  • Grazer-resource Behavior, Interactions, and Feedbacks Control Kelp-forest Dynamics and Stability

    Creator:
    Randell, Zachary H.
    Abstract:
    How the direct and indirect effects of species interactions cascade to affect community structure, functioning, and stability is a fundamental question in ecology. In temperate kelp forests, species interactions, in conjunction with environmental processes, produce rich spatiotemporal dynamics. Arguably the most dramatic of these are abrupt shifts in community state,...

  • Post-harvest establishment influences ANPP, soil C and DOC export in complex mountainous terrain

    Creator:
    Peterson, Fox S.
    Abstract:
    The link between aboveground net primary productivity (ANPP) and resource gradients generated by complex terrain (solar radiation, nutrients, and moisture) has been established in the literature. Belowground ecosystem stocks and functions, such as soil organic carbon (SOC), dissolved organic carbon (DOC), and belowground productivity have also been related to the...

  • Seeing the snow through the trees : towards a validated canopy adjustment for satellite fractional snow-covered area

    Creator:
    Coons, Lexi
    Abstract:
    Forest canopy cover presents a major challenge for remote sensing of fractional snow-covered area (ƒSCA). Snow cover is systematically underestimated where satellites sensors cannot penetrate the forest canopy. Current canopy adjustments scale observable ƒSCA with the vegetation fraction, assuming that snow cover distributions are similar between sub-canopy and open locations....
