Management controls and pressure groups: the mediation of overflows

Creator:: Jollands, Stephen, Akroyd, Chris, and Sawabe, Norio
Abstract:: Purpose Organisations produce effects that go beyond the economic framing within which they operate, referred to as overflows in this paper. When an organisation comes under pressure to address these overflows they must decide how to respond. Previous research has placed social and environmental reporting as an important tool organisations...

Evolution of sediment accommodation space in steady state bedrock-incising valleys subject to episodic aggradation

Creator:: Lancaster, Stephen T.
Abstract:: Steepland valleys subject to debris flows incise bedrock even as episodic deposition typically covers valley bottoms. This paper’s hypothesis is that, while continual fluvial processes evacuate deposits, storage of episodic deposition drives valley widening and, thereby, creation of accommodation space for sediment storage on the valley floor. Data from three...

A mesic maximum in biological water use demarcates biome sensitivity to aridity shifts

Creator:: Good, Stephen P.
Abstract:: Biome function is largely governed by how efficiently available resources can be used and yet for water, the ratio of direct biological resource use (transpiration, E_T) to total supply (annual precipitation, P) at ecosystem scales remains poorly characterized. Here, we synthesize field, remote sensing and ecohydrological modelling estimates to show...

Evaluation of the effects of silvicultural and fuels treatments on potential fire behaviour in Sierra Nevada mixed-conifer forests

Creator:: Stephens, Scott Lewis
Abstract:: Fire suppression has increased fuel loads and fuel continuity in mixed-conifer ecosystems, resulting in forest structures that are vulnerable to catastrophic fire. This paper models fire behaviour in a mixed-conifer forest and investigates how silvicultural and fuels treatments affect potential fire behaviour. The computer program FARSITE was used to spatially...

Variations in the alongshore correlation of sea level along the West Coast of North America

Creator:: Osmer, Stephen R. and Huyer, Adriana, 1945-
Abstract:: We investigated sea level fluctuations at seven locations from San Francisco to Torino, British Columbia, during a 2-year period beginning in August 1973. Using overlapping 2-month periods, we found the alongshore correlation to vary with time and with location along the coast. In winter the fluctuatioans are correlated along the...

Sources of nutrients and energy for a deep biosphere on Mars

Creator:: Fisk, Martin R. and Giovannoni, Stephen J.
Abstract:: Hydrothermal vents appear to be the tip of the subsurface biosphere in the ocean crust. The primary prducers in this biosphere are prokaryotes that tolerate a wide variety of physical and chemical conditions and are versatile in their use of inorganic compounds to drive metabolism. A synthesis of chemical and...

Metagenomics: Microbial diversity through a scratched lens

Creator:: Temperton, Ben and Giovannoni, Stephen J.
Abstract:: Since nucleic acids were first extracted directly from the environment and sequenced, metagenomics has grown to one of the most data-rich and pervasive techniques for understanding the taxonomic and functional diversity of microbial communities. In the last decade, cheaper sequencing has democratized the application of metagenomics and generated billions of...

Soil carbon and nitrogen pools and processes in an old-growth conifer forest 13 years after trenching

Creator:: Hart, Stephen C. and Sollins, Phil
Abstract:: We measured surface soil (0–15 cm) C and N pools and processes inside and outside an area that had been trenched 13 years earlier in an old-growth conifer forest (>450 years) to assess the long-term impacts of reduced root inputs on C and N turnover. Trenching, combined with frequent clipping...

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...
