Grasslands account for a large proportion of global terrestrial productivity and play a critical role in carbon and water
cycling. Within grasslands, photosynthetic pathway is an important functional trait yielding different rates of productivity
along environmental gradients. Recently, C₃-C₄ sorting along spatial environmental gradients has been reassessed by
controlling for...
It is not unusual to see stranded or washed-up marine animals and birds along any
coastline. Various networks nationwide exist to report marine mammals and sea birds,
yet, we have been unable to find a network in Oregon or nationally to report other

Lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta) forests are widely distributed throughout western North America. However, the lodgepole pine forests of central Oregon are ecologically unique to the region, with a mixed severity fire regime, low cone serotiny, and their occasional presence as a climax species. Most of the research conducted regarding the...
Most of today’s Internet of Things (IoT) applications assume that data will be moved offdevices into centralized cloud platforms. While existing IoT systems leverage cloud-based analytics for meaningful data reasoning, the assumption that data should always be moved off the devices is problematic. The amount of data to be moved...
