• "Crop planting dates: an analysis of global patterns"

Sacks WJ, Deryng D, Foley JA, et al., Global Ecology and Biogeography 19 (5): 607-620 Sep 2010.  In temperate regions, spatial patterns of maize and spring wheat planting dates can be predicted reasonably well by assuming a fixed temperature at planting.

• "Producer and consumer responsibility for greenhouse gas emissions from agricultural production-a perspective from the Brazilian Amazon"

Zaks DPM, Barford CC, Ramankutty N, et al., Enviornmental Research Letters 4 (4): article #044010 Oct-Dec 2009. This study quantifies the greenhouse gas emissions from the production of soybeans and beef in the Amazon basin of Brazil, a region where rates of both deforestation and agricultural exports are high.

• "Prairie restoration and carbon sequestration: difficulties quantifying C sources and sinks using a biometric approach"

Cahill, KN; Kucharik, CJ; Foley, JA. ECOLOGICAL APPLICATIONS 19 (8): 2185-2201 DEC 2009. We investigated carbon cycling and ecosystem characteristics among two prairie restoration treatments established in 1987 and adjacent cropland, all part of the Conservation Reserve Program in southwestern Wisconsin, USA.

• "Climate change and lakes: estimating sensitivities of water and carbon budgets"

Cardille JA, Carpenter SR, Foley JA, et al., Journal of Geophysical Research-Biogeosciences 114 article #G03011 Aug 2009. changes are poorly understood across entire lake-rich regions. The authors used a spatially explicit simulation model of water and carbon cycling to explore the potential behavior of 6739 lakes and watersheds to changes in climate.
