Sediment accumulation within weathering pits on Dance Hall Rock, Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, Utah

Creator:: Taddie, Marissa C.
Abstract:: The purpose of this paper was to examine if the depth and degree of circularity of weathering pits affects the accumulation of sediment. Thirty pits were surveyed over two one-week periods on Dance Hall Rock. Weathering pits were measured to determine their maximum width, minimum width, vertical depth, and depth...

Chronobiology of garter snakes : environmental and hormonal mechanisms mediating hibernation and reproduction

Creator:: Lutterschmidt, Deborah I.
Abstract:: Most vertebrates exhibit seasonality in many life history traits. Such seasonal rhythms are temporally organized via the transduction of environmental cues (e.g., photoperiod, temperature) into appropriate endocrine signals. However, among ectothermic vertebrates that undergo continuous winter dormancy, temperature is the only environmental cue available for synchronizing seasonal rhythms. Most intriguing...

Manipulating Soil Moisture and Nitrogen Availability to Improve Fermentation Behavior and Wine Quality. Part I: Vine Physiological Performance, Yield Components, Ripening Dynamics, and Fruit Composition

Creator:: Silva, Elisabete, Sampaio, Tiago, and Candolfi-Vasconcelos, M. Carmo
Abstract:: This study integrates various vineyard practices that may improve nitrogen availability to the vine, particularly during ripening . Different strategies aimed at improving fermentation behavior and wine quality are being evaluated. This study aims to optimize fruit quality and maximize the juice nitrogen fraction that can be used by yeast...

Maturity and stability evaluation of composted yard debris

Creator:: Brewer, Linda J.
Abstract:: Compost maturity is an important determinant of end use for composted municipal yard debris, and generally refers to the effect the compost has on plants. The rate of microbial respiration is an indicator of compost stability. The objectives of this research were to: i) determine whether continuous aeration resulted in...

Influence of habitat characteristics on Greater sage-grouse reproductive success in the Montana Mountains, Nevada

Creator:: Rebholz, James L.
Abstract:: Greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) populations have declined across their geographic range during the last century. They were once widespread throughout the Intermountain West, but lower annual productivity, likely caused by degradation and loss of suitable habitat, has greatly reduced their distribution and population densities. Habitat used for reproduction has been...

Molecular characterization of criniviruses and ilarviruses infecting strawberry

Creator:: Tzanetakis, Ioannis E.
Abstract:: Pallidosis is a disease of strawberry identified in 1957 with an unknown etiology. Two previously uncharacterized viruses in strawberry, Strawberry pallidosis associated virus (SPaV) and Beet pseudo-yellows virus (BPYV), have been found associated with disease symptoms. The complete nucleotide sequence of both viruses was determined and molecular detection protocols developed....

General management principles and a checklist of strategies to guide forest biodiversity conservation

Creator:: Lindenmayer, D.B., Franklin, J.F., and Fischer, J.
Abstract:: Many indicators and criteria have been proposed to assess the sustainable management of forests but their scientific validity remains uncertain. Because the effects of forest disturbances (such as logging) are often specific to particular species, sites, landscapes, regions and forest types, management ‘‘shortcuts’’ such as indicator species, focal species and...

Use of nondestructive spectroscopy to assess chlorophyll and nitrogen in fresh leaves

Creator:: Ding, Pinghai
Abstract:: Four aspects of factors influencing the accuracy of nondestructive chlorophyll (Chl) and nitrogen (N) measurement in fresh leaves were studied: (1) optimum wavelength (OW) identification; (2) indices development and evaluation; (3) influence of leaf properties; and (4) influence of meter parameters and sampling technique. Results were used to develop indices...
