Abstract:: Computer simulations and experiments were used to determine the basis for skewness and inequality in size structures (frequency distributions of Individual plant sizes) prior to self-thinning mortality. In simulated stands, density-dependent neighborhood heterogeneity caused variability in the growth rate of individuals with the same size, and such variability caused skewness...

Creator:: Prive, Sean
Abstract:: As species of ash trees become increasingly threatened worldwide by exotic pests and pathogens, it is important to develop descriptions of their ecologies that help guide the conservation and restoration of forests in which they are a major component. Oregon ash (Fraxinus latifolia) is a dominant tree species in wetland...

Creator:: Herring, Thomas A. (Thomas Andrew)
Abstract:: Coal-fired power plants constitute a significant source of energy production for the United States, and are projected to do so for decades to come. Most of the scrutiny coal-fired power plants receive is in the form of environmental concerns regarding green house gas emissions of carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, and...
