Impact of pesticide use on wild bee distributions across the United States

Bees provide important pollination ecosystem services in agricultural landscapes, but the extent to which they are affected by pesticide use on a continental scale has yet to be explored. This study evaluates the impact of pesticide use on wild bee populations across the contiguous United States.

Tidewater cycle drives alpine glacial sediment plume geochemistry

Glaciers grind rock into nutrient-rich sediments that fertilize fjords. A study of tidewater glaciers in Alaska found that retreat reduces iron and manganese availability, altering coastal ecosystems and recording glacier change over time.

The potential for albedo-induced climate mitigation using no-till management in midwestern U.S. croplands

No-till management showed significant albedo driven climate mitigation potential with an estimated capacity of around 24 Tg carbon dioxide-equivalent per year across the U.S. corn belt, according to an analysis of conservation survey records, tillage data, and remotely sensed albedo estimates

Warming in the US Midwest is believed to increase the water needed to grow crops. This study finds that, on the contrary, due to rising rainfall and minimum temperature, and decreasing maximum temperature, potential crop water demand remains unchanged despite the warming climate.

Conversion of natural ecosystems to cropland is a threat to most native wildlife. Here the authors quantify the impact of recent cropland expansion on the habitat of representative pollinator, bird, plant species across the conterminous United States, showing diminished crop yield returns at the cost of important habitat losses.

Northern expansion is often seen as a solution to climate-driven agricultural challenges in lower latitudes, yet little is known about cultivation–permafrost interactions. We outline four science-based adaptations, informed by farmer knowledge, that reduce risk and inform decisions to sustainably manage and develop permafrost-agroecosystems.
