Investigating the Use of Fallout Radionuclides Beryllium-7 and Excess Lead-210 as Short-Term Stream Sediment Chronometers in the Agricultural Upper Midwest, USA
… a concern for surface water quality in the Upper Midwest even with best management practices in place to prevent field erosion. Legacy stores of previously eroded field sediment may build up in streams over time and lead to persistent water quality degradation. It is thus important to understand …

Simulating the Impacts of Land-Use Land-Cover Changes on Cropland Carbon Fluxes in the Midwest of the United States
… change impacts on cropland carbon fluxes in the Midwest USA. First we evaluated the impacts of LULC change on cropland net primary production (NPP) estimates. We found out the high spatial variability of cropland NPP across the study region was strongly related to the changes in crop species. …
