Nitrosomonas sp. Is79 is a chemolithoautotrophic ammonia-oxidizing bacterium that belongs to the family Nitrosomonadaceae within the phylum Proteobacteria. Ammonia oxidation is the first step of nitrification, an important process in the global nitrogen cycle ultimately resulting in the production of nitrate. Nitrosomonas sp. Is79 is an ammonia oxidizer of high...
A broad definition of forestry would be the study of trees, forests, and their use by people. Modern science-based forestry is thought to have begun in the nineteenth century when Europeans looked to specialists to address questions of wood supply and extraction both in their forests at home and in...
A broad definition of forestry would include the study of trees and forests and their use by people. Modern, "science-based" forestry began in the nineteenth century when Europeans looked for specialists who could address questions on wood supply and extraction both at home and in their colonies. The threat of...

Modern or science-based forestry began in the nineteenth century when Europeans looked to specialists to address questions of wood supply and its extraction from both their forests at home and their colonies....
In the existing 276 international river basins, the increase in water variability projected by most climate change scenarios may present serious challenges to riparian states.This research maps the institutional resilience to water variability in transboundary basins and combines it with both historic and projected variability regimes, with the objective of...
The deep-sea environment is a sink for a wide variety of contaminants including heavy metals and organic compounds of anthropogenic origin. Life history traits of many deep-water fish species including longevity and high trophic position may predispose them to contaminant exposure and subsequent induction of pathological changes, including tumour formation....
In February of 1975, the School of Forestry sponsored a series of lectures and discussions on the topic, "Forests of the World-Future Resources Conflicts." The objectives of these presentations were to examine prospects for future forest use, the demands that will be made on forest resources of all sorts, the...
An integrated analysis of turbulence observations from four unique instrument platforms obtained over
the Hawaiian Ridge leads to an assessment of the vertical, cross-ridge, and along-ridge structure of turbulence
dissipation rate and diffusivity. The diffusivity near the seafloor was, on average, 15 times that in the
midwater column. At 1000-m...
