We investigated habitat attributes related to the occupancy of the globally rare and endangered
epiphytic lichen, Erioderma pedicellatum, in a newly discovered (2009) population center in Denali National
Park and Preserve (DNPP), Alaska. We measured forest, tree and epiphytic lichen community
characteristics on eighty-five systematically selected plots in four study...
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...
