Very happy to share that my research team's most recent paper is now available #OpenAccess at @geosociety!
In short, we found that #beaver dammed river corridors in the Rocky Mountains are incredibly fire resistant, even during megafires.

Congrats to @deni_trogen on her WRR paper looking at wet deposition-stream N synchrony over 17 years of data in the Lamprey River. Spoiler: wet deposition magnifies assimilation and mineralization in the watershed but is not a main driver of river N. doi.org/10.1029/2023WR034794
