Short-term flooding of an experimental coastal forest impacted soils but not trees, with implications for understanding ecosystem disturbance responses.
Lab experiments show that just a few saltwater pulses can rapidly alter soil pore structure and reduce oxygen flow, stressing tree roots in coastal forest soils.
Newly designed sensor network comprehensively monitors a range of coastal landscapes to better understand nutrient and elemental dynamics that drive ecosystem function.
A research team from Pacific Northwest National Laboratory used machine reasoning to schedule scientific workflows while guaranteeing quality of service (QoS).
David Wunschel, a chemist and Laboratory Fellow, participated on a panel focused on how emerging technologies are transforming CBRN defense, detection, and response across military and government operations.
Connecting energy generation, electricity storage, and using sensors and control software to track load, including precommercial market marine energy generation technologies.
This summer, scientists at PNNL led discussions on their latest research related to artificial intelligence and One Health at the Health and Environmental Sciences Institute conference.
Due to their inherent variability and complexity over space and time, scientists are challenged to understand the complex interactions among soil, vegetation, and water along coastal terrestrial-aquatic interfaces.
