Oregon’s forested coastal watersheds support important cold-water fisheries of salmon
and steelhead (Oncorhynchus spp.) as well as forestry-dependent local economies. Riparian
timber harvest restrictions in Oregon and elsewhere are designed to protect stream habitat
characteristics while enabling upland timber harvest. We present an assessment of riparian
leave tree rule effectiveness...
We investigated 32 net primary productivity (NPP) models by assessing skills to reproduce integrated NPP in the Arctic Ocean. The models were provided with two sources each of surface chlorophyll-a concentration (chlorophyll), photosynthetically available radiation (PAR), sea surface temperature (SST), and mixed-layer depth (MLD). The models were most sensitive to...
As the elderly population increases, more family, friends, and paid service providers assist them with consumption activities in a group that the authors conceptualize as the elderly consumption ensemble (ECE). Interviews with members of eight ECEs demonstrate consumption in advanced age as a group phenomenon rather than an individual one,...
