Carbon isotopes show snowpack acts as a valuable moisture subsidy to mountain forests in the Oregon Cascades

Creator:

Ratcliff, Christopher J.

Abstract:

This study examines climatological influences, particularly that of snowpack, on tree growth and stable carbon isotope discrimination (Δ¹³C) from ~1980 to 2013 at two sites located in the upper reaches of the McKenzie River watershed of the Oregon Cascade Mountains. We tested the use of Δ¹³C values from latewood, corroborated...

Coralline and fleshy algae volume density on epifaunal communities

Creator:

Field, Samuel J. and Gani, Christopher D.

Abstract:

Carbon dioxide emissions greatly affect the carbon chemistry mechanisms within the ocean. Carbon absorbed by the ocean, drops the pH level and creates an environment that is acidic. Acidic conditions prevent calcification mechanisms in coralline algae, and hinder their ability to establish within the intertidal. Coralline algae display structural relevance...
