  • Simulating vegetation shifts and carbon cycling in Yosemite National Park

    Creator:
    Conklin, David R.
    Abstract:
    The vegetation in Yosemite National Park changed during the 20th century and may change in the 21st century in response to climate change. Vegetation surveys made during the 1930s and the 1990s provide benchmark records separated by 60 years. This study uses the MC1 dynamic global vegetation model to forecast...

  • Carbon and energy exchange of semi-arid ecosystems with heterogeneous canopy structure

    Creator:
    Anthoni, Peter M.
    Abstract:
    Carbon and energy fluxes were measured with the eddy covariance technique above two semi-arid ecosystems, ponderosa pine and juniper/sagebrush, located in central Oregon. The two ecosystems have low LAI and a very open canopy structure. The energy closure was ~70-80% at both ecosystems, equivalent to an imbalance of 150-250 W...

  • Fatty acids of exercised and non-exercised salmon

    Creator:
    Saddler, James Bryan
    Abstract:
    The fatty acids of coho salmon were identified and then a study was conducted to determine the effects of exercise on the fatty acids of salmon forced to swim against water velocities of 52, 54, 56, and 59 cm/sec, The shorter and lighter salmon were less competent at a given...

  • Harnessing Heterogeneity in Human Gut Microbiome Data

    Creator:
    Tataru, Christine
    Abstract:
    The focus of this thesis is to design, characterize, and apply novel computational methods and molecular systems to interrogate heterogeneous human gut microbiome-related phenomena. In Chapter 2, I design, implement, and characterize a method for embedding co-occurrence patterns derived from massive 16s amplicon datasets. I use this method to 1....
