The social construction of crisis: Deconstructing the complex pathways linking disaster, conflict, and peace

Creator:: Peters, Laura E. R.
Abstract:: We are witness to an ever tighter coupling between natural hazard-related disasters ("disasters") and violent social conflict ("conflict").

Protected-area effectiveness near dynamic colonization zones : Forest clearance in and around Amboró National Park, Bolivia

Creator:: Bucklin, David N.
Abstract:: Protected natural areas are important reserves for biodiversity, and in the tropics, often play a role in deterring deforestation. This paper evaluates the effectiveness of a protected-area with a two-tiered management regime in Bolivia, Amboró National Park and Integrated Management Natural Area (IMNA), in deterring clearance of forest. Four satellite...

Chilling as a factor in crop location with particular reference to deciduous orchards in California

Creator:: Aron, Robert Henry
Abstract:: Several empirical formulas that may be used to estimate available chilling are presented in this study. Many climatic parameters were considered in the derivation of these formulas. One equation employing only maximum and minimum temperatures had a coefficients of correlation (R) and R² values of .978 and .957, respectively. This...
