Impacts of Range Management Decisions on Native Pollinators: Innovative Grazing Practices and Riparian Restoration

Creator:

Mitchell, Scott R.

Abstract:

Animal pollination is critical to plant reproduction in agricultural and wildland ecosystems. Much of the production of seeds and fruits in natural areas, which underlie many food webs, depends on pollination services by insects. The taxon responsible for delivering the bulk of these services in most temperate systems is bees....

Plot-Scale Field Investigation : Characterizing Water Motion in Sandy Agricultural Soils

Creator:

Nolasco, Stephanie M.

Abstract:

Irrigated agricultural production in sandy soils presents several unique challenges to growers, including naturally high permeability, low native water retention, as well as high rates of water drainage losses and leaching of chemicals to the shallow aquifers. This study is an initial investigation into water motion in the sandy agricultural...
