Small-Scale Urban Nature Parks: Why Should We Care?

Creator:: Baur, Joshua W. R. and Tynon, Joanne F.
Abstract:: Small-scale urban natural parks have the potential to contribute to the health and well-being of urban communities. Although recreation researchers have seldom focused on such areas, recreation research theory can be successfully applied to urban natural parks, especially if augmented by the application of social capital and social networks theory....

Berry-producing shrub characteristics following wolf reintroduction in Yellowstone National Park

Creator:: Beschta, Robert L. and Ripple, William J.
Abstract:: Gray wolves (Canis lupus) were reintroduced into Yellowstone National Park in 1995-96, thus completing the park’s large predator guild. In the fall of 2010, approximately 15 years after wolf reintroduction, we sampled ten genera/species of berry-producing shrubs within 97 aspen (Populus tremuloides) stands in the park’s northern ungulate winter range....

The Impact of Buffer Zone Size and Management on Illegal Extraction, Park Protection, and Enforcement

Creator:: Robinson, Elizabeth J. Z., Albers, Heidi J., and Busby, Gwenlyn M.
Abstract:: Many protected areas or parks in developing countries have buffer zones at their boundaries to achieve the dual goals of protecting park resources and providing resource benefits to neighbouring people. Despite the prevalence of these zoning policies, few behavioural models of people’s buffer zone use inform the sizing and management...

Effects of bison on willow and cottonwood in northern Yellowstone National Park

Creator:: Painter, Luke E. and Ripple, William J.
Abstract:: On the northern ungulate winter range of Yellowstone Park, willow (Salix spp.) and cottonwood (Populus angustifolia and P. balsamifera) have increased in height and cover in some places since the reintroduction of wolves (Canis lupus) and the subsequent changes in elk (Cervus elaphus) behavior and population densities. However, in the...

Method to Determine Locations of Tsunami Vertical Evacuation Shelters

Creator:: Park, Sangki, van de Lindt, John W., Gupta, Rakesh, and Cox, Daniel
Abstract:: The 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami and the 2011 Great Tohoku Japan earthquake and tsunami focused a great deal of the world’s attention on the effect of tsunamis on buildings and infrastructure. When a tsunami impacts structures in a coastal community, the structures are often not strong enough to withstand the...

Grassland Response to Herbicides and Seeding of Native Grasses 6 Years Posttreatment

Creator:: Endress, Bryan A., Parks, Catherine G., Naylor, Bridgett J., Radosevich, Steven R., and Porter, Mark
Abstract:: Herbicides are the primary method used to control exotic, invasive plants. This study evaluated restoration efforts applied to grasslands dominated by an invasive plant, sulfur cinquefoil, 6 yr after treatments. Of the five herbicides we evaluated, picloram continued to provide the best control of sulfur cinquefoil over 6 yr. We...

Effects of ungulate herbivory on aspen, cottonwood, and willow development under forest fuels treatment regimes

Creator:: Endress, Bryan A., Wisdom, Michael J., Vavra, Martin, Parks, Catherine G., Dick, Brian L., Naylor, Bridgett J., and Boyd, Jennifer M.
Abstract:: Herbivory by domestic and wild ungulates can dramatically affect vegetation structure, composition and dynamics in nearly every terrestrial ecosystem of the world. These effects are of particular concern in forests of western North America, where intensive herbivory by native and domestic ungulates has the potential to substantially reduce or eliminate...

Evaluating theories of drought-induced vegetation mortality using a multimodel– experiment framework

Creator:: McDowell, Nate G., Gehres, Nathan, Limousin, Jean Marc, Macalady, Alison, Martínez-Vilalta, Jordi, Mencuccini, Maurizio, Plaut, Jennifer A., Ogée, Jérôme, Robert E., Pangle, Rasse, Daniel P., Ryan, Michael G., Fisher, Rosie A., Sevanto, Sanna, Waring, Richard H., Williams, A. Park, Yepez, Enrico A., Pockman, William T., Xu, Chonggang, Domec, Jean-Christophe, Holtta, Teemu, Mackay, D. Scott, Sperry, John S., Boutz, Amanda, and Dickman, Lee
Abstract:: Model–data comparisons of plant physiological processes provide an understanding of mechanisms underlying vegetation responses to climate. We simulated the physiology of a pi~non pine–juniper woodland (Pinus edulis–Juniperus monosperma) that experienced mortality during a 5 yr precipitation-reduction experiment, allowing a framework with which to examine our knowledge of drought-induced tree mortality....

An expert system for optimizing computer aided design of post frame buildings

Creator:: Gebremedhin, K. G., Jagdale, S. S., and Gupta, R.
Abstract:: A procedure has been developed to optimize designs of metal-clad post-frame buildings using an expert system. The novel part of the study is the development of a procedure that extends the solution of an engineering problem from a conventional algorithmic Computer Aided Design (CAD) program to be used by the...

Trophic cascades linking wolves (Canis lupus), coyotes (Canis latrans), and small mammals

Creator:: Miller, Brian J., Harlow, Henry J., Harlow, Tyler S., Biggins, Dean, and Ripple, William J.
Abstract:: When large carnivores are extirpated from ecosystems that evolved with apex predators, these systems can change at the herbivore and plant trophic levels. Such changes across trophic levels are called cascading effects and they are very important to conservation. Studies on the effects of reintroduced wolves in Yellowstone National Park...
