Creator:: Rockhold, Mark L.
Abstract:: An experimental and numerical modeling investigation was conducted to study interactions between microbial dynamics and transport processes in variably saturated porous media. These interactions are important in a variety of applied problems such as water and wastewater treatment, bioremediation, and oil-field recovery operations. These processes and interactions also have great...

Creator:: Licata, Julian A.
Abstract:: Many studies have shown that net primary production in old-growth Douglas-fir/western hemlock forests is lower than in younger forests in similar sites, although the cause is still not clear. One possibility is that overall carbon assimilation, or GPP, is lower in older forests. However, it is difficult to measure GPP...

Creator:: Rogers, Brendan M.
Abstract:: The U.S Pacific Northwest contains a wide variety of ecosystems, all subject to relatively dry summers and wet winters. As has been shown with paleoclimatic and paleoecological data, the region is vulnerable to changes in climate. We assessed the sensitivities of vegetation distributions, carbon stocks, and fire regimes to 21st...
