An assessment of plant community structure, herbivory, soils, and state-and-transition theory on a winterfat (Krascheninnikovia lanata [Pursh] A.D.J. Meeuse & Smit) ecological site

Creator:: Matney, Casey A.
Abstract:: State-and-transition models (STMs) have been successfully used to describe ecological dynamics in woodlands, shrublands, grasslands, and several other ecosystems. Changes in vegetation and soil are measured to gauge and predict plant community dynamics within ecological states and transitions between alternative ecological states.

Branching Brownian Motion with One Absorbing and One Reflecting Boundary

Creator:: Felder, William F.
Abstract:: In this work we will analyze branching Brownian motion on a finite interval with oneabsorbing and one reflecting boundary, having constant drift rate toward the absorbingboundary. Similar processes have been considered by Kesten ([12]), and more recently byHarris, Hesse, and Kyprianou ([11]). The current offering is motivated largely by the...

The effects of PCB exposure on the behavior of the shore crab Hemigrapsus oregonensis

Creator:: Pearson, Walter H.
Abstract:: The behavior of the shore crab Hemigrapsus oregonensis was assessed with and without exposure to polychlorinated biphenyls (Aroclor 1260). After describing the crab's behavioral repertoire, activity budgets were developed from observations of the time crabs spent in 20 categories of shelter use, posture, and activity while held in habitat replicas...
