A mesoscale model (MM5)–based regional climate model (CMM5) integration driven by the
Parallel Climate Model (PCM), a fully coupled atmosphere‐ocean‐land‐ice general …

Late-glacial (17–11 cal ka BP) pollen records from midwestern North America show similar
vegetation trends; however, poor dating resolution, wide-interval pollen counts, and variable …

Variation in use of edge habitat among populations and species of snakes should reflect
underlying causes (eg, thermal ecology, prey availability) and consequences (eg, predation …

For future climate projections to be useful they must be actionable at the local level. In this
study, we develop daily temperature and precipitation climate scenarios suitable for use in …

Climate change is expected to modify the hydrological cycle resulting in a change in the
amount, frequency, and intensity of surface precipitation. How the future hydrological pattern …

Abstract Excess nitrate (NO 3−) is a critical problem in agricultural land-use areas, causing
eutrophication and hypoxia in surface waters. Diversion of agricultural runoff into saturated …

The nine-banded armadillo (Dasypus novemcinctus) has become a recent addition to the
local fauna of Illinois as a response to habitat alteration and climate change. This range …

Abstract In People of the Ecotone, Robert Morrissey weaves together a history of Native
peoples with a history of an ecotone to tell a new story about the roots of the Fox Wars …

The rainfed agricultural system in Illinois is vulnerable to shifts in extreme precipitation
(R95), especially during the cropping season. While previous studies have explored the …

Many soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] growers in the US Midwest rely on soil test values for
evaluating the crop's fertilizer needs. However, threshold values for Illinois were calibrated …
