Modeling carbon dynamics from a heterogeneous watershed in the mid-Atlantic USA: A distributed-calibration and independent verification (DCIV) approach.

The terrestrial ecosystem plays a vital role in regulating regional and global carbon budgets. Ecosystem models are extensively employed to estimate carbon fluxes across different spatial scales. However, there remains a need to reduce the uncertainties associated with model parameterization and input data.

Crop production and water quality under 1.5 °C and 2 °C warming: Plant responses and management options in the mid-Atlantic region.

The 2015 "Paris Agreement" aims to limit the global average temperature rise to significantly less than 2 °C, preferably within 1.5 °C above pre-industrial levels. A multitude of studies have focused on evaluating how different sectors respond to such levels of warming.

Quantifying the potential impacts of climate change on irrigation demand, crop yields, and green water scarcity in the New Jersey Coastal Plain.

Climate change has significant implications for irrigated agriculture and global food security. Understanding how altered precipitation patterns and magnitudes, coupled with rising growing season temperatures, affect irrigation demand and crop production is a prerequisite for formulating effective water resources management strategies. This study evaluated the effects of near-term climate change (centered on 2035) on irrigation demand, green water scarcity, and row crop yields in a major agricultural watershed in southern New Jersey, USA.
