Last Century Warming Over the Canadian Atlantic Shelves Linked to Weak Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation

Creator:: Thibodeau, Benoit, Not, Christelle, Hu, Jiang, Schmittner, Andreas, Noone, David, Tabor, Clay, Zhang, Jiaxu, and Liu, Zhengyu
Abstract:: The Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) is a key component of the global climate system. Recent studies suggested a twentieth-century weakening of the AMOC of unprecedented amplitude (similar to 15%) over the last millennium. Here we present a record of O-18 in benthic foraminifera from sediment cores retrieved from the...

Evaluating carbon storage, timber harvest, and habitat possibilities for a Western Cascades (USA) forest landscape

Creator:: Kline, Jeffrey D., Harmon, Mark E., Spies, Thomas A., Morzillo, Anita T., Pabst, Robert J., McComb, Brenda C., Schnekenburger, Frank, Olsen, Keith A., Csuti, Blair, and Vogeler, Jody C.
Abstract:: Forest policymakers and managers have long sought ways to evaluate the capability of forest landscapes to jointly produce timber, habitat, and other ecosystem services in response to forest management. Currently, carbon is of particular interest as policies for increasing carbon storage on federal lands are being proposed. However, a challenge...

River Microbiome Composition Reflects Macroscale Climatic and Geomorphic Differences in Headwater Streams

Creator:: URycki, Dawn R., Good, Stephen P., Crump, Byron C., Chadwick, Jessica, and Jones, Gerrad D.
Abstract:: Maintaining the quality and quantity of water resources in light of complex changes in climate, human land use, and ecosystem composition requires detailed understanding of ecohydrologic function within catchments, yet monitoring relevant upstream characteristics can be challenging. In this study, we investigate how variability in riverine microbial communities can be...

Translating the Animal

Creator:: Owen, Melody
Abstract:: My thesis in Environmental Arts and Humanities concerned the idea of animal language, as well as other posthuman ideas around animality and indistinction. I also explored virtual space as it relates to human identity, our notions of reality and perception, and the way contemporary digital artists approach animal subjectivity in...

An auction mechanism for the optimal provision of ecosystem services under climate change

Creator:: Lewis, David J. and Polasky, Stephen
Abstract:: The provision of many ecosystem services depends on the spatial pattern of land use across multiple landowners. Even holding land use constant, ecosystem service provision may change through time due to climate change. This paper develops an auction mechanism that implements an optimal solution for providing ecosystem services through time...

Ecohydrologic Connections in Semiarid Watershed Systems of Central Oregon USA

Creator:: Ochoa, Carlos G., Caruso, Phil, Ray, Grace, Deboodt, Tim, Jarvis, W. Todd, and Guldan, Steven J.
Abstract:: An improved understanding of ecohydrologic connections is critical for improving land management decisions in water-scarce regions of the western United States. For this study, conducted in a semiarid (358 mm) rangeland location in central Oregon, we evaluated precipitation-interception-soil moisture dynamics at the plot scale and characterized surface water and groundwater...

Investigating Calving Areas for Rocky Mountain Elk on the Plumas National Forest: Implications for Land Management

Creator:: Marshall, Abigail C.
Abstract:: Sustainable elk (Cervus canadensis) habitat management on U.S. Forest Service (USFS) lands involves a complex relationship between management practices and ecological processes. A relatively novel Rocky Mountain elk population (Cervus canadensis nelsoni) on the Plumas National Forest (PNF) in northeastern California became established in the early 2000s, but there is...

A Prototype of Structured Decision Making with Ecological Modeling for Tribal Agricultural Resource Management Plans

Creator:: Ciocco, Anthony
Abstract:: Agriculture Resource Management Plans (ARMPs) are the primary programmatic-level planning document for the management of tribal rangelands in North America. This project compares a standard ARMP product with a prototype ARMP developed through a Structured Decision Making (SDM) approach for the Navajo Partitioned Lands. The SDM approach provided increased transparency...

Pillaging Bloodwood: An Exploratory Examination of Illegal Deforestation in Guinea-Bissau Through Forest Disturbance Algorithms and Unsupervised Clustering Techniques

Creator:: Walters, Alexander E.
Abstract:: Environmental crime around the world, such as trafficking in illegal timber, is directly related to political instability. Traffickers exploit weak, fragile, and chaotic political circumstances to illegally extract high-value commodities, challenging the extent to which conservation goals are achievable in resource rich developing countries. Rosewood is the largest traded endangered...
