Abstract Concentration‐discharge ( C ‐ Q ) relationships are frequently used to understand the controls on material export from watersheds. These analyses often use a log‐log power‐law function = aQ b determine relationship between and . Use of in dates two seminal papers by Francis Hall (1970, https://doi.org/10.1029/WR006i003p00845 (1971, https://doi.org/10.1029/WR007i003p00591 ), where he compared six increasingly complex hydrological models, concluding had greatest explanatory power....
Sexual and gender minorities face considerable inequities in society, including science. In biology, course content provides opportunities to challenge harmful preconceptions about what is "natural" while avoiding the notion that anything found nature inherently good (the appeal-to-nature fallacy). We provide six principles for instructors teach sex- gender-related topics postsecondary biology a more inclusive accurate manner: highlighting biological diversity early, presenting social...
Abstract Wildfires have increased in size, frequency, and intensity arid regions of the western United States because human activity, changing land use, rising temperature. Fire can degrade water quality, reshape aquatic habitat, increase risk high discharge erosion. Drawing from patterns montane dry forest, chaparral, desert ecosystems, we developed a conceptual framework describing how interactions feedbacks among material accumulation, combustion fuels, hydrologic transport influence...
Water planning and governance strategies must adapt to challenges associated with population growth, climate change, projected water shortages. In the Western United States, agriculture is dominant use, agricultural users are being asked conserve or share their other uses. Managing scarce supplies at local level often involves creative solutions, many of which not well documented, especially in sector. It therefore critical understand ideas manage resources from perspective those who work...
Discussions about diversity, equity, and inclusivity are becoming increasingly common in scientific societies. However, more concerted efforts needed to recognize challenge systemic discrimination ensure scientists from marginalized groups can contribute benefit Here, we evaluate opportunities within the Society for Freshwater Science (SFS) as examples how societies make progress toward inclusivity. In 2017, SFS collected anonymous demographic information open-ended feedback members through...
Denitrification, the microbial conversion of NO3- to N gases, is an important process contributing whether lotic and riparian ecosystems act as sinks for excess from agricultural activities. Though waterways zones have been a focus denitrification research decades, almost none this has occurred in irrigated settings arid semiarid climates. In study, we conducted broad survey potential soils channel sediments 79 waterway reaches landscape California's Central Valley. With approach, sought...
Abstract Increased occurrence, size, and intensity of fire result in significant but variable changes to hydrology material retention watersheds with concomitant effects on stream biogeochemistry. In arid regions, seasonal episodic precipitation results intermittency flows connecting recipient streams that can delay the chemistry. We investigated how spatial extent within interacts variability amount timing influence chemistry three forested, montane a monsoonal climate four coastal,...
Global climate models project that New Mexico's Upper Rio Grande watershed is expected to become more arid and experience greater climatic hydrological extremes in the next 50 years. The resulting transitions will have dramatic implications for downstream water users. its tributaries provide about half of population, including communities Albuquerque Santa Fe, surrounding agricultural areas. In absence formal adaptation strategies, informal governance arrangements are emerging facilitate...
To maintain recruitment and retention, biology teachers face the challenge of finding relatable role models for their students. Our ever-increasing scientific knowledge has been facilitated by people from many different backgrounds, identities, experiences. However, textbooks lectures typically present researchers as one-dimensional that live only to perform science. Highlighted scientists are also overwhelmingly members majority privileged backgrounds groups. The lesson includes...

Abstract Early engagement in undergraduate research opportunities promotes improved critical thinking and scientific reasoning, increased academic performance, enhanced retention both within STEM majors college overall, satisfaction with college. It is therefore to create pathways for early-stage students engage research. Transdisciplinary Grand Challenges programs at large public universities provide an opportunity undergraduates that directly tied their community's needs. The objective of...
Abstract Fluvial ecosystems are vital for biodiversity and human welfare but face increasing threats from flow intermittency caused by climate change other activities. To better understand drivers of intermittency, we analyzed long-term spatially explicit river drying data the Rio Grande, a regulated in North American desert southwest that was historically perennial is now persistently intermittent. We examined spatial structure influences precipitation, temperature, in-channel...
