earl, S., Childers, D., & Grimm, N. (2015). Stormwater Infrastructure Controls Runoff and Dissolved Material Export from Arid Urban Watersheds. Ecosystems, 18(1), 62-75. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10021-014-9812-2

Urbanization alters watershed ecosystem functioning, including nutrient budgets and processes of nutrient retention. It is unknown, however, how variation in stormwater infrastructure design affects the delivery of water and materials from urban wate...

Sediment connectivity: a framework for understanding sediment transfer at multiple scales (2014)
Journal Article
Bracken, L., Turnbull, L., Wainwright, J., & Bogaart, P. (2015). Sediment connectivity: a framework for understanding sediment transfer at multiple scales. Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, 40(2), 177-188. https://doi.org/10.1002/esp.3635

A major challenge for geomorphologists is to scale up small-magnitude processes to produce landscape form, yet existing approaches have been found to be severely limited. New ways to scale erosion and transfer of sediment are thus needed. This paper... Read More about Sediment connectivity: a framework for understanding sediment transfer at multiple scales.

Sources and transport of nitrogen in arid urban watersheds (2014)
Journal Article
Hale, R., Turnbull, L., Earl, S., Grimm, N., Riha, K., Michalski, G., …Childers, D. (2014). Sources and transport of nitrogen in arid urban watersheds. Environmental Science and Technology, 48(11), 6211-6219. https://doi.org/10.1021/es501039t

Urban watersheds are often sources of nitrogen (N) to downstream systems, contributing to poor water quality. However, it is unknown which components (e.g., land cover and stormwater infrastructure type) of urban watersheds contribute to N export and...

Biotic mechanisms of community stability shift along a precipitation gradient (2014)
Journal Article
Hallett, L., Hsu, J., Cleland, E., Collins, S., Dickson, T., Farrer, E., …Suding, K. (2014). Biotic mechanisms of community stability shift along a precipitation gradient. Ecology, 95(6), 1693-1700. https://doi.org/10.1890/13-0895.1

Understanding how biotic mechanisms confer stability in variable environments is a fundamental quest in ecology, and one that is becoming increasingly urgent with global change. Several mechanisms, notably a portfolio effect associated with species r... Read More about Biotic mechanisms of community stability shift along a precipitation gradient.
